Victorian Murder Case / The Death of Harriet Staunton - Part 2

Season 9, Ep. 27

PLEASE LISTEN TO ‘SEASON 9 - EPISODE 26’ FOR PART ONE OF THIS TWO-PART CASE. Within 24 hours of moving into a house in Penge, Harriet Staunton was dead. A chance encounter in a post office meant that what could have been recorded as death by natural causes, was listed as a homicide. Harriet Staunton’s husband, his mistress, his brother, and his brother’s wife were accused of starving Harriet to death to prevent the truth from coming out. The prosecution had spent days presenting damning evidence against the defendants, and due to the laws at the time that prohibited the accused from testifying in their own defence, they could only hope that their counsel would save them from the hangman’s noose… (Part 2 of 2).

    Officers from the Cheshire Constabulary stood guard at the rear of a property on Hylton Court in Ellesmere Port. An ominous white tent had been erected covering a section of the garden at the bottom of a terraced house. Specialists congregated in the confined space of a brick outbuilding and methodically began chipping away at layers of cement covering a large object that seemed out of place. After hours of painstaking work, a tightly wrapped sheet of tarpaulin was revealed. Thick elastic circled the plastic, and the ends of the bungee cords hooked together, securing whatever or whoever was inside...*** LISTENER CAUTION IS ADVISED ***   This episode was researched and written by Eileen Macfarlane.Edited by Joel Porter at Dot Dot Dot Productions.Script editing, additional writing, illustrations and production direction by Rosanna FittonNarration, additional audio editing, script editing, and production direction by Benjamin Fitton.To get early ad-free access, including Season 1, sign up for They Walk Among PLUS, available from Patreon or Apple Podcasts.More information and episode references can be found on our website https://theywalkamonguspodcast.comMUSIC: Down To The Wire by Rhythm Scott Road To Nowhere by Caleb Etheridge Asylum by Cody Martin Cain by Cody Martin Dark Night by Cody Martin Every Life Matters by Cody Martin Final Moments by Cody Martin Legend Of Eleven by Cody Martin Seeking Answers by Cody Martin Storms Coming by Cody Martin All That I Have by Moments Distances by Salon Dijon Allied by Wicked Cinema End of the Road by Wicked Cinema No Escape by Wicked Cinema Templar by Wicked Cinema The Last by Wild Wonder SOCIAL MEDIA: https://linktr.ee/TheyWalkAmongUs
