Two Cases of Killer Catherines - Wicked Wednesdays
News of the Times Episode 280 | 1850 & 1890
In today’s episode we look at two cases where the killer was named Catherine.
Our first case from 1840 Ireland tells a famous murder case in its day. Catherine has left her drunken husband and moved back with her mother. Although the drunken husband leaves for a while, he returns. The murder that ensued is most notable for the attempted cover-up with the involvement of Catherine’s mother who was also charged. It was unusual to have both mother and daughter in the dock for murder.
Our second Catherine case takes place in 1890 Oxford University. Catherine has been having a running affair with the junior dean of the College. With a gift and an explanation that their relationship is finished, Catherine is in a fury when she realises that he will be marrying someone else and takes what she believes to be justice into her own hands. This scandal in Oxford was huge in its day.
Two cases of killer Catherines from 1850 and 1890 is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
