In 1840 London was scandalized when Lord William Russell was found dead in bed with his throat cut
In May 1840 London was scandalized by the murder of Lord William Russell, who'd been found in his bed with his throat cut. The evidence seemed to point to an intruder, but suspicion soon fell on Russell's valet. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow the investigation and trial, and the late revelation that decided the case.
We'll also marvel at Ireland's greenery and puzzle over a foiled kidnapping.
