Blood in Buck's Row - Whitechapel Chronicles2
News of the Times Episode 501| 1888
Episode Two: The Murder of Mary Ann Nichols
August 31, 1888 — a woman is found brutally murdered on a quiet East End street. Her name is Mary Ann Nichols, known as Polly, and her death marks a turning point in Whitechapel’s descent into fear.
This episode dives into the chaos that followed Polly’s killing: eerie silences, vanishing cries for help, and a bloodied crime scene that offered more mystery than clarity. Was the killer a lone madman? A ruthless gang? Or something far worse, stalking the gaslit alleys?
Using only newspapers from the time, we uncover the frantic early theories, shifting eyewitness accounts, and the public hysteria surrounding “Leather Apron” and the feared High Rip Gang.
Polly's murder wasn't just a tragedy.
It was a rupture. A warning.
The first real glimpse of what was to come.
And in today’s Further Particulars: a courtroom case with twilight breakfasts, flaming carpets, and one very peculiar gentleman indeed.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
