The Twisted Case of The Stepney Murder
News of the Times Episode 447 | 1860
Today, we take you to 1860 Stepney, East London.
When wealthy widow Mary Emsley vanishes, concerned neighbours alert the police. Forcing entry, officers uncover a gruesome scene—Mrs Emsley, brutally bludgeoned, her skull shattered. A crime of greed, but with a twist: the cautious landlady would only have opened her door to someone she trusted.
A hefty reward sparks fresh leads, with a witness claiming to have seen a suspect hoarding her stolen goods. But is this the true killer—or a cunning ploy to claim the reward?
A gripping tale of murder, deception, and betrayal.
Our end of episode further particulars story:
a wife’s deadly plot to poison her husband and dispose of him at sea—only to be caught in the act!
