Stories of Sibling Murder

Stories of Sibling Murder
News of the Times Episode 293 | 1873-1875
The killing of a sibling, another child one has grown up with, without the motivation of financial gain, is relatively rare.
In today’s episode we look at three cases where the sibling has been convicted of their sibling’s murder.
Our first case from 1873 is particularly odd as it recounts the story of a woman of some 75 years who murders her older sister, with a pitchfork.  Her older sister is around 80 years of age. 
Our second case from 1874 recounts the murder of a brother who disapproves of his much younger sister’s budding romance. She is found in a field with her throat slashed.
Our last case from 1875 Jersey retells the murder of a sister and the attempted murder of her husband.  This case is particularly unique as it involves a public execution some 7 years after public executions had been abolished in England.
Three cases of a sister and brothers murdering their respective siblings is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
