The Hednesford Ripper | The Murder of Lizzie Gaskin (Historic British True Crime)

When career criminal Henry Thomas Gaskin returned from serving with the Royal Engineers, tunnelling under the trenches of the Western Front during WWI, he was furious to discover his wife’s infidelity. He lured her to a meeting place under the pretence of discussing their marriage, and Lizzie Gaskin was never seen alive again. This true crime case remains one of the West Midlands’ most brutal, yet often forgotten, murders.
