- Dr Ruxton was an Indian born physician. He lived a quiet, respectable life in Lancaster but had a violent jealous streak. He had accused his wife of infidelity for years and even drove her to attempt suicide in 1932. But in September 1935 Ruxton’s jealousy got the better of him. He beat, strangled and stabbed his wife to death then did the same to the housemaid who witnessed the killing.
Ruxton dismembered the bodies to remove identification marks and dumped them across the Scottish border. Local police were dumbfounded as to who the bodies were, the press had a field day. However a scrap of newsprint used to wrap the bodies was identified as a publication only available in Lancaster and Morecambe. The police soon honed in on Ruxton and after an eventful trial he was executed at HM Prison Manchester by Albert Pierrepoint.
That last line is so apt, "...a jealous, controlling abuser, who destroyed what he claimed to love.".
I wish shows like this would stop using the phrase jealousy. It's old-fashioned and was never apt. It's all about control and abuse. i doubt these types of men are capable of love.
@@LondonEE16 Ah, my friend, that's what jealousy IS - a desire to keep & control someone or something. It's all about "she/he/it is mine, mine, mine. No one else can have it, & I'll do what I please with what is mine.". In a dysfunctional brain, jealous possession equates to "love"; i.e., "My partner is MINE, & I LOVE what is mine.". A few misfiring neurons later, & the jealous control & abuse begin. Thanks for your reply.
@@LondonEE16 It's an idea to take into consideration.
My favourite episode. Love the actor playing Dr. Ruxton.
Red stains on the carpet, red stains on your knife, oh, Dr Buck Ruxton, you murdered your wife. The nursemaid saw you and threatened to tell, oh, Dr Buck Ruxton, you killed her as well… - (Lancashire nursery rhyme). I will never understand dismemberment murders, they are the most demeaning and vile of all murderous acts...
😀
Lizzie Borden took an axe,
And gave her mother forty whacks,
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty one.
My mother used to say that rhyme, or something similar and we were from the Black Country. So it obviously spread,.
"you are my favourite patient".
How is this going to help you persuade me to do anything?
A jealous controlling abuser...who destroyed what he claimed to love.... those words have rung true since the dawn of time....sadly.
Interesting presenters, fascinating cases, brilliant show, background of the time period an added bonus!
The crime scene is a hotel called The Borrough today.
The main reason I absolutely Love this show is because of the female Criminologist, Judith!!! I swear I could listen to her for hours! Her voice and inflections can mesmerize a person! I think she missed her calling as a Professor. She is Fabulous! As an American, she is what I have always imagined a high bred Lady or Duchess, or the like to be. Very Proper British woman. Love her!!
A professor speaks for a living....if you like the way she speaks??? Then she is in the perfect calling...🤷
ABSOLUTELY 💯
HER MANNERISMS ARE 2ND TO NONE. SHE SPEAKS WITH A STYLE BEFITTING OF A VERY FINE,INTELLIGENT WOMAN.
She's the one person on here I don't like. She has her nose up and thinks she knows more then she does. And yes..she is a speaker more so then criminologist.
Funny, I dislike her way of speaking. Alot. And the way she presents herself. I get the impression a pale toad is talking.
I agree! I love it when she comes on!
Thanks for uploading one of my favourites, so well done and a fascinating look in to past crimes xx
Yup, sometimes seeming favors are traps. The patient who tried to clean up may have not been insensible to all the blood, but instead reluctant to betray a doctor she believed had been kind and helpful.
"It was has if a person had gone down to the Old Grange to commit a murder, only to find that not only was Sherlock Holmes putting in the weekend there but Hercule Poirot as well." ~P. G. Wodehouse 😏
**as if**
Thank you! Love this show!
I just don't like it when they jump to another case in the middle of the first case. Its like somebody changed the channel
love these documentaries
@13:21 dead body blinks. poor actress, wonder how many times she had to do that and they kept that one.
It never gets mentioned, but you have to wonder about the relationship Before he took to dicing and slicing his partners and maids. A mixed race relationship then would not have been easy, even at dr status. Did Isabella know about the abandoned wife? And what was he doing with the children while all this was going on? If they had woken during the murders would he have butchered them too? They said he took them to school, but that is only part of the day. How did he explain mommy and nanny's absence, look after them when they were not asleep or at school? He must have left them alone when he went on his mad trek to Scotland? Or did he get Mrs Hampshire to babysit? That would have added more fuel to the fire. What became of them afterwards?
Busted! Great early Forensic work Scotland.
I feel sorry for the nanny, the children and his wife back in India. She wouldn't have been able to remarry and would have died a lonely woman.
Considering what he's done, I think dhe was better off without him
Pretty good police work for the 1930's.
This isn't unusual. Criminals often try to insert themselves
in a crime investigation. Or in this case, to create an investigation. 🤷
The housekeeper’s potatoes look like criminals themselves…
Why do pathologists choose their profession?
Doctors don't do things like that, don't know where they got that idea.
Actually, there are certain professions in which such crimes occur much less, and others that seem to accumulate psychopaths.
They were referring to the opinions of the time. those days a doctor was like some mythical being and what he said went. I know from the attitude of my own grandparents and parents. I he had told them to paint themselves blue and stand naked in the garden consuming a toad stuffed with strawberry jam, they would have done it. The doctor Always knew best. Even when he didn't.
Hello fellow Viewers. May I ask for any recommendations of crime documentaries like Murder Maps here on RUclips? I just found out about Murder Maps and I love it. Plus it's a bit historical. Anymore crime documentary series you know that I may watch? I watch FBI Files and Deadly Women here on RUclips.
They Got Away With Murder is a really good series. Each episode does leave me fuming, though.
@@bernadettemcinerney7284 thank you! will go check it out now
Cool, a two fer
Rowbotham is a terrible presenter. Totally spoils it for me. I keep expecting her to totally give up on demonstrating form and to turn into some kind of amorphus blob.
