Triple Execution at Newgate | Scotland Yard’s Forgotten Casebook
News of the Times | Episode 573| 1896
In June 1896, a grim crowd gathered outside Newgate Prison for a rare and chilling spectacle: three men hanged side by side, their fates sealed by two of the most brutal murder cases in Victorian London.

This episode dives deep into the shocking crimes that led to that triple execution:

🗝️ Muswell Hill: The savage killing of 79-year-old Henry Smith, a reclusive engineer who wired his garden with explosives and dined at ten.
🔨 Turner Street, Whitechapel: A violent rooftop escape, a double murder, and a criminal so brazen he nearly flattened a child in his flight from justice.

From ingenious burglar alarms and dark lanterns to courtroom betrayals and rooftop plunges, we follow Scotland Yard’s relentless pursuit across counties — and through some of the bloodiest pages of the 1890s press.

📜 Featuring rare newspaper sources, forensics from the dawn of modern policing, and a finale worthy of a gothic novel — this is Victorian crime as you’ve never heard it.
