Episode description
Murder and Cannibalism - Frightful Fridays
News of the Times Episode 248 | 1845 - 1888
In today’s episode we are looking at three cases of human beings placed under the harshest of conditions and the murder and documented cannibalism that ensued.
Our first case from 1845 is the doomed attempt to find the Northwest passage. Scurvy, food poisoning, and ultimately cannibalism in the arctic eventually is believed to have killed off all 127 crew members.
Our second case from 1884 took place in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The 7 survivors, days away from dying, admit to having had to resort t murder, then cannibalism.
Our last case from 1888 is still remembered today in the UK. Losing their ship and living in a small craft in open ocean with no water or food - one of them must be sacrificed to feed the others.
Three cases of murder and cannibalism is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
