Step into the dark streets of Victorian London and uncover the chilling true story of Dr. Thomas Neill Cream, a respected physician who became one of history’s most calculated serial killers.

Known as The Lambeth Poisoner, Cream used his medical knowledge to murder vulnerable women using strychnine, a poison that caused hours of violent suffering. From Canada to the United States to England, his crimes spanned three countries, exposing massive failures in justice, forensics, and medical oversight.

In this episode of Serial Killer Files by Skoob, host Arthur Morgan breaks down Cream’s disturbing rise—from medical student to convicted murderer—his manipulation of police through blackmail letters, the myth linking him to Jack the Ripper, and the arrogance that ultimately led to his execution at Newgate Prison.

This is a deep dive into true crime history, Victorian serial killers, poison murders, and how authority can hide monsters in plain sight.
