The Murder That Stunned Victorian London — The Shocking Case of Mrs. Millson (1866)
News of the Times | Episode 537| 1866
Step into the gaslit streets of 1890s London, where scandal, betrayal, and murder collided in a case so sensational it gripped the entire city.

When Mrs. Millson’s tragic fate came to light, the press seized on every sordid detail — from whispered infidelities to the chilling evidence uncovered in the aftermath.

This is more than a Victorian murder story; it’s a glimpse into a world where reputations were everything, and one deadly night changed everything.

🔍 In Further Particulars: a decidedly less murderous — but equally eyebrow-raising — tale involving an unusual dispute, questionable judgment, and the sort of decision-making that makes you wonder whether common sense ever truly existed.

If you enjoy gripping true crime, historical scandal, and a touch of Victorian drama, this episode will have you hooked from the first word to the last.

🕯️ A documentary series exploring British criminal history through primary sources — ideal for viewers who enjoy history, forensic psychology, and courtroom drama without modern commentary or filler.
