Crimes Tales from the Raj
News of the Times Episode 376 | 1873 – 1889
In today’s episode, we are exploring three murder cases from India during the British occupation – otherwise known as the period of the Raj.
Our first case involves a highly respected and well known priest and his activities with a married young girl that leads to murder. The case is remembered to this day.
Our second case is a short story regarding the death of a nine year old bride.
Our third case involves a Prince and the sudden death of his young wife.
As an extra, we have a historic story from Persia recounting the unique form of execution known as gatching from a reporter on the scene. You will never look at arts and crafts the same way again.
Three tales of murder and scandal from the Raj, plus a bit extra, is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
