The Curious Case of The Liverpool Sack Murder
News of the Times Episode 423 | 1913
In today’s episode it is December 1913 in Liverpool, and a passing fisherman upon the canal spots a sack floating in the water.
Curious, he fishes the sack out of the canal only to find the horrifying remains of a woman, doubled over, with an additional sack placed on her head. Two iron weights had been placed in the sack no doubt with the hope of keeping the grisly remains hidden at the bottom of the canal.
The woman is wearing an unusual charm necklace making it easy to identify her. Tracks of a hand cart to the bank also help lead police to a company less than a mile away. Here, upon questioning staff there, police immediate find their two suspects.
However, one of the suspects has gone into hiding. The chase is on not only to retrieve the suspect before he make his escape, but also to understand the motive behind the killing. Was it lust? Or possibly money, although the loss of cash is negligible.
We take a look at the case of the Liverpool Sack murder that made the national papers and gripped the residents of Liverpool.
For those who like the unusual, todays further particulars story explores the case, also from 1913, of the person who dressed up as Satan in order to steal a body. Here at the News of the Times team, we lack this kind of vivid imagination to make these kinds of stories up.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
