Episode 3: The Murder of Fanny Adams

Fanny Adams was an eight-year-old English girl who was murdered by solicitor's clerk Frederick Baker in Alton, Hampshire, in 1867. The murder itself was extraordinarily brutal and caused a national outcry in the United Kingdom. Fanny was abducted by Baker and taken into a hop garden near her home, where she was brutally murdered and dismembered; some parts were never found. Further investigations suggested that two small knives were used for the murder, but it was later ruled they would have been insufficient to carry out the crime and that another weapon must have been used.
