A monstrous father appalled the nation when it was reported he committed one of the most despicable crimes imaginable, killing his own child. Heartless, Ewan Nash, murdered his daughter, Martha Ann when he flung her off a pier and into the sea in 1885.
The evil widower from Wales had remarried just weeks before the disturbing murder and had not shared the existence of his children with his new spouse. Instead, he decided to kill his daughter in a shocking historical crime that chilled the community, the Mirror reports.
Consequently, Nash was sentenced to death and around 4,000 people came to see him hanged outside Swansea Prison. Many onlookers who gathered to watch his death threw snowballs at the cold blooded father.
