The Bermondsey Horror


Listen Later

First episodes, love triangles, and a murder--oh my!

Join co-hosts Kayley and Siera as they dive into the case of the Bermondsey horror.  In the first episode of the True Crime and Punishment podcast, we'll take a look into 1800s London. Marie de Roux, a Swiss maid looking for a way to pull herself up in the world, meets two eligible bachelors. Patrick O'Connor, a wealthy Irish man nearly twice her age, and Fredrick George Manning, a railway guard waiting on his inheritance. Of the three, one will die by violent hands,  and two will die by the hangman's noose. Who will Marie marry? Who will she maim?
