Its Murder Up North19 Nov 2023

Albert Pierrepoint: Timothy Evans

At the time of his execution few had sympathy for Timothy Evans’ plight, after all he had been charged with the murders of his pregnant wife and 13 month old daughter. Add to this reports that he had been verbally and physically abusive to his wife throughout their marriage, on the surface he appeared to be the type of person the death penalty had been designed for, in that it removed a violent and dangerous individual who posed a threat to the public. However three years after his execution, new revelations would call into question whether he should have gone to the noose.
Join me as I delve into the story of Timothy Evans, and the murders of his wife Beryl and daughterGeraldine.
