The Mysterious Manchester Murders
The Mysterious Manchester Murders
News of the Times Episode 462 | 1905-1906
In this epsidoe, we journey back to Manchester in 1905.
A rag and bone man, searching for discarded treasures, makes a horrifying discovery in the cellar of an abandoned house—a battered and gagged 15-year-old boy, his life cruelly taken in an apparent act of senseless violence.
With no clear motive and the boy’s working-class background offering little in the way of explanation, the community is left reeling. His devastated family insists he was a responsible young lad, making the crime all the more perplexing.
Fast forward 18 months, and in the same area, another grim scene unfolds. As demolition workers prepare to tear down an old, derelict house, a foul stench rises from the cellar. What they uncover will add yet another layer of horror to this already chilling case.
We investigate these two shocking crimes that gripped Manchester in 1905.
And in our end-of-episode Further Particulars segment, we step into a different kind of mystery from 1908—one that left a farmer and his family utterly baffled. Objects within their home began moving inexplicably before their very eyes. Was it a trick of the mind, or something far more sinister?
