Fatal Transactions: When the Cash Register Rings Death
Wicked Wednesdays
News of the Times Episode 213 | 1872 & 1903
In today’s episode we take a look at two famous cases in their day involving shopkeepers. 
We have covered before how dangerous being a housemaid could be – today we look at the dangers associated with being a shopkeeper.
Our first story from 1872, named the Hoxton Horror by the press, sees mother and daughter shopkeepers bludgeoned to death in mid-day on a busy street.
Our second story from 1903 involves a recently released prisoner who has come up with the perfect plan to gain his fortune quickly by gaining the trust of shopkeepers and their families, annihilating them, and then taking over their business, property and households.
Two gripping cases of shopkeepers horrifically slaughtered in Victorian and Edwardian England is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
