S03E08 - Ann Browning (The Murder of Bill Williamson)

In the eighth episode of British Murders Season 3, I tell the tragic story of Bill Williamson and his killer Ann Browning.⁣
⁣
Bill was 82 when he was murdered by 53-year-old Ann.⁣
⁣
He was convinced by her to sell his home and to move in with her.⁣
⁣
On the same day the house sale was completed, Bill moved in with Ann and was brutally killed by her.⁣
⁣
Ann was sentenced to life imprisonment in August 2011 with a minimum term of 25 years.⁣
