Episode 53: Constance Kent and The Murder at Road Hill House

Send us a text

Hello and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom!

Today I want to tell you about Constance Kent and the murder of her almost 4 year old half brother Francis Saville Kent.  Trigger warning, today’s story will tell about child murder, please take heed when listening.  

Constance Kent was an English woman whose name became widely known due to her involvement in one of the most notorious criminal cases of the 19th century, often referred to as the “Road Hill House Murder.” Born in 1844, she grew up in a respectable family, but her life became infamous following her involvement in the brutal killing of her half-brother, Francis Saville Kent, in 1860.

Thank you for stopping by our breakfast table.  Please remember to leave us a rating and review anywhere you listen to our show and, as always, may your breakfast be hot and your coffee strong!
