News of the Times - Unlocking the vaults of historical crime

The Murderous Case of the River Packages
News of the Times Episode 371 | 1877
In today’s episode, it is 1877 in a small village in Wales. In the early morning as people begin their day, a hand, with arm attached is found drifting down the river.
As the day progresses, more body parts are discovered. The head is recovered from the river with eyes gouged out and hair cut short. Eventually, most of the parts of a young pregnant woman are pieced together by the local surgeon. The body is so badly mutilated that it can only be identified by close family through the various pieces of clothing still attached to some of the parts.
This horrific crime in a small sleepy hamlet in North Wales made the national papers.
We take a look at the background, the crime, the investigation and the execution of the case of the river packages in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
