I listen to radio 4 extra a lot, but I don't know if true horrific stores come under entertainment section on here.
But I'd like to share with you a sad and horrific crime of passion and hanging that happened c1922.
You may have read about the hanging of Edith Thompson , who was married but was having a love affair with Frederick Bywaters, and a conspiracy to plan the murder of her husband, which was carried out by Freddy, her lover. But whether she was innocent is still an open verdict, in my mind. It was a very emotional and spellbinding radio adaptation of the story. The acting was award winning and so convincing to me that she was innocent of her husbands murder.
Here is a synopsis of the story.
