Episode description
The Southwestern Train Murder
News of the Times Episode 298 | 1901
It is 1901 and there are three people travelling towards London in a third class railway carriage. All of the sudden, one of the passengers gets up, shoots point blank at a fellow passenger, and then shoots the other in the face when she speaks.
There were very few stories that could make the papers during this time of Queen Victoria’s death, but this was one of them. The execution style killing on a train shocked the nation.
We take a look at the crime, the capture, the motive and the execution in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
