The Potton Poisoner: Part Three

Weird in the Wade
Contains some violent scenes and some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.

Available for over a year

In this final part of the story of Sarah Dazley, the victorian poisoner, we follow the evidence shared at William Dazley's inquest and murder trial. We unpick tricky testimony and tangled timelines in an attempt to decide if Sarah really did it. There's gossip, pills and powders, a dead pig, and a teenage pregnancy all to uncover. We hear a new ghost story shared by a listener this time centred around the Chequers Inn at Wrestlingworth where all of the inquests were held. Does Sarah's restless spirit still haunt the pub? And keep listening for a sneak preview of our next episode about big cats and phantom felines. Have a suggestion, question or want to share a story?
