Victorian Olympics

The person I chose to do my Kate Webster. Kate Webster was the most hated woman especially a murderer of the Victorian Era. She was known for the killing of Julia Martha. Kate Webster was 30 years old and was not very rich and came from a very shady background as well she had many incidents with the law. Kate Webster was an Ireland woman. Julia Martha hired Kate as a maid to clean her home, not knowing that shortly Kate would kill her. The murder became so famous that it was known as the Richmond Murder. From doing some research it was mentioned that Julia did not care for the way Kate did her job which resulted into the two of them having major issues and it ultimately ended with Kate being fired. Days later Kate killed Julia is such a terrible , nasty way. Kate was drunk the last day on the job which turned into a fight between her and Julia before she was heading out for church and started back once she was back home. Kate pushed Julia down the stairs and chocked her until she died. She then set a pot to boiled and placed of Julia body into it trying to dispose of it as well chopping her up in many small parts, which she threw in the River Thames. The nasty part of this has to be the fact that Kate was selling Julia body fat to people in the streets. She also was acting as she was Julia for at least 2 weeks before anybody noticed anything. With the greed of Kate, is what truly got her caught because she started trying to sell Julia things and that is what caused the suspicion from neighbors.  By that happening Kate ran off back to her hometown until she was caught and forced back to England to faced the music of her crime. The murder became so well known during the Victorian Era because of the fact Kate was the help and Julia was so wealthy and since Kate was a woman which caused the wealthy people of England to be furious. Kate finally admitted to the murder of Julia right before her execution by hanging.
