About this listen

This week we’ll be telling the story of the Murder of Julia Martha Thomas. In 1879 a ghastly crime gripped England, a woman was murdered, mutilated, boiled and thrown in the Thames while her Irish maid assumed her identity and maybe even tried to sell her body fat as “Prime dripping”.
