The Croydon Killer - Sinister Saturdays
News of the Times Episode 287 | 1907
It is 1907 Croydon, South London and wealthy widow Mrs Blume has unexpectedly died a few weeks after taking in her new lodger. Even more surprisingly, she has left her considerable estate to the same new lodger. The daughter, who has been utterly cut out of her mother’s will and had seen her four days before her death, is suspicious and contests the will.
And from here, a tragic tale of more deaths unfolds as the lodger scrambles to cover his tracks. Poisoned stout, wrong victims and masonic pleas for help are all part of the dark tableau of the Croydon Killer in today’s episode of Sinister Saturdays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
