Show Notes
In the sixth episode of season 7, I tell the story of Henry Gaskin.
On February 19, 1919, 27-year-old Henry Gaskin murdered his 25-year-old wife, Elizabeth Gaskin, in a wooded area of Hednesford Hills, later dubbed 'Gaskin's Wood'.
After murdering Elizabeth, Henry dismembered her body and dumped it in a gasholder at Hednesford Gasworks.
On February 23, 1919, a week after the murder, Henry confessed to the police and showed them where he had dumped Elizabeth's body.
He was handed a death sentence on July 4, 1919, and his execution by hanging took place on August 8, 1919.
