After Dark: Myths, Misdeeds & the Paranormal

The Murders That Shocked Georgian London

Laundress-turned-murderess, Sarah Malcolm horrified Georgian London in 1733 when she was found guilty of killing three women she worked for while they slept. For wealthy Georgians this was a nightmare come true: a servant killing the household they served. Sarah became a celebrity killer and was painted by none other than William Hogarth while she sat in jail. Anthony Delaney tells Maddy Pelling this dark history. Written by Anthony Delaney.
