In 1890 Charles Arthur Charlton came home to find his three children had been murdered.
As he opened the door to his terraced home on Garmoyle Road, close to Smithdown Road he was confronted with his wife Leah lying in a pool of her own blood. Her injuries were so severe the doctors who arrived on the scene didn't think Leah would survive.
Doctors were also to make another chilling discovery when they found the couple's two oldest children upstairs, in separate cots, with their throats cut. Leah in a note confessed to killing her children before turning the knife on herself.
