MM#6 Last Woman Hanged

In 1955, Ruth Ellis shot her lover in broad daylight. Three months later, she became the last woman in Britain to be executed.

 

But behind the headlines was a woman already broken.

 

In this episode, we uncover the tragic life of Ruth Ellis (a nightclub hostess turned convicted murderer) whose story was shaped as much by violence and betrayal as by the bullet she fired.

From glamour to scandal, from abuse to execution, Ruth wasn’t just a criminal. She was a victim of love, class, and a justice system with no room for mercy.

 

This isn’t just about a murder.

It’s about how a country turned its back…

and a woman paid the ultimate price.
