The French Student Who Tried to Hire a Murderer — or Did He?
News of the Times | Episode 532 | 1876
In this true crime case from 1876, a young French student in Hertford is accused of hiring a drifter to murder his own parents with an air gun. But was Paul Bayart a cold-blooded conspirator—or the victim of a scam by a man with far more ambition than scruples?
📜 Featuring forged notes, poison research, family photographs, and a very dramatic disappearance before trial… this is one of the strangest cases ever to walk the line between parricide and fraud.
👮♂️ PLUS: In our end-of-episode Further Particulars, a drunken Victorian constable punches his sergeant, wrestles three colleagues, and attempts to strike the inspector—all while technically still on duty.
🔍 Highlights:
1876 courtroom drama from Hertford to Roubaix
Blackmail, forgery, and a very questionable £500 note
Bonus tale: “The Drunken Constable of Berkeley Square” (1872)
👤 Narrated by Robin Coles
