Murder by Starvation | Episode 169 | 1877 - 1888

Murder by Starvation: Wicked Wednesdays
In this episode, we plunge deep into the darkest and most harrowing cases from the annals of history where the murder was caused by the purposeful starvation of the victim. We explore the chilling tales of murder by the cruellest means imaginable.

Throughout history, there have been cases where individuals met their untimely demise not through weapons or poison, but through a slow, agonizing process of starvation. In this episode, we'll uncover some of the most shocking instances of this macabre method of murder.
The simple-minded heiress who was locked away from the rest of the world as her toy boy husband lavished her money and clothes on his 15-year-old mistress.
The cruel mother and son team who, after having taken her fortune, locked food away from the all too trusting wife as she slowly starved to death.
And the wealthy older husband who was left to slowly die by his younger wife in a filthy bedroom within his prestigious manor.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
