The Horrifying & Disturbing Historical True Crime Case of Emily Beilby Kaye | England 1924

Описание: This documentary explores one of Britain’s most disturbing historical murder cases: the killing of Emily Beilby Kaye in the spring of 1924, a case that shocked London and the Sussex coast. Set against the backdrop of post-Victorian Britain, this Victorian true crime–style investigation follows Emily Beilby Kaye, an independent working woman living near Russell Square, whose hopes for marriage and a new life were cruelly exploited by Patrick Herbert Mahon, a married man operating under false names.

Through archival records, period photographs, and contemporary reporting, the film traces how deception, financial manipulation, and betrayal led Emily from London to Eastbourne and Pevensey Bay, where events took a fatal turn. The case is examined in detail: Mahon’s aliases, the Officer’s House at Langney Bungalows, the investigation at Waterloo Station, and the forensic and legal methods that defined early twentieth-century British justice.

Blending historical murder case research, social history, and true crime storytelling, this film places the Emily Beilby Kaye case within the wider context of women’s independence, crime, and policing in late-Victorian and early 20th-century Britain.
