Murder at Plummers Plain House
News of the Times Episode 488 | 1927
In today’s episode, we journey to 1927 Sussex—where autumn’s quiet beauty masks something far more sinister.

At a peaceful country home, a brutal attack leaves a young woman fighting for her life... and her brother accused of an unthinkable crime.

James Gillon, a gardener from Scotland, allegedly turned on his sister with a knife and razor—over a breakfast dispute and a trip to Brighton. The result? A severed spine... and a family shattered.

What truly happened that morning?
And how did a sibling bond twist into something so violent?

In today's emd of episode “Further Particulars” segment, we are in Hyde Park, 1900—where free speech meets fierce resistance.

A lone clerk preaches on his interpetation of religion at Speakers’ Corner… and nearly pays the price for his words.

Two crimes. Two very different scenes. One haunting thread: when ordinary moments spiral into the extraordinary.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
