The Mother-in-law Murder in Armagh, Northern Ireland
News of the Times Episode 241 | 1905
In a small town near Armagh, Northern Ireland, in 1905, Isaac Pearson is in his cell awaiting his trial regarding assaulting a girl.  Contemplating his probable doom, he approaches the magistrates with information regarding a murder – the murder of his mother by his wife, Sarah Ann and his sister Agnes.
What unfolds is an astonishing tale of repeated attempts to kill 74 Alice Pearson which eventually succeeds, but who was responsible?
Was it the sister?  Or the sister-in-law?  Was it Isaac himself?  Or, all three?
The ruthless murder of 74 years old Alice Pearson by one or all close members of her family in Northern Ireland is today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
