Morty - That's just a made up account that she was having a sexual affair with her illegitimate son, they just wanted to call her a name, she had 12 children by John Hayes, she met him when she was 16 yrs old, she wasn't a prostitute either, it was just another nickname to throw a slur at a murderess.
well men have very few rights right now compared to women... so its not as if its much better right now anyway for men... but ofcourse, who cares about men...right?@@curiouscuriouser2670
Yes! "Briefcase" a true treasure, and Yes! I did the same thing too..watched every single video! I just couldn't get enough and still can't...Here's a couple more channels (also at the top of my personal faves list) which are of the same superior calibre - in a similar genre somewhat,but with their own personal unique style:"Obsolete Oddity", ("Oddie"is the greatest too!) And does amazing case studies with a beautiful rich romantic Victorian slant!) And.."Scary Mysteries": Superb (again!) videos of all thing strange and interesting...along with BC and Oddie, one of the BEST narrators and voices on TH-cam...Enjoy! You may just need to order in pizza a couple of nights!
It’s so strange when people state that they can’t get a divorce because of their religion & so decide to commit murder instead. Uhhh, isn’t that worse than divorce??
I could sit and listen to you read the ingredients off the side of a cereal box and be perfectly at peace with myself and all things. You truly do have a eloquence and melody in the way you speak, your diction. What a wonderful blessing to be bestowed upon you by the father of us all. God bless you for doing this and sharing your gift with the rest of us. :) pbwu
Absolutely agree with you. I also like that you just read the information you found with no added judgement on the person that may or may not have committed the crime.
The creators who write,research, compose and narrate their videos to their own unique specs are the greatest, that's what makes "Briefcase" the gem of a channel(and one of the absolute best- in my view) on TH-cam....check out 2 more of my faves(of a similar genre and unique style) which stand up with BC to shine...."Obsolete Oddity, and "Scary Mysteries"...the level of quality,creativity and work these guys ALL give to their videos truly shows, and 3 of the most top both narrators/ vocals I ever heard! Enjoy!
I'd not heard of petty treason before and once you'd explained what it was I thought it rather unfair. After hearing what this women did to her husband I lost all sympathy. the way she lived her life she was always going to come to a gruesome end unfortunately.
In the Georgian Britain era a married woman could not leave or divorce her husband without being disgraced and possibly left penniless without property.
He usually made proceedings of divorce, a quick way of divorce & getting rid was to sell her at a market like livestock cattle. It was an accepted English Custom. She would still be punished for Petty Treason if she killed him out of sheer need to escape daily beatings & or rapes, driven to kill to defend herself, there were no laws to protect her from that.
@@NPC-fr6wo what would the grounds in a court be for divorce, one woman tried to get a divorce from her husband because she could not stand him beating her anymore, the judge said her husband had the right to beat her and said ' No ' she could not have a divorce, forget rape too the husband was allowed to do that to her any time he wished, he could thrash her within an inch of her life, one woman fell dead in the street from a beating from her husband, it was only said that was most unfortunate, the only thing frowned upon was that he actually made her die, not the fact that he would have made her terribly ill. Believe me there was no divorce to be obtained by women, usually, the men claimed that she was a terrible wife & was committing adultery, sometimes a court would not give him a divorce but was told to do the custom of ' Wife selling ', which was to seel her off like a piece of common livestock, like cattle at the market place.
Thanks, Maria. I was just going to point this out. These cases seem well researched, so it's disappointing the narrtor didn't feel the need to point this out and instead trotted out some BS claiming women could just leave their husbands at will.
The same could be said for divorce in today's day and age (except for the disgraced part) if the man is wealthy and has his fiance sign a prenuptial aggreement. If a prenup is signed (with the man being the wealthier of the two) and later on they get a divorce, the woman gets nothing of what the man made or owns. That's no reason to kill someone.
I have been listening to these old stories from a few different channels for the last four weeks and I have to say that it is a myth that people were more moral and religious back then. I think just as much sin, murder and debauchery went on back then as it does today. We just have more people on the planet and faster ways to here about the criminals.
I n those times there were murder sin and debauchery but at the same time people were still believers real believers has a great sense of sin and murder was not so abundant and terrible as it is today whether you like it
EXACTLY. Sin, Debauchery, murder, evil has been naturally ingrained in mankind from the very beginning of time. Matter of fact, I believe they were more barbaric than they are today.
Of all the Brief Cases I have seen so far, this one is probably the most unsettling, due to the manner of execution the murderess faced. Just sends chills down my spine. As always, well done.
why is it the death of the MURDER that bothers you? how many of these cases are the victims murdered in horrible and grotesque ways? why is it not their deaths that "stand out" to you, its the way their MURDER met her end. there was a very easy way to not be burned at the stake. you don't commit incest and murder. the victim didn't get to make such a choice
Thankyou so much even though this story proved the most popular when i did a survey with 5 work colleagues before releasing my channel i was not sure how it would be received :)
Your doing good with your channel you are the first I have been able to start with when you first started up so I am super excited to see when you post something new I have not been disappointed yet keep them coming Brief Case.
Well, men can be evil and to incur into deviant behavior, why can't women do as well? I recognize historic cases of made up stories such as that infamous rumour about Marie Antoinette jerking off his son that was spread during French Revolution, but circumstances seem not to depict Catherine Hayes as a pretty good woman ...
@@maureengillies9495 Yes, living in that age should have been boring as hell, it was a sensation to go to places such as La Greve in France to watch a person being tortured to death.
I wish they bought back the execution that they used on her for paedophiles and child killers at least for the ones where its undeniable guilt Garry glitter for example
Gary Glitter, holy shit!!!! I totally forget about that. I'm down for bringing back the gallows, guillotine and firing squads. Like you said, anyone who is obviously guilty wouldn't even go to jail in my book. Why waste resources? Finish court, go out back...take care of it.
@@kt47793 Sounds like an excellent plan. I would add rapists along with the pedophiles. Take away private ownership of prisons where people can't make a fortune off incarceration and see how fast capital punishment resurfaces on the cheap.
@@KARTIKEYA007 So murder should be answered with murder, and those who think murdering is a-okay (even if it is done _to_ a murderer) aren't just a bit twisted _too?_ Okay, putting aside death penalty arguments entirely, since that's its own thing... It's more someone whose mind is okay with the idea of someone being burned alive that is really sick, to me. That shows a profound lack of empathy. And lack of empathy is one of the notable characteristics of murderers.
You've put up quite a few vids, and I've missed quite a few of them. Not today! I'm going to make coffee, sit back, sipping listening to the soothing sounds of your voice!! Thanks Brief Case!
Awesomesauce! So glad Mortis has been linking to you:)!! Love your vids...keep up the great work! Also, more vids a month is always better. Many positive thoughts headed your way from Montana😉!
They put his head on a stake?! Whoa, Georgian era! Take it easy! 😲 I really love your channel! I'm absolutely fascinated by every presentation. Thank you for sharing the dark corners of British history with us! 🖤🖤🖤
Hi Michelle, Yes no photos back then, The older stories are my favorites but looking at the viewing figures this is not shared by the audience :( I've already recorded Mondays story and we are going back to Victorian Britain, the story is not as gruesome but was massive in the 19th Century and one I find it very interesting :)
Brief Case The "numbers" must be insane! I adore the long-lost history! Instead of another "Share" post, I need to share with the individuals that I know have the same captivation (obsession, really. 😝)! Let's roll in the subs! 😜 Btw, I CANNOT wait until Monday! 😘🖤🖤🖤
Michelle Mendisco - I'd like to point out that even in the 1700s putting one's severed head on a pole was a punishment, this punishment dates back to medieval times and putting ones head on a pole didn't happen to everybody, that was reserved for special punishments of people that had their heads chopped off, it happened to traitors. Lord Lovat was the last Lord to have his head chopped off in the 1700s, they could have stuck his head on a pole too if the Judge wished to. As a matter of fact, people attempting suicide were hanged by the law right up until 1944, yes indeed there was capital punishment awaiting those who did not make a success of their suicide. As for the Georgian's goodness knows what went through their heads with sticking poor old murdered John Hayes head on a stake, perhaps they thought he was guilty of something anyway, because usually it would have been wrapped up and left inside a church for anyone to come forward & identify, notice could or would have been nailed to the door of the church.
came over here from Mortis Media, and I am glad I did, love the way you told this case, and the history of the term "Petty Treason" which I never knew about. Thank you from across the Pond in Canada. this is good.
@@chocomanger6873 if I am talking to someone that does, it just seems more appropriate to use their phrasing. yes I know as a Canadian we usually don't, yet if I am talking to someone from Britain or the UK and if they use a phrase like that, it just feels like it's being more mannerly.
I simply don't understand how John's head was recognized in the first place . After being so badly damaged and also being in the river , it should have been very difficult to tell whose head it was . Anyways , I am happy that it was recognized so that the trio were found out and their crime made public .
They is no excuse for taking another’s life, he wasn’t a difficult man, she was immoral and ungrateful, however her son and the butcher should not have taken part and for that they did not deserve to live…however their death was barbaric though her’s was by far worse…it just goes to show exactly what they thought of women in those times. Thank you for bringing all these amazing cases!
I really enjoy listening to the histories. Your voice help me sleep. So I never finish listening it to the end. So, I have to go back next day to listen all over again. 🙂
Had it not been for Mortis, I would not have come across your channel. I truly enjoy a chilling true crime story every now and then so please keep up with the good work :)
Another fascinating case. You do such a great job presenting the facts of these cases. I can't say I enjoy the videos, but I'm learning a lot about history. And how to guard my heart from evil. This might be one of the most gruesome cases I've ever heard. Quite scary actually. Thank you Brief Case.
I wonder too. To leave home at 15 and go right into prostitution makes me wonder what happened at home. Was she repeatedly molested or raped at home so she felt comfortable going into sex trade or was she just desperate or was she just unhinged.
I just found this channel yesterday,, but I am really enjoying it. I have an obsession with true crime stories. I accidentally binge watched till a little after 4:00 am. I really think I found my new favorite True Crime Channel.
Another one, so soon? Thank you for the creeps! 😱😨 P.S. Would you consider doing a story on the murder of Reena Virk? (I think that's how her name is spelled) I haven't seen a video anywhere done on her story.
Hi Angie, you can help me here currently I am publishing on Mondays and Thursdays so about 8 a month but I have thought about doing 6 videos a month. As I’m new to this I’m not entirely sure what is best for all of you guys :)
Hello Angie, I Haven't forgotten your request. I am awaiting some info to see if it is a case that I can do. I only do cases where I have lots of info so we will see what happens here. I think it would be good to do a Canadian case :)
@@BriefCaseOfficial Did you ever get that video done on that lady Angie had requested? I looked through your videos and couldn't find it. I would love to watch one on her also. Thanks for doing this super awesome channel. I just found you less than a week ago and Im loving it! Well done. And again, thank you. :')
3am just listened to mortis media been waiting for your video all day what a interest ing story very gruesome loved the narration and the facts of the case can't wait for the next video thank you.;)"
Here I am again watching some of your older videos. I don't know how long you've been doing this, but I've found several from four years ago. This is, I think, the third or fourth I've seen from the 18th century. I love all your stories, but I think the older ones are my favorites.
Great Britain might be the seat of democracy, high moral standards and sense of fair play, but also barbaric and petty tyrannical laws, thank goodness we have (mostly) got passed those terrible eras, I don’t know which was worse, the Edwardian, Elizabethan or Victorian passages of history, but I am glad that I didn’t live then, I don’t think I would have survived very long. Excellent episode, thanks for sharing. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴
It's not really that high on the list of countries with good moral standards, sense of fair play or the seat on democracy. Its mostly known as the opposite of those things - from someone outside of England
I have recently discovered your channel and I am already hooked. Your stories are so well-researched and fascinating. If you have time, please look at the case of Suzanne Capper, a young girl murdered in the early 90s in Manchester. Her story has been very much overlooked, possibly because it was so horrible or maybe it was overshadowed by the horrific murder of James Bulger. Suzanne deserves to be remembered.
Hello, I have read about this case and it is as you say extremely horrible. It has been covered on YT but I will read up on it again and get the relevant external info. Thankyou so much for subscribing and the case suggestion.
@@BriefCaseOfficial Thank you. I have seen one video about the case but it was a bit tasteless and I am sure you would do it more sensitively. Great channel.
Hello Patricia, Yes I know Mort, he kept on telling me to put all my crime knowledge on You Tube, and something no one knows when I told him my names for the channel he didn’t like any of them and his wife thought of Brief Case :)
Another great upload though not all of them have background music do they? I like the atmospheric music as long as it's kept at a decent volume and doesn't interfere with you speaking it is nice ^_^
Now I'm curious about the source material for the murder: at the time it was very easy to further discredit a woman who had committed a crime by presenting her as promiscuous, incestuous and so on.
I have just started watching these videos and have become addicted to the stories especially the early ones in listening closely our history was filled with all kinds of wrong not just the people who committed the crimes but the people who wronged them as well including the justice system some of these are really. Saddening
Very interesting I'm a buff on true crime but I must say I have never heard of any of these reports you share never knew there was so many crimes back then wow!! Sincerly,Angelia Frm:Waco Texas USA
Would the fire really have burned hot enough to reduce her to ash? And in only an hour? Even in house fires people aren't reduced to ash cause it isn't hot enough for long enough. Just curious cause if they had even a bit of a body left I wonder what they did with it.

This is a good example that harsh punishment does not deter crime. Evil will do evil no matter what.
Harsh punishment prevents the perpetrator from doing it again. So yes, it does prevent evil.

I'm more of a waffle man
@@Nobody_Fn_Important In Canada, you're seeing posters of flyers for Pancake Day? Is it at IHOP?
I simply don't understand how John's head was recognized in the first place . After being so badly damaged and also being in the river , it should have been very difficult to tell whose head it was . Anyways , I am happy that it was recognized so that the trio were found out and their crime made public .
This was a chilling story that made me shiver! great story ,
Thank you :)
Binging your channel today. Can’t stop!👍👍
yes blame the devil when you get caught 🤦♂️
I agree. It's stupid. Scapegoats don't save you.
Dude you’re channel is cool
I could never go and watch someone get burnt at the stake. Nightmares.
They is no excuse for taking another’s life, he wasn’t a difficult man, she was immoral and ungrateful, however her son and the butcher should not have taken part and for that they did not deserve to live…however their death was barbaric though her’s was by far worse…it just goes to show exactly what they thought of women in those times. Thank you for bringing all these amazing cases!
Truly horrifying. Love your channel. Thanks, Brief Case.
Thanks for watching :)
This channel really is a breath of fresh air for crime channels.Every case is one I've never heard of.Fantastic stuff.Thankyou.
I really enjoy listening to the histories. Your voice help me sleep. So I never finish listening it to the end. So, I have to go back next day to listen all over again. 🙂
Had it not been for Mortis, I would not have come across your channel. I truly enjoy a chilling true crime story every now and then so please keep up with the good work :)
I watched this a while ago but forgot to leave a comment.
Great case as always😁😉
Another fascinating case. You do such a great job presenting the facts of these cases.
I can't say I enjoy the videos, but I'm learning a lot about history. And how to guard my heart from evil. This might be one of the most gruesome cases I've ever heard. Quite scary actually. Thank you Brief Case.
Jesus. I wonder what her life was before the runaway? Her childhood. I bet this is a dark twisted sad existence. Damn.
I wonder too. To leave home at 15 and go right into prostitution makes me wonder what happened at home. Was she repeatedly molested or raped at home so she felt comfortable going into sex trade or was she just desperate or was she just unhinged.
Was any of that her husbands fault though.
Wow what a great story. Keep up the good work. Subscribed and liked
Thanks Funkychicken :)
She deserved every moment of pain. sleeping with her own son and murdering a good husband.
Eee sleeping with her son thats ugly.
Brief Case binging Saturday, while I'm getting over a cold! I love your channel & your voice♥♥ Please keep up the good work.
I love listening to this series as I make art and do my housework.
Love all these weird and unknown stories that you tell us. Thanks🙂
Hey these videos are awesome keep them coming 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thanks
She was just full of love and needed to express herself .
😂😂😂😂
I do so enjoy these comforting bedtime stories. 👍
Love from Greece stay strong love to hear all of these stories
I just found this channel yesterday,, but I am really enjoying it. I have an obsession with true crime stories. I accidentally binge watched till a little after 4:00 am. I really think I found my new favorite True Crime Channel.
Thanks
I really like the new background music and sound effects in the background. It made the story even more chilling! Keep on keepin' on!
That was a cold woman.....and a twice as sad story in general.....more....more....reading stories is a gift thanks!
Another one, so soon? Thank you for the creeps! 😱😨
P.S. Would you consider doing a story on the murder of Reena Virk? (I think that's how her name is spelled) I haven't seen a video anywhere done on her story.
Hi Angie, you can help me here currently I am publishing on Mondays and Thursdays so about 8 a month but I have thought about doing 6 videos a month. As I’m new to this I’m not entirely sure what is best for all of you guys :)
Hello Angie, I Haven't forgotten your request. I am awaiting some info to see if it is a case that I can do. I only do cases where I have lots of info so we will see what happens here. I think it would be good to do a Canadian case :)
@@BriefCaseOfficial Did you ever get that video done on that lady Angie had requested? I looked through your videos and couldn't find it. I would love to watch one on her also. Thanks for doing this super awesome channel. I just found you less than a week ago and Im loving it! Well done. And again, thank you. :')
3am just listened to mortis media been waiting for your video all day what a interest ing story very gruesome loved the narration and the facts of the case can't wait for the next video thank you.;)"
Next one Thursday but its a more modern story
Loving these stories just before l go to sleep. Thank you
Great show again last night : ) I really enjoy listening to your show
Thankyou :)
Here I am again watching some of your older videos. I don't know how long you've been doing this, but I've found several from four years ago. This is, I think, the third or fourth I've seen from the 18th century. I love all your stories, but I think the older ones are my favorites.
Thankyou
@@BriefCaseOfficial you're welcome.
Thanks for another great upload Briefcase! Loving all the cases I haven’t heard a thousand times already and in your case not at all . 😀🌹
That was a head trip. I wish your stories were longer. They're really good.
Thanks :)
Great Britain might be the seat of democracy, high moral standards and sense of fair play, but also barbaric and petty tyrannical laws, thank goodness we have (mostly) got passed those terrible eras, I don’t know which was worse, the Edwardian, Elizabethan or Victorian passages of history, but I am glad that I didn’t live then, I don’t think I would have survived very long. Excellent episode, thanks for sharing. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴
It's not really that high on the list of countries with good moral standards, sense of fair play or the seat on democracy. Its mostly known as the opposite of those things - from someone outside of England
I really do ENJOY your channel ☺ great work 😁
Never bite the hand who feed you.
I have recently discovered your channel and I am already hooked. Your stories are so well-researched and fascinating. If you have time, please look at the case of Suzanne Capper, a young girl murdered in the early 90s in Manchester. Her story has been very much overlooked, possibly because it was so horrible or maybe it was overshadowed by the horrific murder of James Bulger. Suzanne deserves to be remembered.
Hello, I have read about this case and it is as you say extremely horrible. It has been covered on YT but I will read up on it again and get the relevant external info. Thankyou so much for subscribing and the case suggestion.
@@BriefCaseOfficial Thank you. I have seen one video about the case but it was a bit tasteless and I am sure you would do it more sensitively. Great channel.
Her own son!?? Now that's just nasty! The story was well worth to listen too...
These 3 knuckle- heads...😖
Thanks again, Brief Case.
Those folks sure didn't play , Swift and immediate justice
Better than living on the taxpayer's dime exhausting appeal after appeal for 30 years
I love your vids. So informative and chilling. It never ceases to amaze me how greed, selfishness and arrogance has such a big role in murder.
Thankyou so much :)
Your channel is very chilling yet informative.💯💯
I love your series and your accent, keep up the good work!!!!!!
I do enjoy your stories, I may not comment on all of them. I do enjoy a horror tale. Thanks for sharing.
Always fascinated by this case. Wonderful job, as always!
Thanks :)
I shuddered over the execution as much as the murder. It’s all completely barbaric
I love history scary documentary stuff like this. Hello I'm new bty.
Love the old crimes, Are you friend with Mortis? How did He found you?
Hello Patricia, Yes I know Mort, he kept on telling me to put all my crime knowledge on You Tube, and something no one knows when I told him my names for the channel he didn’t like any of them and his wife thought of Brief Case :)
Brief Case Haha girls know some stuff
Love the name
It seems the punishment for murder used to be more vicious, cruel and blood thirsty than the murder itself. Glad we live in more civilized times.
Great story! Thanks BC😄
Love this channel
Thanks :)
Another great upload though not all of them have background music do they? I like the atmospheric music as long as it's kept at a decent volume and doesn't interfere with you speaking it is nice ^_^
All I can say is wow
Now I'm curious about the source material for the murder: at the time it was very easy to further discredit a woman who had committed a crime by presenting her as promiscuous, incestuous and so on.
and then there were also women that were ACTUALLY promiscuous, incestuous and so on
i am obssesed with the background music , omg i love it so much
Well done! Thanks!
EXCELLENT VIDEO ...... KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
Thanks :)
Burning people at the stake was so inhumane.
I have just started watching these videos and have become addicted to the stories especially the early ones in listening closely our history was filled with all kinds of wrong not just the people who committed the crimes but the people who wronged them as well including the justice system some of these are really. Saddening
Thankyou
You'd think that such torturous sentences would be a deterrent from performing these crimes. It just doesn't work that way.
Totally interesting , Thanks for sharein...
Yo the instrumental while narrative was lit 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 💯 💯
I could listen to you talk forever. Sick woman she was. Thank you so much.😚
Very interesting I'm a buff on true crime but I must say I have never heard of any of these reports you share never knew there was so many crimes back then wow!!
Sincerly,Angelia Frm:Waco Texas USA
Would the fire really have burned hot enough to reduce her to ash? And in only an hour? Even in house fires people aren't reduced to ash cause it isn't hot enough for long enough.
Just curious cause if they had even a bit of a body left I wonder what they did with it.
