Victorian Love Triangle Murder

Victorian Love Triangle Murder

Through the industrial fog of Victorian London, in one of the city's most notorious slums, a murder took place that shocked a nation.


The Bermondsey Horror, as it was called at the time, centred around a young woman and her older partner, and a wealthy man who was lured to their home one night.


How did the gruesome events unfold? What did Charles Dickens have to say about the public execution? And what was the social impact of this story?


Edited by Tom Delargy. Research by Phoebe Joyce. Produced by Stuart Beckwith. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
