Episode description
The Body in the Buttery
News of the Times Episode 392 | 1892
1892 Oldham, in Northern England, and odd things are going on with a tenant couple.
The wife has, supposedly, travelled to her mother’s due to her mother’s alleged health issues - she has not been seen in weeks.
The husband equally has not been seen around the property being rented for several weeks.
Neighbours are whispering that he has done away with his wife.
Suspicious, the landlord goes around the back and peeks through the window and sees, to her horror, that several of the flagstones in the kitchen have been lifted off and what looks like a pit in the shape of a grave has been dug in the middle of the kitchen!
We take a look at the background, the crime, the discovery and the conclusion of the murderous story of body in the buttery.
For true crime fans, take a look at our end of episode Further Particulars section where we take a quick look at the two other outrageous crimes that occurred at the same time that helped to push the body in the buttery murder off the front pages.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
