Cases of Parricide for Love & the Naked Body on Christmas Day
News of the Times Episode 425 | 1844 & 1919
In today’s episode we look at two Christmas cases from Liverpool.
Our first case from 1855 involves Mary who lives with her father. Mary is in love with a young man from Liverpool. Alas, Mary’s father does not approve. The argument goes on for some time. Mary is then invited to visit her boyfriend in Liverpool for Christmas. Her father refuses stating categorically that she is not allowed to see him at all. Mary buys rat poison.
In our second case from 1919, the body of a woman is found outside in an alleyway, stripped of all clothing. Police are immediately on it despite the holiday.
For those who like the unusual: We have two stories in our end of episode further particulars segment. The first case involves the body of a woman dragged out of the river – her face is deeply scarred. The body is identified and the daughter arrested – she confesses. But the alleged dead woman shortly afterwards arrives at the police station.
Our second story landed in our laps by chance! For our American cousins – a report from 1919 explaining how much crime there is in America and the reasons behind it.
