News of the Times Episode 145 | 1923
The Ilford Tragedy: Murderous Mondays
In 1923, the Edith Thompson and Frederick Bywaters case that took place in Ilford was a tragic and infamous criminal trial in England. The case involved allegations of murder and adultery, with some salacious correspondence thrown in.  Edith’s husband, Percy Thompson, is brutally attacked and murdered on a London street. The police investigation uncovered older woman Edith's affair with teenager Bywaters, and the love letters became key pieces of evidence.
In this episode we look at the people in this tragic love triangle and the outcome of events.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
