3—'The Borden Murders'
Script written by Alwyn Whatsley. Additional material supplied by Lieut.-Commander Rupert T. Gould
Production by John Richmond
This afternoon's programme will tell the story of a mystery that must rank among the greatest in the annals of crime. Who killed Andrew Borden and his wife, an elderly Massachusetts couple, on August 4. 1892 ? They were found, their heads split open by hatchet blows, in a house which contained nobody but their Irish servant and their daughter.
There was apparently no motive for the crime, and to every theory raised at the time and examined thereafter there are insuperable objections. Suspicion eventually fell on the Bordens' daughter, Lizzie, who was, however, a woman of unimpeachable character and an active church worker. Six people, however, saw her within ten minutes of the second murder, but noticed no bloodstains on her clothing, although the room in which it had been committed was a positive shambles.
