News of the Times Episode 209 | 1840
In today’s episode we take a look at a Scotland Yard case from 1840 – The Islington Murder – a great story showcasing how Scotland Yard eventually get their man.
A robbery and murder of a wealthy older man, not shy of flashing his cash, takes place. It does not take long for the police to trace evidence to a primary suspect, but, despite the evidence, he gets off!
However, Scotland Yard remain undismayed and set out quite a clever trap for their man by appealing to his greed, and in some measure to his stupidity.
