Brutal Murder Tales from the Georgian Era
News of the Times Episode 391 | 1692 - 1754
In today’s episode we look at a series of disturbing stories from Georgian times.
Our first case from 1742 involves a spoiled older son, worried that he will be disinherited by his younger brother and wanting his full inheritance now, he embarks on a killing spree of his family annihilating 11 persons.
Our second case from 1750 involves a woman whose old sweetheart has returned. What to do with the new husband who is in the way?
Our third case from 1751 looks at the persecution of a couple named to be witches.
Our fourth case from 1754 involves random eating of a gibbeted person and roasting his wife. Not for the faint hearted!
Our last case is a historic famous case. It refers to the Salem Witch case but has less to do with claims of witchcraft and more to do with ghostly apparitions pointing the finger at other people. The 1692 language is slightly awkward.
5 brutal cases of murder from Georgian times is today’s episode.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
