  • In this true crime video, Kevin Hicks explores the twisted tale of Catherine Hayes, and how she became embroiled in a tale of conspiracy, murder and ultimately her execution. Catherine Hayes was a woman of beauty and womanly charm who captivated the hearts of many, including her husband and a string of lovers. Yet beneath her alluring exterior lay a heart darkened by greed and desire.
    Catherine's nefarious plot to rid herself of her well off, but inconvenient husband would send shockwaves through her community, and lead to an excruciating end at the hands of the executioner.

      Only 73% of murders end in a conviction even today.
      Of that 73% wrongful conviction are present.
      Mind the law cannot dare appear incapable or unjust when it very much is in every society!
      Mind any nation with 100% conviction rate I guarantee all are wrongful conviction's like in the USSR or similar dictatorships.
      Scary thought for most that justice is a lie!
      Iustitia est regnorum fundamentum=Justice is foundational to kingdom/state/realm/nation.
      This was the founding maxim of Rome & England but my how people & the so called law have forgotten this or only apply it as they see fit.
      People never really learn!

      Food for thought lad.
      You should not insult or accuse the past when today is no different in much of the world lad!
      Honestly you should look through the pasts records on the matter they were generally far more stringent & less clinical for if they had doubts they would loosen the sentence unlike the USA today or worse from other nations.
      113 countries worldwide have abolished the death penalty completely in law but in practice that is another matter as leave western Europe laws are rather optional.

      The question there is how many of these guilty parties were the ones that actually did it.

    Policemen will attest that most crimes are committed by dimwits and are no Colombo or Sherlock Holmes mysteries. What are most needed to solve them are perseverance, attention and ingenuity from the detectives, qualities developed through experience. Kudos to the London police of the Catherine’s time, and kudos to Kevin! Notice: the police didn't "question" (torture) the suspects, according to that accompt.

    Awesome history! I'm 68, an historian, artist, cook & love wine(especially champagne/ German whites). I investigate new ideas; intrigued but selective!.
    As I hope everyone is!

    Awesome story, I'm curious how the confession was known? Were condemned confessions not private?

      No they weren't, visits to the condemned and their last moments were recorded by ordinary of the prison who went onto publish them.

    Wow! A truly lurid and fascinating case....brought to such a horrifying conclusion. I cannot help but wonder...how were such cases solved in those days? Did they have actual investigators at that time who might have used deductive reasoning? Or were cases solved primarily by making out the connections between a victim, family, and friends and acquaintances? Or the plain blatant stupidity and incompetence of the perpetrators? Can't help but think that would be a helpful factor in finding out who actually did the deed. As a (very) longtime student of forensic investigation, this case is a fascinating one, sir. Thank you!

      Some great questions there, I think it was more a combination of b) and c) but they did have coroners. Some of their reports are fascinating 👍🏻

      I wonder if these coroner records are available anywhere for study. I've studied numerous branches of forensic investigation for over 50 years...and these sound fascinating. I'd like to get an idea of..how they figured these cases out...and how they actually caught the correct perpetrators....or not. If you know of a book available on this subject, sir, I'd love to know its title so I can get it. It'd make fascinating reading for an old armchair detective! If you know of any such titles, I'd love to see them and get the books. As always, Mr Hicks, my thanks for your superb and fascinating videos!

    The description of the execution sounds like a Ben Elton comedy.

    A lot of people talk about the axe. No one mentions the handle had a name and his name was Geoffrey… good show mate.
