News of the Times Episode 230 | 1822 & 1886
In today’s episode we look at two cases which were “firsts” in their day for murder.
Our first episode takes place in France in 1823. Newly graduated Dr Castaing, with a mistress with expensive social and financial requirements, a household of 5 children and a large outstanding promissory note due, is in severe financial trouble. And then, suddenly and mysteriously, he is not! However, his two rather wealthy best friends have died in rather quick succession whilst in the loving care of Dr Castaing whose great specialty is in the then little-known subject of vegetable poisons…
Our second case from 1886 London sees Adelaide Bartlett in a three-way triangle with the active encouragement of her husband. They have an understanding. But eventually, Adelaide becomes quite attached to one of the men who has been pushed her way and wishes to disengage with her husband who has unexpectedly taken on a mysterious long-term illness. Adelaide’s treatment for his various health issues is chloroform…
Two firsts in medical murder is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
We hope you enjoy the show!
Hosted by Robin Coles.

These two cases of murder involving medical procedures were very sinister and conniving, too. I personally believe that in both cases the perpetrators got away with murder, period! Great investigating, presenting, backstories, illustrations, photos and videos, too. Take care 🦋
Thank you! Using morphone to kill at the itme was a first! And the chloroform too - it is still a mystery how she did it.. Thank you, as always, for your suppport. 🙏

The doctor sounds like a prototype for Shipman. What a strange doctors they were.
Doctors killing patients was considered the breaking of one of the most sacred trusts according to Dickens.
