Charlotte Bryant was at the centre of a rural murder case that shocked an English village in 1935. When her husband died after a series of unexplained illnesses in their Dorset cottage, suspicions turned to poison. This true crime episode explores the investigation, the role of arsenic, and the events that led to one of Britain’s most infamous murder trials.
