Murderous Stories of Inconvenient In-Laws
News of the Times Episode 307 | 1837 & 1861
Those pesky n-laws who get in the way of the whole purpose of having gotten married in the first place.
Our first case takes place in 1839.  Charles Bartlett, who works as an entertainer with a travelling show, has met and married a young girl, scarcely 18, who brings with her an initial dowry of £45!  Upon her mother’s death, she will inherit another £50!
Sadly, the mother-in-law is shot at from behind within a month of the marriage.  Charles was the last person to see her alive…
Our second case from 1861 takes place in the peaceable parish of Anglesey, North Wales.  Richard Rowlands has married the recently widowed daughter of a prosperous farmer.  Unfortunately, the father rather despises Richard and gives him a deadline to pack up his things, and his new family, and remove himself from his property.  There is one day left before he is required to leave when coincidentally, the father-in-law is beaten to death on a lonely pathway as he is walking home.
Two murderous cases of inconvenient in laws is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.
We hope you enjoy the show!
