S02E10 - "The Potton Poisoner" Sarah Dazley

In the season 2 finale of British Murders, I tell the story of Sarah Dazley aka The Potton Poisoner.

Dazley was found guilty of murdering her ex-husband William Dazley in October 1842.

Her weapon of choice was arsenic.

Dazley was also accused of killing her first husband, Simeon Mead, as well as the pair's son, Jonah Mead, however, she wasn't charged with either of those murders.

Dazley was sentenced to death by hanging, with her execution taking place at Bedford Prison on August 5, 1843.
