Episode 24

Ep24. Death by Arsenic

Over an unhonoured grave there used to be, and probably still is, the inscription: “Beneath this stone lies the mortal remains of Mary Ann Burdock, who was executed in this gaol, April 15th 1835, in her 38th year, for the wilful murder (by poison) of Clara Ann Smith of this city.”

Prepare yourself for the true story of a woman's greed and what she'll do for wealth.
