In 1881, the safety of the British railway system was shattered by a crime so violent it gripped the entire nation. This documentary follows the tragic fate of Isaac Gold, a retired businessman who boarded a train at London Bridge expecting a routine trip home to Brighton. He had no idea he was being watched by Percy Mapleton, a desperate young man whose failed ambitions had turned into a deadly obsession. When Mapleton attempted a robbery in a first-class carriage, he didn't expect his victim to fight back with such ferocity. The resulting struggle left the carriage covered in blood and ended with a body abandoned in the darkness of a railway tunnel. Absolute Crime is your go-to channel for the best crime documentaries.
