In Victorian England, one poisoning case shocked the public and reshaped how murder was prosecuted. Dr. George Henry Lamson—later known as The Wimbledon Poisoner—was a trained physician whose knowledge of toxicology placed him at the center of a mysterious and deadly crime. When a young man died after a sudden illness, investigators uncovered a chilling trail involving aconitine, medical expertise, and calculated deception. This episode explores the true story behind one of Britain’s most infamous poisoners, the forensic evidence that sealed his fate, and how trust in science became a deadly vulnerability.
