Britain’s Youngest Killer: Mary Bell
Shownotes
In 1968, Newcastle was shaken by a case almost impossible to comprehend. Mary Bell was just 10 years old when four-year-old Martin Brown and three-year-old Brian Howe were killed.
By the age of 11, Bell had been convicted of both killings, becoming one of the youngest killers in British history. But behind the headlines was an extraordinarily troubled childhood and a case that still raises uncomfortable questions about violence, responsibility and whether a child can truly understand the consequences of their actions.
