Margaret Messenger: The 13 Year Old Serial Killer
In this episode of Serial Killer Saturdays, we look at another child serial killer (the previous story being the Agnes Norman Case Episode 29)
This case related to two small children deaths in one family whilst under the care of a 13 year old girl working as a servant in the family. The Margaret Messenger case while very sad, was also exceptional due to the youth of the girl. The case brought up a real difficulty legally as the courts were unprepared to deal with a crime of this nature from one so young.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
