The Murder of Emma Hunt: Cold Case or Victorian Injustice?
News of the Times | Episode514 | 1896
Step into the shadows of 1893, where a quiet Essex town is shaken to its core by the brutal murder of a respected widow, Emma Hunt. Her body is found in a brook — throat slashed, umbrella shattered, and no weapon in sight. Was it suicide, murder, or something far more sinister?
A teenage boy is arrested. A six-year-old gives chilling testimony. The public is torn. And as the case unfolds, whispers begin to spread — could Jack the Ripper have returned?
In this gripping Victorian true crime case, we explore:
A mysterious death in the Wilderness fields
A panicked suspect… or an innocent teen caught in a storm?
A courtroom drama that leaves more questions than answers
And yes, in our end of episode further particulars segment — reincarnated monarchs, back for financial revenge (because why not?)
✨ As always, we stitch together strange tales from original Victorian newspapers — bringing history’s cold cases back to life.
