The Notorious Case of Charles Peace - Murderous Mondays
News of the Times Episode 263  | 1879
Charles Peace, a notorious figure in Victorian England, was infamous for his criminal activities as a master burglar and murderer. Born in Sheffield in 1832, Peace developed a knack for deception and disguise, earning him the moniker of the "man of a thousand faces."
As a type of “Moriarty” character, despite his outward appearance as a well-dressed and respectable gentleman, Peace led a double life of crime. He carried out daring burglaries, often using his skills as a locksmith to gain entry into wealthy homes.
One of Peace's most notorious acts was the murder of Arthur Dyson, the husband of a woman with whom Peace had allegedly been romantically involved. 
Master burglar, violin virtuoso, man of 1000 disguises and murderer – we take a look at the life and crimes of Charles Peace in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
