The Infamous Murderous Lomas Morrey Love Triangle of 1812
The Infamous Murderous Lomas Morrey Love Triangle of 1812
News of the Times Episode 436 | 1812
In today’s episode it is 1812. King George III in on the throne. Edith and George Morrey enjoy a comfortable living together with their 5 children in Chester.
George Morrey is known as a congenial husband and master. A new young servant is brought in, John Lomas, and Edith, it would seem, quickly sets her sights on him.
A torrid intimacy ensues between servant John Lomas and his mistress and wife of his employer, Mrs Edith Morrey.
It would seem that the relationship between the two remains a secret until Edith decides she wants more. She promises young John that if he were to kill her husband, they could both marry and he would be the master. With constant cajoling and persuasion, John agrees.
What unfolds is a horrific long winded murder that is recounted step by incredible step.
This case was famous in its day and made the national papers – no small feat in 1812 publications of a local murder.
We take a look at the background, the crime, the verdict and the post script of the infamous murderous Lomas Morrey love Triangle.
For lovers of the unusual, we have an 1813 story of a drunkard who has fallen down a well and whose spectral apparition informs others in the neighbourhood of where he can be found.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
