The Wood Green Affair
News of the Times Episode 330 | 1825
In today’s episode it is 1869 in North London.
Frederick Hinson, who is undergoing some monetary issues, and who is known to have an occasional drinking problem, suspects his live in partner of having an affair with their neighbour, wealthy, known playboy William Boyd.
His partner, Maria, was a governess of a well to do family and socially, she is most probably above him. Yet, the two have lived comfortably together for some years.
Fearing that she is having an affair with the wealthy neighbour, he lays a trap for her telling her he will be away all day. A few hours later, he finds that she has travelled to London with the playboy neighbour and he is incensed. Stalking the train station waiting for the couple to arrive back from London, he grows increasingly angrier.
The double murder of the Wood Green Affair, and its encompassing brutality, is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.
We hope you enjoy the show!
