Strangled by a Rejected Love: The 1909 Cornwall Murder of Emily Tredrea | True Crime 1909
News of the Times | Episode 549 | 1909
In this chilling Edwardian murder case from the heart of Cornwall, 16-year-old Emily Tredrea was brutally strangled by a man who refused to be rejected. The year was 1909. The setting: the quiet village of St Erth. The witness? Her 9-year-old brother.
🎙️ Join us as we unravel the tragic story of Emily’s short life, the obsessive courtship that turned deadly, and the trial that stunned a community.
Featuring period newspaper accounts and testimony from the time, this haunting case of betrayal, rumour, and obsession offers a grim reminder of how violence often hides in plain sight.
🕯️ Was there more to the relationship between the lodger and Emily’s mother? What really happened in that small Cornish cottage? And what drove William Hampton to such a violent end?
⚖️ Includes:
• A child’s eyewitness account of the crime
• Full confession from the accused
• Trial at Bodmin Assizes and execution at Bodmin Gaol
• Unconfirmed rumours that may shed new light on motive
☕ So brew a cup, settle in, and join us as we tumble back into the pages of history...
🕵️♀️ Further Particulars
In today’s end-of-episode curiosity: a gallant constable arrests a man for excessive umbrella-flourishing and hat-tipping — all in defence of a lady’s honour. Those were the days, eh?😉
