*A sad reminder of why we do what we do. Not much is known about our victim and her story has been mostly forgotten after all these years, although sadly, domestic violence and spouse on spouse murder continues to happen. Let us remember Lily Griffiths.*
In this episode of 'Hooked on True Crime', we delve into the tragic story of Lily Griffiths, a victim of domestic violence, and her relationship with a Canadian soldier. The conversation explores Lily's life, the abusive dynamics of her relationship, the night of her murder, and the subsequent trial of her partner. The hosts reflect on the societal attitudes towards domestic violence in the 1940s and emphasize the importance of remembering victims like Lily. The episode serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing issues surrounding domestic abuse and the need for awareness and justice. Also, Ali tells us about a semi-related incident of an epic escape from a prisoner of war camp.
