Tales of Murderous Victorian Police

Tales of Murderous Victorian - Wicked Wednesdays
News of the Times Episode 251 | 1860 & 1897
Our first case from 1860 is a robbery and murder that then unfurls into a tale even more nefarious. Accusations are made as to who the culprit is with a view to getting their hands on the £300 reward money. But are they telling the truth or are they framing another for the murder they themselves committed? Scotland Yard became involved in this one and managed to see through the smoke and mirrors.
Our second case from 1897 is a bizarre and twisting tale as a young girl forms an intimacy with a married retired policeman resulting in a child. As the policeman’s panic sets in when she threatens to call in authorities, she ends up dead. But was it murder or suicide? And what role did the wife play?
Two twisted tales of murder involving Victorian policemen is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
We hope you enjoy the show!
Hosted by Robin Coles.

[@xenia367]

Fascinating as usual. Love this channel.❤❤

[@newsofthetimes]

How kind - thank you! Thank you for supporting us! 🙏

[@brendaholliday6866]

First of all, these were two "despicable," police officers. To use their official policies of what a police officer should do to their advantage and commit these heinous murders is beyond reproach, period. I believe both were guilty but unfortunately in the second case the jury weren't in total agreement on the verdict. Do you know whatever happened to Ellen's baby? Great investigation, presentation, backstories, illustrations, photos and videos, too. Take care 🦋

[@newsofthetimes]

Glad you likd the show! No, we do not know what happened to the baby - sorry. In the second case, the defence really worked the doubt and that is how he got off. But absolutely, this seems very questionable! Thank you, as always, for your support of our channel! 🙏

[@chicagogyrl4846]

How did the detective s know what was missing if they have never seen her house??!

[@newsofthetimes]

Great question! It was reported to them - sorry we did not write that in. 🙌

❤❤❤

[@newsofthetimes]

Thank you - very much appreciated! ♥

[@hamerjohn]

would you have the wallace case

[@newsofthetimes]

Yes, we do have the wallace case and several others. 😊 We will probably not be doing another of these episodes for awhile - on the whole, we think the Victorian Police did an outstanding job, for not much renumeration. Many joined from a sincere wish to do good in the community. As in any profession, it is only a few bad ones whihc sadly can leave a stain on the rest. 😔Thank you for your support! 🙏
