On Wednesday 24th of May 1871, a wealthy bachelor called Frederick Moon came 23 Newton Road in Bayswater, the lavish home of his girlfriend Hannah Newington for dinner. They ate fine food, they drank good wine, they listened to music on the piano, and then – for reasons that no-one could fathom – he ended up dead. But who had killed him? His girlfriend, her lover, their guests, himself, or was it fate?Date: Wednesday 24th of May 1871 at roughly 12amLocation: 23 Newton Road in Bayswater, London, England, W2Victim: 1 (Frederick Graves Moon)Culprit: 1 (Hannah Newington)Keyword: British murder / killingBlog - https://www.murdermiletours.com/blog/murder-mile-uk-true-crime-podcast-235-the-accident-suicide-or-murder-of-freddy-moonMurder Mile is researched, written and performed by Michael of Murder Mile UK True Crime Podcast with the main musical themes written and performed by Erik Stein and Jon Boux of Cult With No Name and additional music, as used under the Creative Commons License 4.0.
