Shocking Dark Crime Tales of Britain
News of the Times Episode 373  | 1766 - 1848
In today’s episode we are exploring shocking crimes of their time across Britian spanning between 1766 to 1848.

What is deemed shocking in one era can certainly be considered very much less so in another era, yet we found all of the stories in this episode shocking in their own way.

Case 1: selling a young girl on the Royla Exchange in 1766
Case 2: Torture and starvation of a wife in 1767
Case 3: The famous case of the blind man who cruelly murders his boy guide in 1800
Case 4: Charged with roasting a child – in 1816
Case 5: The returning son who is murdered by his father unknowingly in 1834
Case 6: Killing a boyfriend’s children for revenge in 1848

For our true crime buffs, we give more information about one Britian’s more infamous and prolific executioners at the end of the episode.

Six dark and murderous tales from Britain’s past is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

The Case of the Althorp Murder
News of the Times Episode 372 | 1892
1892 Northampton and married with two children husband and father,  Andrew McRae, has a plan.
His mistress of some two years has become pregnant – a complication that could be utter financial ruin for himself.
Drawing on the famous Richmond case with Kate Webster, McRae plots out his full proof plan on disposing of Annie without anyone knowing or questioning her disappearance.
His horrific crimes involved dismemberment, boiling and burning the bones.  With the murder location across the street from a police station, McRae decided to not take a chance with the larger parts which, instead, he dumped in a ditch some 6 miles away.  McRae was confident he had achieved the perfect crime.
We take a look at the background, the crime, the investigation and the capture of this infamous case which, arguably, could be considered almost unmatched in terms of cruelty and cold hearted execution.
For Victorian legal eagles, the case had an interesting defence premise that was used to attempt to have the case thrown out.  We take a quick look at this at the end of the show.

The case of the Althorp Murder is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

The Murderous Case of the River Packages
News of the Times Episode 371 | 1877
In today’s episode, it is 1877 in a small village in Wales.  In the early morning as people begin their day, a hand, with arm attached is found drifting down the river. 
As the day progresses, more body parts are discovered.  The head is recovered from the river with eyes gouged out and hair cut short.  Eventually, most of the parts of a young pregnant woman are pieced together by the local surgeon.  The body is so badly mutilated that it can only be identified by close family through the various pieces of clothing still attached to some of the parts.
This horrific crime in a small sleepy hamlet in North Wales made the national papers.
We take a look at the background, the crime, the investigation and the execution of the case of the river packages in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

Guilty from Beyond the Grave
News of the Times Episode 369 | 1629 & 1735
On today’s episode we look at two cases – carefully recorded in their day – where the alleged murderer(s) are named from beyond the grave.
Our first case from 1629, nearly 400 years ago, occurs during the reign of Charles 1st.  A body is found lying in bed, child in arms, with her neck cut ear to ear.  The court is sure they know who has done it, but the ultimate proof is if the body, that has been buried for 30 days and is then exhumed, bleeds when touched by the hand that murdered it.  This belief held even into the early 19th century in some of the more remote villages.
Our second case from 1735, during the reign of George II, an equally well documented tale, recounts the disappearance of a young pregnant girl who just seems to vanish.  Then, a local miller begins to be haunted by the missing girl, as a bloody spectacle, telling him to inform the authorities and give evidence as to where her body is buried.
Two documented cases of phenomena pointing to their murderers from beyond the grave is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.
For our history buffs – do stick around to the end where we do a short roundup of ghosts in UK history.

The Mystery of the Hansom Cab Murder
News of the Times Episode 368 | 1889
Manchester 1889 and in the foggy cold gloom of a damp and windy February, a cabbie roams the streets hoping for a fare.  A gentleman calls out, requesting taking to an inn and two men enter the cab. 
With the loud sound of the horse’s hooves on the cobblestone streets, the cabbie is abruptly alarmed when a voice calls out that the cab door is open and that a young man is running down the street.
Alarmed, the cabbie jumps down only to find the older gentleman insensible.  He dies shortly afterwards.
It is dark and there are few about.  The description given to the police is generic and could pass for almost any young man in Manchester. 
What follows is a show of incredible investigative determination with one of our detective heroes commended by Scotland Yard as one of the greatest detectives.
We take a look at the background, the crime and the incredible capture that we believe, without cc tv, would have been difficult to solve in our day and age.  The mysterious hansom cab murder is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

The Case of the Murder on Battersea Bridge
News of the Times Episode 367 | 1844
8444 Battersea bridge London, and an attractive middle aged woman staggers towards the toll booth, clutching a handkerchief to her neck.  Helped gently to the ground, she is questioned as to who has done this to her.  “Dalmas”, she whispers.
This story made all the papers in 1844, a feat that was not so very common for a crime story in 1844. The story had all the facets to grab the attention:  a beautiful woman, a potential illicit affair between a Frenchman and a Sunday school teacher, money, deception and finally, murder.
Through letters left behind, we explore the initial romance of the relationship which slowly turns to a relationship of bitter resentment with attempts to utterly destroy the other party.
We take a look at the background, the victim, the crime and the aftermath of the case of the murder on Battersea Bridge in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

The Mystery of the Woman in the Woods - Scotland Yard Casebook
News of the Times Episode 366 | 1908
1908 in a small upscale village in Kent.  Retired Major General Charles Luard, and his wife, Caroline, have gone on their daily walk, admiring the views as they do. Then they part ways: Charles heads to his golf club and Caroline heads back to the house for a planned afternoon tea with a friend.
But Caroline never arrives back.  Some several hours later, Charles re-traces his steps to find Caroline has been brutally murdered at a summer house they passed on their path that morning.
The mystery, with such a high-ranking officer and with minimal clues, brought in Scotland yard.
The mystery deepens as Charles, devasted by the loss of his wife, begins to receive a barrage of anonymous poison pen letters, many post marked from within the small quiet village, accusing him of murdering his wife.
This case made the headlines at the time. We take a look at the background, the story and the conclusion of this Scotland yard mystery. 
For true crime fans, do be sure to stay to the end where we present information about detection in late Victorian times from one of the detectives who worked on this case.

Deadly Relations: Shocking In-Law Murders
News of the Times Episode 365 | 1816 & 1898
In-laws – a potential subject of contention throughout time.
In today’s episode we look at two cases where a member of the family has decided that the offending in-law has to go.
Our first case from 1898 surrounds a father and son team who share the same lodging, the father being retired and being supported by his son.  Then, the son falls in love, weds and brings his new bride home.  The bride’s mother is also a constant visitor.  The father’s anger begins to spiral.
Our second case from 1816 is interesting in the difference of approach to potential murder compared to Victorian times.  An alleged successful doctor has married into a rich family, but he is always in debt.  Within a year, the mother, with a very large estate, has two attacks after having eaten at the doctor’s house.  The second attack is fatal.
Our true crime fans will spot the probable poison used which would seem to have been rare at the time as it is not considered.  Also interesting is the complete interference allowed by the doctor as the death is investigated – a very definite difference in police and investigative protocol .  And lastly, where is all the money going?
Two cases of deadly relations with the in laws is today’s episode of wicked Wednesday.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

The Case of the Discovered Teeth
News of the Times Episode 364  | 1913
In today’s episode it is 1913 and we are in a small village in Dorset with a population of 160.
A 24 year old cook who works in the manner house has gone missing.  Where has she gone?  It is the gossip that consumes the whole of the village.  Speculation is rife that she has gone to London for a job or that she emigrated to Canada.  Her distraught mother does not believe it.
And then, a series of events occurs to create suspicion.  Some boys in the woods spot a newly dug hole that suspiciously looks like a grave.  A few days later it has been filled in.
A dairy farmer taking a shortcut on an isolated path spots some false teeth on the ground.  Thinking nothing of it, he picks them up and places them on his mantelpiece, thereby drawing the attention of the visiting rector.
From there, the body of Winnie is found.  But who committed the murder in this small village where everyone knows everyone else and why did they do it?
This fascinating story made the national papers with headlines screaming for weeks.  We take a look at the background, the crime and the capture in the case of the discovered teeth in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

The London Oven Horror
News of the Times Episode 363 | 1898
This story from 1898 London captivated the press and the public for the sheer gruesomeness of the crime.

An out of work baker assistant, 36, whose place had been taken by a young 19 year old lad is unable to find work.  His resentment grows until one day, in the very early morning hours whilst the lad is at work, he unleashes all fury upon the young man.

A sad story and terrible.  However, it takes the police some time to find the body which is eventually discovered in the oven, being cooked.  The press and public had to know – was he alive when he was placed in the oven?

We take a look at the background, the crime, and the execution of the shocking story of the London Oven Horror in today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.
