The Ratcliffe Highway Murders

On December 7th 1811, the Marr family was massacred inside their own home for what seemed like no reason. Terrified at the lack of an apparent motive, locals tried to convince themselves that a vicious foreigner had sailed into the London docks to kill the family and then fled. The Marrs must've had a target on their back and this was an isolated event. Until two weeks later, when another innocent family met the same fate. This is the story of the infamous Ratcliffe Highway Murders and who was responsible for horrifically taking 7 lives.
