In "The Poison Garden - Death by Design," Lucien Graves explores humanity's most insidious murder weapon: poison. From the Borgias' Renaissance political assassinations to Mary Ann Cotton's Victorian killing spree, poisoners have perfected the art of death without confrontation. This episode examines how these cowardly killers exploit trust, examining cases like Dr. Harold Shipman's medical murders and the recent Novichok attacks. Lucien analyzes the psychology behind choosing poison—the desire for distance, control, and deniability. As forensic science evolves to combat these crimes, new synthetic substances create fresh opportunities for the patient predator. Poison reveals murder's most calculated, methodical face.
