Scotland Yard Casebook: The Jealous Seamstress Who Stabbed Her Lover in Broad Daylight | True Crime 1902
News of the Times | Episode 545 | 1902
A bustling London street. A young man lies bleeding. A woman, once in love, now holds the knife.

In this gripping 1902 case from the Scotland Yard Casebook, we uncover the dramatic story of a seamstress whose jealousy turned deadly — and the scandal that followed. From courtroom theatrics to a surprising twist in motive, this real-life tale of love, betrayal, and sudden violence shocked Edwardian Britain.

🗞️ What drove her to commit murder in public view?
👗 Was it a crime of passion — or a calculated act of vengeance?
⚖️ And what did the jury decide after hearing her explosive confession?

Join us as we revisit the headlines, the trial, and the societal attitudes that shaped one of the most sensational cases of its time.

From crimes of passion to the peculiar perils of principle — we end with a wonderfully odd tale from 1922 Bermondsey, where a young heir to a vast Indian fortune voluntarily checked himself into a London workhouse.

His reason? He felt he hadn't earned the inheritance.

What followed involves lofty morals, lost money, and the timeless warning: never fall among thieves…
