The Christmas Holyhead Murder 1909
News of the Times Episode 426 | 1909
In today’s episode we are in Wales in 1909.  Gwen Ellen jones is found murdered and dumped in a ditch.  Surprisingly, her ex boyfriend who has spent times attempting to find her proudly announces the killing of his ex girlfriend and mother of his child.
The case rocked the area not only for the sensational aspect of the crime itself, but also for the timing.  It was said, when she willingly went off with him, that the two were singing and laughing together.  In reality, he was leading her to her death.
We take a look at the background, the crime and the verdict in the case of the Christmas Holyhead murder.
In our end of episode further particulars segment, we have a story of a Christmas festivity from 1876 that goes terribly wrong.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
