#3 - The Bedfordbury Baby-Batterer (Covent Garden, London, WC2)

On Saturday 5th September 1901, two year old Thomas James Mills was brutally beaten to death by his death by his depressed, unemployed and alcoholic father, but what initially seemed like a simple case of infanticide may actually be a lot more complicated, and although almost entirely forgotten, it is a murder case which will give you a shocking insight into the brutal and cruel life as a pauper living in one of London’s worst slums.

  • Date: Saturday 5th September 1901
  • Location: 3 Bedfordbury, Covent Garden, London, WC2
  • Victims: 1 (Thomas James Mills)
  • Culprit: James John Richardson
