Was Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen, hanged in 1910 for poisoning and dismembering his wife, guilty of the crime?
In 1910, Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen was hanged for poisoning and
dismembering his wife, after he attempted to flee the country with
his young lover. However, investigators have now found that the
human remains discovered in Crippen's cellar were not those of his
wife. Their further DNA work - revealed exclusively in this film -
throws up startling new evidence about what really happened. It
exposes a historic miscarriage of justice and poses uncomfortable
questions about the police and prosecutors, who claimed to have
solved the crime of the century.
