Mashed Potatoes and Murder: a Deadly Tale from Queensland’s Shadowed Past

From a trial conducted before the Honourable Justice Alfred Lutwyche in 1876, the Queensland Supreme Court Library’s Legal Heritage director uncovers one of colonial Queensland’s most gripping tales of love, betrayal and poison in the section’s first-ever video production chronicling Queensland legal history. 

‘This is a story of deceit, ambition and betrayal – a murder served with a side of mashed potatoes!’ The video duration is about 5 minutes.
