News of the Times Episode 128 | 1690 - 1890
Tales of Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know
In this chilling episode, we delve into the dark and disturbing stories of three notorious women from history. Catherine Hayes, a woman from 1690, takes us on a journey filled with lust, incest, and a horrifying murder that led to her own gruesome demise.
Then, we uncover the twisted tale of Christina Edmunds, who plotted to poison a whole town in 1840, in order to disguise her sinister attempts to murder her intended victim.
Lastly, we recount the blood-curdling account of Mary Pearcey, whose heinous crime involved a bloodbath murder and the suffocation of an innocent infant in her pram.
All fairly nasty crimes and all with women you would not want to have a cup of tea with. Join us as we explore the depths of their dark deeds and the shocking consequences that followed.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
