The Horrifying Hyde Park Murder
News of the Times Episode 404 | 1915
In today’s episode, we are in the heart of London in 1915.
Local resident, Alice Elizabeth Jarman, described as weak minded and suffering a walking impediment, is found brutally murdered and cruelly left in a ditch in Hyde Park. A terrible case, but sadly not a case that is distinguishably remarkable.
Until news is released that the horrific wounds she received were made with a bayonet. There is an army barracks quite close, and she had stated that she was seeing soldiers, but the 1915 bayonets issued do not match her wounds.
And then, a bayonet is found in the sewers that do match her wounds. The bayonet that is the potential murder weapon is dated 1888. Thoughts turn to possible Ripper victim, Martha Tabram…
We take a look at this sad case from the heart of London during World War 1.
For those who like the unusual, we have a similarly themed case under our further particulars segment at the end of the episode. A missing illegitimate young girl who does not get on with her family and the findings in the garden by the new tenant 20 years later…
Hosted by Robin Coles.
