In the years following World War II, serial killer John George Haigh committed five perfect murders, using sulphuric acid to dissolve his victims into soup. His sixth murder, however, was hastily done, and led to his arrest, a trial and eventual execution. The case captivated the United Kingdom, especially when Haigh claimed he had drunk a glass of each victim’s blood before disposing of their bodies.
My guest is Gordon Lowe, author of “The Acid Bath Murders: The Trials and Liquidations of John George Haigh”. He walks us through Lowe’s murderous life and eventual death at the hands of one of Britain’s most famous executioners.
