S03E04 - "The Merry Widow of Windy Nook" Mary Elizabeth Wilson

In the fourth episode of British Murders Season 3, I tell the story of Mary Elizabeth Wilson aka The Merry Widow of Windy Nook.⁣

Between 1955 and 1957, all four of Mary’s husbands suddenly passed away not long after taking their marriage vows.⁣

Upon excavation of their respective bodies, their stomachs and intensities were found to contain elemental phosphorus.⁣

Mary was only convicted of killing two of her husbands and was sentenced to death by hanging, later commuted to life imprisonment.⁣

She died at Holloway prison on December 5, 1962.⁣
