Eps.29 - The Pierrepoint family (Pt. 5) - A legacy of Executioners
Description
This week we share our recent adventures in Cornwall, including a visit to a vegan restaurant called Tiger Feet and the Craft Collective shop. We begin our deep dive into the life and career of executioner Thomas Pierrepoint. We discuss the crimes of John Coulson (murdered his wife and son), Frederick Seddon ( poisoned his lodger) and Robert Rosenthal (executed for treason). The conversation transitions into the chilling murder case of Irene Monroe, exploring the investigation, trial, and the eventual execution of her murderers.
Scottish word of the week: a peculiar pronunciation of 'girl'
Domestic misdemeanour : shopping with Ali! (just conform!!)
