Murder, Matrimony & Misfortune: The Curious Case of Mrs Portbury
News of the Times Episode 499 | 1872
In 1871 London, scandal brews as the respectable widow of a beloved doctor, Amelia Muldola, shocks society by marrying her 17-year-old groom, Henry Portbury. What begins as a salacious romance spirals into a Victorian nightmare: theft, kidnapping, and ultimately—matricide.
When Amelia’s fortune vanishes, and her children are taken by the courts, chaos erupts. A courtroom circus, deceitful oaths, and a violent family feud culminate in the death of her mother under deeply suspicious circumstances.
Was it a tragic accident or a calculated killing?
This tangled web of greed, betrayal, and scandal gripped the Victorian press.
And in today's end of episode Further [particulars segment, we have a darkly humorous bonus tale from the gallows that only Georgian / Victorian black comedy could deliver.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
