A Bristol Murder: Killer Boy

Season: 6 Episode: 2

In a rash moment of teenage bravado, two young lives were changed forever. One ended tragically and the other's life would never be the same again. Listen to the story of 19-year-old William Braund and 14-year-old Alfred Dancey and the event that happened in 1849.

Plus there's two quick news snippets from the papers published at the same time that I thought you might find interesting
