Blood Bonds Broken: Killing Father - Wicked Wednesdays
News of the Times Episode 216 | 1751 - 1890
In today’s episode we look at three cases of killing father.
Our first case, from 1752 remains a famous one in the UK. Mary Blandy, potential spinster, has a promise of love from a rogue already married, gambling indebted, Captain. The only thing standing in the way of love and inheritance is her father.
The second case from 1871 involving a deadly scythe remains a question of accidental or purposeful killing.
The last case from 1890 generated much sympathy at the time. The victim, a brutal cruel man, is the intended target. But which brother was truly responsible? Both brothers blame the other…
Three cases of murdering father is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
