Pimlico’s Deadliest Woman: A Victorian Crime Hidden in Plain Sight

Описание: #londonhistory #truecrimecommunity #genealogy
She was known across Pimlico as a quiet, unremarkable wife—someone no one would ever suspect. But when her husband died under impossible circumstances, London’s newspapers erupted with accusations of poison, deceit, and a crime so subtle that even Victorian detectives struggled to explain it. Behind the polite smiles and gentle manners lurked a woman the public would soon call “Pimlico’s Deadliest.”

This documentary uncovers the chilling truth behind one of Victorian London’s most mysterious women. We piece together the fragments of her life: a troubled marriage, a charismatic pastor who grew too close, and the strange bottle of chloroform that changed everything. Through court transcripts, coroner’s reports, and surviving police notes, we follow how a seemingly ordinary woman became the center of a scandal that shook the nation—yet somehow walked free.

This is a story of hidden danger, Victorian fear of poison, and a justice system easily fooled by charm and silence. A forgotten figure, a deadly secret, and a crime hidden in plain sight.
