Terrible Thomas Simmmons
News of the Times Episode 250 | 1807
Huddesdon, Hertfordshire in 1807 is a quiet little hamlet.  The Boreham family are having a merry family gathering with relatives and a family friend who has come to visit.  In the meantime, Thomas Simmons, an angry young man who has been let go due to his violent temper and his unwanted and inappropriate attentions to the family servant, has returned – armed with a knife.
What follows is a violent attack ending in a bloodbath.
We take a look at the story behind the jilted lover killings of a respectable Quaker family in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays
Hosted by Robin Coles.
