Surprise! We said fortnightly...we changed our minds! Hannah is back this week with a historic case from Southwark where we meet a husband and wife murder duo from the early 1800s!
Meet the Mannings, a delightful pair who perpetuated a crime that became known as the Bermondsey Horror, the cold blooded murder of Patrick O'connor, a wealthy businessman who Mrs Manning took a fancy too, and whom Mr Manning...well just let them get on with it!
Find out more about why Hannah almost got kicked out of a kids swimming competition, what an 'insignificant hurricane' sounds like, and why Charles Dickens got his knickers in a right twist!
