The Eltham Murder Mystery: Murderous Mondays
The Eltham Murder Mystery of 1871 involves pregnant Jane Clouson and her “young man”, Edward “Ned” Pook, who is none other than the son of the head of the household from which she has just been dismissed.
Pretty Jane Clouson is ecstatic to receive a letter from her Ned wishing to meet with her that night to give her some tremendous news.  Jane is excited and tells her friends and family about her planned meeting with her Ned.  She never returns.
On a lonely road, Jane is found bludgeoned so extensively that her brains are protruding over her eye.  She has been bludgeoned face to face – she saw it happen.
This case became a cause celebre at the time, eventually leading to riots in town.
The murder of Jane Clouson of the Eltham Murder Mystery is today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
