Summary

#217 - Eliza Crees and the Honeymoon from Hell. On Wednesday 14th November 1883, William Crees married Eliza Horsman having known each other for just a few weeks. Initially it seemed like they were very much in love, but with William being a man with a few secrets, Eliza should have been worried. But everything would come to a head, just two weeks after their wedding, as William was also harbouring a deadly disease, which would not only take the host, but also the lives of those he (claimed to) love.

Date: Wednesday 14th November 1883 at roughly 10pm
Location: Third Floor, 55 Greek Street, Soho, W1
Victim: 1 (Eliza Horsman/Crees)
Culprit: 1 (William Sellick Crees)
