S07E06 | Henry Gaskin | The Murder of Elizabeth Gaskin

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.
