56 | The Strange Murder of Miriam Angel by Israel Lipski
Update: 2024-12-09
Description
In the summer of 1887, Victorian London’s East End, fraught with poverty and unrest, became the setting for a bizarre and senseless true crime. Miriam Angel, an impoverished Jewish immigrant who was six months pregnant, was found poisoned in a locked room, her body lying on the bed. Incredibly, a fellow tenant in the same lodging house, Israel Lipski, was discovered hiding beneath it. The case, with its puzzling lack of motive, divided the public. Lipski’s infamy lingered, with his name even becoming a racial slur—shouted just minutes before Elizabeth Stride’s murder during Jack the Ripper’s reign of terror a year later.
