The 1893 Mysterious Murder at Poplar
The 1893 Mysterious Murder at Poplar
News of the Times Episode 463 | 1893
In this episode, we travel back to London, 1893, where a shocking crime has stunned the public. Mrs. Ann Darby, a 79-year-old widow, living on welfare in a rented apartment, is found brutally murdered in her bed—her head bludgeoned with the back of an axe.
The newspapers are outraged. If an elderly, impoverished widow isn’t safe in her own home, what is the world coming to? One suspect emerges based on witness accounts—but is it enough to secure a conviction?
We dive into this gripping case that dominated the headlines of the time.
And in today’s end of episode Further Particulars segment, we journey to Ireland, where an active poltergeist—witnessed by multiple people—is wreaking havoc on a local community.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
