Disturbing History: Children in Broadmoor Prison
Frightful Fridays
News of the Times Episode 214 | 1903 & 1930
In this episode we look at two cases of children being sent to Broadmoor prison for the criminally insane.
Our first case from 1903 involves a possible, not proven, 8-year-old serial killer whose preferred victims are under two years old.  His preferred method of killing is to bury his victims alive.
Our second case from 1930 begins with a torrid obsession of 15-year-old George for 13-year-old Lillian.  His attempted murder of her fails, but his violence grows.
Two child murder cases where the government stepped in to commit the children to Broadmoor Prison for the Criminally Insane is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays
Hosted by Robin Coles.
