Watch this full episode about the Bermondsey Horror, the shocking Victorian murder by Marie Manning. Anthony Delaney and Maddy Pelling delve into the grisly 1849 killing of Patrick O'Conor, a wealthy moneylender lured to a house in a notorious London slum. The married couple, Frederick and Marie Manning, shot and bludgeoned O'Conor before burying his body under their kitchen floorboards, a crime that would horrify Dickensian London. Discover how early police work and sensational press coverage led to a nationwide manhunt for the fugitive killers, one fleeing to Edinburgh and the other to the island of Jersey. This case, culminating in the last public hanging of a husband and wife in Britain, captivated the nation, drew the condemnation of Charles Dickens, and left a lasting mark on the history of crime and punishment. 0:00 Intro 3:34 The Bermondsey Horror 8:50 The Killer, The Lover & The Husband 19:36 Murder Under The Kitchen Floor 34:35 The Nationwide Manhunt 44:58 The Last Public Hanging of a Husband & Wife Edited by Tim Arstall.
