Episode description

News of the Times Episode 95| 1876
The Blackburn Sweeney Todd: Murderous Mondays
This case was nicknamed the Blackburn Sweeney Todd in the papers. 
The incredibly horrific crime, even by today's somewhat less shockable standards, made the national headlines.  For those who followed the Whitechapel Wednesdays, this is one of the cases that was referred to for the argument to use dogs to catch the ripper.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
