The Servant Who Shocked London: Sarah Malcolm’s Fatal Crime
News of the Times | Episode 517 | 1733
🕯 Step into the shadowy alleys of Georgian London...
In 1733, a laundress named Sarah Malcolm stood accused of one of the most shocking triple murders the city had ever seen. Was she a cunning killer, a scapegoat, or simply in the wrong place at the worst time?
In this week’s News of the Times, we unravel the chilling case that captivated coffee houses, horrified society — and inspired a portrait by none other than William Hogarth.
Expect:
💀 Bloodstained linens in the Inner Temple
🎨 A final portrait behind prison bars
💰 £300 in silver and scandal
🧵 And a romantic Georgian disaster in the Further Particulars...
Was Sarah Malcolm guilty? Or merely the easiest to blame?
🎧 Featuring the real court records, public outcry, and a bride who dodged disaster faster than you can say “eight children.”
👤 Hosted by Robin Coles
