Episode description
News of the Times Episode 152 | 1832 - 1879
A Collection of Macabre Murders | Twisted Tales Tuesdays
In today’s episode we look at some of the stories where murder was not enough. In these stories, murder was followed by an attempt to completely obliviate the victim.
We start with Charlotte Lawson and the horrific murder of her mistress in France. Followed by the infamous James Cook and Mr Paas case that was a sensation in its day.
Historically, one can argue that Kate Webster going so far as to attempt to boil off the flesh of the body parts and sell the fat is an impressive attempt at annihilation.
And we end with a love triangle that goes badly for the husband.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
