I vacation solo all the time- there’s a really freeing feeling and different kind of relaxation one gets when they explore by themselves.

[@sharonpolome3033]

In a way Irene was just ANOTHER victim of WW 1 -- so many young men were killed that many young women never had a chance to get married. Irene probably went to the popular resort in hopes of meeting a nice young man -- it was just her rotten luck to meet this despicable duo. Ironically, she probably felt safer walking with TWO men than she would have with ONE -- particularly since one of them was somewhat older and seemed to have given the impression of respectability. It's a very sad story -- she was so young and trusting, and such a beautiful girl.

I still amazes me how quickly these crimes are brought to Court and the executions carried out. Less than six months from the murder in this case. Whilst where I live (Australia) no longer has the death penalty, it can take two to four years for a case in the County or Supreme Courts to be heard. That partly results from more serious crimes are being solved, suspects charged, etc. I am certain, modern technology helps catch a higher percentage of offenders. But I still think that we need more courts to cater for a growing population. I certainly think we need to get back to six months or less between charging someone and a trial...

For every QC raking in the cash by stringing out a case, there are Court officials, prosecutors, clerks, guards, etc costing the State/Commonwealth to keep the place running. Each murder case has at least half a dozen listed hearings, mentions and filings all strung out over months.

I didn't know young women were already going on holiday by themselves in the 1920s! Of course, times were changing and women could enjoy more freedom after the war, but I was under the impression traveling alone was still a no-no. That poor young lady met a terrible fate on her first, hard-earned vacation!

[@ED80s]

I was thinking the same thing. It seems very unusual in England esp for a young unmarried woman to travel unescorted for a summer vacation. I have a feeling Irene was a feminist and was brave and fought hard during her attack. The men most likely killed her because she was no shrinking violet. I also find it strange that a beach was empty and no witnesses were around at the time of her murder. 330-5 seems like a time when the beach would be crowded still. Such a lovely young brave woman.

You're both adorable. Tonight I had BC propped up on my kitchen counter while I cooked. I mostly listen while I'm having a bubble bath, and getting ready for bed.

[@babyguinguin]

@@caroliner2029 pretty much like my usual schedule. BCs uploads come up just right after I've done the dishes and getting ready to wind down for the day. Today, I cleaned my kitchen earlier so I got the rest of the evening off for myself 😁

[@annmoore6747]

Such a loss and nothing gained at all. It is so difficult to understand what goes through a person's mind that makes it seem like a good idea to take another person's life. Irene seemed like she was just on the verge of beginning her life and was out to find herself. Another interesting story with great detail, well done.

What a sad story! Thank you dear Brief Case 👌

Thankyou for listening

Very sad so young , poor Irene.I truly believe the men killed her for her money.They deserved what they got.

[@ritawing1064]

Ex servicemen...what violence might they have seen in WWI? No help to poor Irene, though, what a waste of a young life.

About to have lunch 😋 with a new bit of Brief Case to boot. Excellent.

Two items not mentioned. The only photo of Irene was that of her in an evening dress. Police created three other photos of her with clothing that was worn when she had been murdered, (which helped witnesses identify her, since she wasn't wearing that evening dress to the beach). Also, a 15-year-old girl was employed to follow these suspects and noted their activities in detail. This helped detectives to identify their movements, their attempt to set up a false alibi, and their criminal behaviour, (including threats to other women). See: The Evesham Standard & West Midland Observer, February 12, 1921.

[@shereerihari2691]

Another excellent presentation. Thank you BC!

Irene was a kind, beautiful, and responsible young lady. It's so sad she was taken so young. She had her whole life ahead of her. Those men got what they deserved. By the way, thank you for putting the link to this one below your other story. It's one I had tried to watch a few days ago, but I had already watched several videos before, and my phone battery was getting low so it wouldn't play this one. I couldn't remember her last name so I couldn't find it again.

[@allisonstephens1837]

One of the good things about the 18th, 19th,and early 20 century they didn't play with the death penalty death was within a few days months of being found guilty..

@@justpassingthru3186 Unfortunately they got it wrong at times and innocent men were hanged.

[@rmonson5002]

@@janetpendlebury6808 Exactly. And if it's such an effective deterrent why do we still have so many people committing violent crimes, specifically rape and murder? It's viscerally satisfying, but is it really serving the intended purpose of stopping more crime in the future? Obviously not when you look at the world we are living in 100 years after Irene's tragic death.

Thank you for this. I travel a lot in my own. Most times with my daughters. Irenes story makes me realize I may not be as aware of my surroundings as I think I am. Though I do watch and listen to my surroundings quite well.

[@oneworldawakening]

Such swift justice seems unbelievable today when a case like this could drag on in the courts for years, at least here in the U.S.

[@Heavens-Humanaterian-Army]

Its strange how people these days commit much bigger more brutal crimes and yet most the time get off lightly.at times I wonder if we should go back to being harsh...as long as it's 100%clere who committed the crime

[@LB1973]

And therein lies the problem Its almost never completely clear and many people that have swung from the gallows or faced lethal injection were innocent. Not these two by the looks of it mind you.

[@wreckastow6575]

Such a tragedy. She was quite beautiful and seemed such a loving daughter as well. May she Rest in Peace.

[@Sorchia56]

Oh, the poor lass and her family! As for the wretches who took Irene’s life, they got what they deserved. Thank you, BC, for another brilliant case. Scotland Yard was fast on this one and did well. The tragedy is that that this still happens. Evil doesn’t go away. Travel in pairs, that’s what we’ve taught our daughters.

Tragic & one of the most brutal murder cases covered very nicely. But it would have been great if you could have covered Miss Nell St. John Montague's involvement in this case. And how she has helped cops to solve the mystery of the murder.

What a sad story. She was so pretty and should have been able to have a nice vacation by herself without having to worry about getting murdered. Also sad that these stories are headline news for a short while and then the victim is forgotten. Glad Brief Case reminded us of Irene, may she rest in peace.

[@maryann7328]

One of the saddest cases you have covered. I greatly enjoy your podcast and the effort and dedication clearly evident in the excellent job you do in covering these crimes from years ago. Thank you they are so very interesting going back in time to a look at the swift justice, wish it was something seen in present day justice
