Episode 10

Death By Chocolate

Unfortunately, I have had a very nasty fall which has resulted in me being in plaster and losing the use of my arm. That coupled with the strong painkillers has made it nearly impossible to do my normal show, but the lovely Nikki Druce at Macabre London has stepped in with one of her shows so that you're not left hanging.

So, on with the show...


Today we take a trip to the charming seaside town of Brighton about an hour and half drive away from London and explore the tale of the chocolate cream murderer, Christiana Edmunds.

Victorian poisoners don't come stranger than this so make sure you stay tuned to find out exactly why this crime of passion hugely back fired and how he narrowly avoided becoming a serial killer, despite trying to be one!

This is another episode of Macabre Mini Mysteries which is part of the Macabre London podcast universe- a combination YouTube and Podcast show! We focus on making true crime documentary and recounting weird tales for London and all over the world!

Hello there! My name is Alice and this is The Backtracker History Show Podcast where I ask you to join me on a meander down through the archives to find out more about the people, places and events from the past.

From tales of pirates and privateers to murderers, tragic accidents to war time escapades, this podcast has it all.
The show is originally aired on Bradley Stoke Radio, in Bristol, England, before being released into the wild in the form of a podcast.

You can show your support by spreading the word about the show, leaving reviews and sharing with all your family and friends. It really does help.

I endeavour to make this podcast completely free with no monthly payment system, but if you would like to make a donation to the show, then pop on over to https://ko-fi.com/backtrackeruk.
