    I'm glad the father was not convicted, as the evidence was all circumstantial and the motive nonexistant. It is still heartbreaking that the murderer was never brought to justice. Rest in peace, dear little William.

    It seemed as if this whole family was haunted by tragedy. 3 children dead. The mother fallen apart from losing her children, the failed marriage and hard times. The father hampered by both being accused and also by injury from his heroic act. Seemed as if nothing could go right for the family.

      I understand that the father would feel the loss of his child but by his own choice he left the family to live apart from them . The reason why I felt it was a tragedy for the mother is because she had the job of caring for him only to lose him to a murderer . No disrespect was intended

    I don’t think the father did it, honestly. Plenty of witnesses were able to corroborate his alibi and had nothing to gain by lying for him, and similarly there was something to gain by falsely implicating him. Also doesn’t help that “a dark coat, hat and mustache” were identifying features of the killer when everyone and their dog had a dark coat, hat and mustache in this era. I think it was probably a revenge killing for putting the other man away, especially because (thankfully) it doesn’t seem like there was a sexually driven motive to hurt William. I feel for mum, can’t imagine losing all of my children.

    Agnes was charged in 1905 with trying to commit suicide by drinking poison. Apparently upset John had spent the night away and wouldn’t tell her where he’d been, she reportedly said “I’ll do something to make him sorry.” At the time she had a year old baby, it died the following year. John’s Army record shows he was given 3 months hard labour in 1909 and again in 1910 for deserting his wife and child and leaving their support to the Parish. Despite this they were living together on the 1911 census in one room. Poor little lad never stood a chance. I’m still inclined to think he was snatched by a stranger though.

      I just read an article about Titus, John insisted the £50 reward be held by the Post Office and paid to him £1 per week because his wife liked to drink.
      From what you stated I'm suspicious of the mother as she sounds quite immature. If she could consider killing herself to be manipulating, it's not a far stretch to kill someone else for the same ends.

    Good morning or good evening because you’re across the pond but I am in California. It’s always heartbreaking when a child dies because they haven’t had a chance to live life but it’s even harder when they’re killed by someone especially an adult. What’s even worse is when a parent is accused and they actually did it and I’m glad Williams father wasn’t found guilty because witnesses were confused and I believe they were just looking to find anyone and to be honest I really don’t think he did it. Unfortunately we live in a society where people just don’t value human life and will take the life of any age including a child or even a baby. Williams parents lost their children so they lost their world and that you cannot get back. Thank you for another amazing story this one really hit me because I lost my daughter many years ago to a drunk driver. I still call it murder because of the choices that he made when he took her life. Thank you so much for another awesome story and we will look forward to next Monday have a wonderful week
    Bless 🙏🏽🇬🇧🇵🇭

    I think the father could be right about revenge.
    It would be interesting to see more background to the four witnesses who identified him. They may have ked back to the real killer. After all to murder the child and see the father hang for it may have been the plan all along.
    Hope you and Brief Cat are staying out of the weather.
    See you next week guys.

      @victrola2007 Of course, the father suffered too. I'm a woman too, the clue is in my username, so you can please, if you wouldn't mind, calm yourself. There is no retort from me. What happened to the boys father was terrible. You could see the stress and disbelief and grief at what happened in his eyes, in the photo.
      I was merely making a comment and stating that I felt bad for Mrs Starchfield.
      I feel terrible for the father too.

    I can’t believe his poor mother was fined what was probably an insurmountable amount at that time. Just weeks after her little child had been murdered, she must’ve been so despondent and bereft.

    That poor child riding with a hand sticking out in front of him for the his whole train ride. The poor mother. i wonder the reason for such a terrible murder. I guess if they knew why, they'd know who. If the father had not seen the boy in 5 weeks, he could have hired someone to do to hurt the mother. I guess they would have found that out. The prosecutors did an idiotic job with so much evidence for the father's whereabouts. Well told, TY.

    You don't get revenge on someone by murdering an innocent child who has nothing to do with your grievance

      Plenty of mothers and fathers have done just that in custody/divorce battles. Also family annihilators kill their whole families.

    I still cannot abide it when a judge instructs the jury to find a not guilty verdict. Why impanel a jury if the judge can declare the defendant not guilty ? If the jury would conclude the defendant is guilty the judge can always set aside the guilty verdict and declare the defendant innocent.
    An excellent video as usual. Thank you so much for your detailed work in preparing this presentation.
