S36 Ep3: Serial Killers in History – The Mad Master of Jamaica
In the 18th century paradise of Jamaica, Lewis Hutchinson, an immigrant from Scotland, became the island's first documented serial killer.
Known as the Mad Master of Edinburgh Castle, Hutchinson's strategic property in Saint Ann Parish became a deathtrap for wealthy travellers. He would invite them into his home or shoot them from his gunports, dispose of their bodies in underground chambers, and proudly display their possessions.
His reign of terror ultimately resulted in a manhunt, arrest, and a sensational trial that exposed the flaws in colonial law enforcement. Hutchinson was sentenced to death in 1773, leaving a dark legacy in Jamaican history.

00:02.058 --> 00:06.363
[SPEAKER_00]: What drives a man from Scottish grace to Caribbean bloodshed?
00:08.405 --> 00:12.670
[SPEAKER_00]: What hunger turns sun-drenched hills into a killing field?
00:14.072 --> 00:18.877
[SPEAKER_00]: And how did he cloak his murderous games in the guise of hospitality?
00:20.058 --> 00:21.420
[SPEAKER_00]: Until it was too late.
00:43.201 --> 00:48.407
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back, friend, to episode three of Serial Killers in History.
00:49.868 --> 00:54.633
[SPEAKER_00]: Last time we wandered the gilded saloons of seventeenth century friends.
00:56.082 --> 01:10.217
[SPEAKER_00]: Today, we scale Jamaica's mist-trotted peaks in seventeen sixty-eight, a land of sugar and suffering, where one man's shadow, which stretch further than any plantation.
01:11.959 --> 01:17.985
[SPEAKER_00]: Imagine the heavy, humid air, thick with cane smoke and distant church bells,
01:19.589 --> 01:34.667
[SPEAKER_00]: Planters wrote past in ornate carriages, enslaved laborers, twilled under whip cracks, and high above, maroon hunters, whispered warnings of a phantom, shot in the dark.
01:36.311 --> 01:38.432
[SPEAKER_00]: never rest at that castle.
01:39.093 --> 01:39.633
[SPEAKER_00]: They murmured.
01:40.594 --> 01:44.096
[SPEAKER_00]: He picks off the living, like fruit or matri.
01:45.877 --> 01:51.901
[SPEAKER_00]: Local spoke of a lone silhouette, atop the battlements under a blood-red moon.
01:53.362 --> 01:55.564
[SPEAKER_00]: An omen, non-deared ignore.
01:57.225 --> 02:05.370
[SPEAKER_00]: Carriages rattled, along winding mountain passes, carrying merchants, travelers, and targets.
02:07.085 --> 02:19.923
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the story of Louis Hutchinson, the mad master of Edinburgh Castle, whose rifle cracks haunted those roads long after his bullets found their mark.
02:22.607 --> 02:30.649
[SPEAKER_01]: In the beautiful paradise of eighteen century Jamaica, where sugar plantations dotted the landscape, and British colonial rule was at its height.
02:31.570 --> 02:35.371
[SPEAKER_01]: A sinister figure emerged who would forever stain the pages of Caribbean history.
02:36.591 --> 02:41.132
[SPEAKER_01]: The year was seventeen sixty-eight, and the island was experiencing an economic boom.
02:41.893 --> 02:49.375
[SPEAKER_01]: wealthy plantation owners merchants and travellers, regularly traversed the winding mountain roads between Spanish town and the northern parishes.
02:50.556 --> 02:54.878
[SPEAKER_01]: Yet a miss this prosperous period, a darkness lurked in the hills of St.
02:54.938 --> 02:55.539
[SPEAKER_01]: Anne Parish.
02:56.299 --> 03:05.105
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the story of Louis Hutchinson, Jamaica's first documented serial killer, known to history as the mad master of Edinburgh Castle.
03:06.106 --> 03:15.332
[SPEAKER_01]: His reign of terror would expose the vulnerabilities of colonial law enforcement and reveal how one man's murderous obsession could grip an entire island with fear.
03:16.493 --> 03:25.140
[SPEAKER_01]: Born in Scotland in the seventeenth-thirties, Louis Hutchinson emerged from a respectable family background that gave no indication of the monster he would become.
03:26.161 --> 03:28.403
[SPEAKER_01]: As a young man, he received a proper education.
03:29.364 --> 03:34.448
[SPEAKER_01]: And like many of his countrymen during the period, saw the British colonies as a land of opportunity.
03:35.589 --> 03:42.415
[SPEAKER_01]: Jamaica, with its booming sugar industry and vast plantations, Beck and Tom Bishop's young men seek in their fortunes.
03:43.887 --> 03:53.850
[SPEAKER_01]: Hutchinson arrived in Jamaica in the mid- seventeenth sixties, armed with letters of introduction and enough capital to establish himself among the island's plan to class.
03:55.070 --> 03:58.591
[SPEAKER_01]: He quickly set his sights on a strategic place of property in St.
03:58.691 --> 04:04.553
[SPEAKER_01]: Anne Parish, situated along the main road that connected Spanish town to the northern coast.
04:05.513 --> 04:14.475
[SPEAKER_01]: The property which he would name Edinburgh Castle in a nod to his Scottish heritage was perfectly positioned atop a hill overlooking the winding mountain road below.
04:15.646 --> 04:19.150
[SPEAKER_01]: The acquisition of Edinburgh Castle proved surprisingly easy for Hutchinson.
04:20.050 --> 04:25.136
[SPEAKER_01]: The previous owner, eager to return to England, sold the property at a favorable price.
04:26.056 --> 04:32.863
[SPEAKER_01]: The estate included a substantial stone house, several outbuildings, and enough land to establish a small plantation.
04:34.084 --> 04:39.410
[SPEAKER_01]: What seemed like a prudent business investment would soon become infamous as Hutchinson's killing ground.
04:40.685 --> 04:47.888
[SPEAKER_01]: The house itself was built in the colonial style, with thick walls and strategic positioning, the offered clear views of approaching travelists.
04:49.149 --> 04:55.412
[SPEAKER_01]: Hutchinson made several modifications to the property, including the addition of numerous gunports disguised as windows.
04:56.092 --> 05:01.015
[SPEAKER_01]: Though at the time, such defensive measures were not uncommon for isolated plantation houses.
05:02.035 --> 05:04.596
[SPEAKER_01]: He also constructed a series of underground chambers.
05:05.597 --> 05:10.259
[SPEAKER_01]: ostensibly for storage, but these would later serve a far more sinister purpose,
05:12.973 --> 05:33.123
[SPEAKER_00]: Settling into plantar society, Henson mastered the art of respectability, hosting opulent suppers beneath crystal chandeliers, laughing easily at candlelit sores, and dispatching enslaved servants to veil every hint of discord.
05:34.904 --> 05:41.927
[SPEAKER_00]: No one guessed that behind Edinburgh Castle's stately stone walls waited a slaughterhouse
05:43.821 --> 05:48.585
[SPEAKER_00]: Travelers ascending that narrow pass caught sight of him on the wide veranda.
05:49.746 --> 05:57.532
[SPEAKER_00]: Top hat in hand, genial smile in place, back ining them, inside for rest and refreshment.
05:58.973 --> 06:02.956
[SPEAKER_00]: But Hutchinson's hospitality, exacted a deadly toll.
06:04.718 --> 06:10.042
[SPEAKER_00]: In the hushed before dawn, the crack of a rifle shot rang sharp as glass.
06:11.573 --> 06:15.314
[SPEAKER_00]: a lone merchant's coach, silenced at the crest of the hill.
06:17.134 --> 06:26.037
[SPEAKER_00]: A newly wet bride felled mid-step, her white gown, spattered with blood before mercy had reached her lips.
06:27.637 --> 06:33.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Those who dared cross his threshold found themselves in a macabre gallery.
06:34.519 --> 06:39.160
[SPEAKER_00]: A woman's silver beaded a reticule, left dangling, from a chair back
06:40.679 --> 06:48.262
[SPEAKER_00]: A groom's monogrammed waistcoat, its buttons still warm, mounted like a grotesque trophy.
06:49.723 --> 06:59.947
[SPEAKER_00]: Hutchinson didn't simply kill, he celebrated, donning their finery, as though each garment were a metal, one in some perverse hunt.
07:01.767 --> 07:06.708
[SPEAKER_00]: And when night cloaked the estate, the underground vaults came alive with horror.
07:08.108 --> 07:11.189
[SPEAKER_00]: Dampstone walls gripped cold moisture.
07:12.369 --> 07:14.869
[SPEAKER_00]: Rats scottled across flented boards.
07:16.150 --> 07:21.711
[SPEAKER_00]: Shackle prisoners whispered pleas that were swallowed by the echo of dripping water.
07:23.491 --> 07:29.752
[SPEAKER_00]: One survivor is co-preferated by slugs, yet his spirit unbroken.
07:31.132 --> 07:42.115
[SPEAKER_00]: Later recalled the low moon of metal on stone as shackles were thrown inside, and the distant hiss of breaths he would never hear again.
07:43.956 --> 07:55.439
[SPEAKER_00]: Slaves, eyes hollow from dread, were forced to haul the bodies to Hutchinson's hole, a yawning sinkhole carved by centuries of secrets,
07:56.948 --> 08:01.193
[SPEAKER_00]: They say the Earth there, still whispered with the weight of unmarked graves.
08:02.575 --> 08:08.362
[SPEAKER_00]: Few who entered those dark faults, ever felt free arrogance their faces, again.
08:10.853 --> 08:14.397
[SPEAKER_01]: As the body count grew, Hutchinson became increasingly brazen.
08:15.338 --> 08:20.645
[SPEAKER_01]: He was sometimes hunt his victims for sport, chasing them and horseback through the surrounding countryside.
08:21.486 --> 08:28.974
[SPEAKER_01]: His pack of fierce hunting dogs would assist in these gruesome pursuits, cornering terrified travelers who had managed to flee the initial ambush.
08:29.915 --> 08:37.520
[SPEAKER_01]: The sounds of these horrific hunts would echo through the mountains, striking fear into the hearts of locals who lived within a shot of Edinburgh Castle.
08:38.521 --> 08:45.886
[SPEAKER_01]: The trophies from his victims began to overflow from his house, and yet Hutchinson showed no signs of slowing his murderous activities.
08:47.148 --> 08:51.854
[SPEAKER_01]: He kept detailed records in a leather-bound book documenting his kills with cold precision.
08:52.815 --> 08:59.643
[SPEAKER_01]: Each entry included descriptions of the victims, their possessions, and sometimes even sketches of their final moments.
09:00.904 --> 09:07.532
[SPEAKER_01]: This journal would later become crucial evidence to his crimes, though the true number of his victims would never be known.
09:09.055 --> 09:15.878
[SPEAKER_01]: As news of disappearances along the mountain road spread throughout Jamaica, a climate affair began to grip the local communities.
09:17.019 --> 09:24.242
[SPEAKER_01]: Travelers who once freely journeyed through the region now spoke and hushed whispers about the mysterious Edinburgh castle and its sinister master.
09:25.653 --> 09:33.278
[SPEAKER_01]: Those who live nearby began taking lengthy detours to avoid passing Hutchinson's property, even if it meant adding days to their journey.
09:34.458 --> 09:46.205
[SPEAKER_01]: Story circulated about the strange sounds that echoed from the castle at night, screams that were quickly silenced, gunshots that rang out at odd hours, and the haunting baying of Hutchinson's hunting dogs.
09:47.226 --> 09:51.429
[SPEAKER_01]: Local taverns became filled with tales from those who came to have narrowly escaped.
09:52.569 --> 09:56.610
[SPEAKER_01]: the mad masters' clutches, each account more terrifying than the last.
09:57.591 --> 10:03.393
[SPEAKER_01]: The colonial community, particularly the wealthy plenters and merchants, found themselves in a difficult position.
10:04.373 --> 10:14.777
[SPEAKER_01]: Many had dined the Edinburgh castle and new Hutchinson socially, making it hard to reconcile the seemingly sophisticated Scottish gentleman with the mounting evidence of his brutality.
10:15.857 --> 10:21.720
[SPEAKER_01]: Some even defended him initially, dismissing the disappearances as the work of marooners all run away slaves.
10:22.520 --> 10:27.482
[SPEAKER_01]: The indigenous and enslaved population had long known to avoid the area around Edinburgh Castle.
10:28.203 --> 10:33.085
[SPEAKER_01]: Their oral histories told of evil spirits, a malevolent forces surrounding the property.
10:33.785 --> 10:38.027
[SPEAKER_01]: Though these warnings were often dismissed by European settlers as mere superstition.
10:38.907 --> 10:44.810
[SPEAKER_01]: In time, even the most skeptical began to acknowledge that there might be truth in these dark tales,
10:47.092 --> 10:55.800
[SPEAKER_00]: By the time Whispers crawled through the Spanish town's humid tobacco warehouses, Lewis Hutchinson had become more phantom than man.
10:57.462 --> 10:59.764
[SPEAKER_00]: Stollholders paused mid-puff.
11:00.725 --> 11:11.995
[SPEAKER_00]: Their leaves trembling in the smoke-laden air, as mothers hushed children with tails of a blood-red moon, casting his silhouette a top Edinburgh castle.
11:13.778 --> 11:25.845
[SPEAKER_00]: lanterns bobbed on empty paths, no keeper and sight, and they set Hutchinson spoke to shadows, sealing packs with devils in the dead of night.
11:27.686 --> 11:30.648
[SPEAKER_00]: Market women shivered as they stacked their fruits.
11:31.828 --> 11:39.633
[SPEAKER_00]: If you linger past dusk in those hills, they warned, the mad master will spear at you away, in his feyeton
11:41.307 --> 11:44.589
[SPEAKER_00]: No child dared stray from home after sunset.
11:45.830 --> 11:49.192
[SPEAKER_00]: No traveling merchant dared brave the winding pass.
11:50.793 --> 11:57.076
[SPEAKER_00]: Yet colonial magistrates embroiled in a planter politics and short on manpower.
11:58.297 --> 11:59.418
[SPEAKER_00]: Looked the other way.
12:01.233 --> 12:08.799
[SPEAKER_00]: That is until John calendar, a respected Kingston merchant, staggered into town at dawn.
12:10.040 --> 12:14.624
[SPEAKER_00]: His coat was riddled with slugs, his breath came and ragged gasps.
12:15.905 --> 12:25.172
[SPEAKER_00]: He spoke of gunshots, shattering the night, and of Hutchinson's mocking laughter, as bullets carved past through his collar.
12:26.833 --> 12:29.215
[SPEAKER_00]: That morning, complacency shattered
12:30.647 --> 12:38.130
[SPEAKER_00]: a militia patrol plunged into the undergrowth and found thigh bones bleached white like cattle remains.
12:39.811 --> 12:43.112
[SPEAKER_00]: Even the local surgeon's knife confirmed they were human.
12:44.913 --> 12:58.318
[SPEAKER_00]: Under the low roofs of Spanish towns, ledger halls, clerks unearthed sales records, saddle blankets, lockets, silver spoons, all traced back to missing travelers
13:00.394 --> 13:02.656
[SPEAKER_00]: and then came word of the trophy case.
13:03.936 --> 13:10.421
[SPEAKER_00]: In Hutchinson's Great Hall, a widow silk bonnet, hung beside a soldier's brass buttons.
13:12.162 --> 13:15.764
[SPEAKER_00]: Each item, a silent testament to lives extinguished.
13:17.266 --> 13:28.233
[SPEAKER_00]: He dawned their finaly, like a mad monarch, and paraded through society balls, playing gracious host to the very families he had orphaned.
13:30.100 --> 13:33.607
[SPEAKER_00]: At last, Jamaica's terror found its reckoning.
13:35.129 --> 13:39.217
[SPEAKER_00]: The hunt for the island's first serial killer was on.
13:41.451 --> 13:45.815
[SPEAKER_01]: As evidence mounted, Governor Sir William Triloni himself ordered a manhunt.
13:47.036 --> 13:51.980
[SPEAKER_01]: The colonial militia was mobilised and a substantial award was offered for Hutchinson's capture.
13:52.761 --> 13:54.923
[SPEAKER_01]: The mad master however proved elusive.
13:55.623 --> 14:01.989
[SPEAKER_01]: His intimate knowledge of the mountain paths and the strategic position of Edinburgh Castle made him a difficult target.
14:02.849 --> 14:06.532
[SPEAKER_01]: He had established multiple escape routes and hiding places throughout the region.
14:07.573 --> 14:14.020
[SPEAKER_01]: The man-hunting intensified when several militiamen discovered a cave near Edinburgh Castle containing decomposing bodies.
14:15.381 --> 14:19.245
[SPEAKER_01]: This grim discovery eliminated any remaining doubt about Hutchinson's guilt.
14:20.366 --> 14:25.972
[SPEAKER_01]: The governor declared him an enemy of the colony, and authorised the use of all necessary forced apprehend him.
14:27.345 --> 14:34.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Hutchinson responded to the increasing pressure with even more brazen attacks, seemingly enjoying the challenge of evading capture.
14:35.307 --> 14:41.649
[SPEAKER_01]: He began sending taunting messages to the authorities, boasting about his crimes and mocking their efforts to catch him.
14:42.630 --> 14:50.032
[SPEAKER_01]: His actions became more reckless as if he was deliberately drawing attention to his activities, perhaps relishing his growing notoriety.
14:51.313 --> 14:57.242
[SPEAKER_01]: After weeks of pursuit, Lewis Hutchinson's reign of terror finally came to an end at Port Royal Harbor.
14:58.464 --> 15:02.250
[SPEAKER_01]: In a twist of fate, he was spotted attempting to board a ship around for Scotland.
15:02.991 --> 15:06.437
[SPEAKER_01]: Perhaps finally sensing that his position in Jamaica had become untenable.
15:07.740 --> 15:14.122
[SPEAKER_01]: The portal authorities recognised him from the description that they had been given, and apprehended him before he could escape the island.
15:15.182 --> 15:21.504
[SPEAKER_01]: During his arrest, Hutchinson maintained an unsettling air of calm, even appearing amused by the proceedings.
15:22.384 --> 15:28.626
[SPEAKER_01]: He was found carrying several pieces of jewelry and personal facts that were later be identified as belonging to his victims.
15:29.826 --> 15:36.768
[SPEAKER_01]: The authorities also discovered a detailed diary in his possession containing cryptic entries that appeared to reference his crimes.
15:39.097 --> 15:48.859
[SPEAKER_00]: The courthouse doors, roamed on their hinges before dawn, and by sunrise, every bench and chair was claimed.
15:50.600 --> 15:55.041
[SPEAKER_00]: Merchant's wives clutched lace hanker chips, their knuckles white.
15:56.401 --> 16:08.924
[SPEAKER_00]: Planters fanned themselves with guilt fans, sweat beating on their brows, and the stifling June heat, and all eyes remained locked on Louis Hutchinson
16:10.235 --> 16:12.995
[SPEAKER_00]: tall, immaculate, and linen and silk.
16:13.916 --> 16:20.877
[SPEAKER_00]: The mad master himself reclining in the defendant's box with that familiar and settling smirk.
16:22.537 --> 16:39.320
[SPEAKER_00]: Prosecutors struck first, like cannon fire, John calendar, pale, trembling, voice raw, recounted the echo of rifle cracks under the moonless skies, and the cruel laughter that followed each shot
16:40.778 --> 16:42.799
[SPEAKER_00]: Thirty witnesses then to the stand.
16:43.980 --> 16:55.146
[SPEAKER_00]: A widow, naming her silver spoons, a captain identifying his monogrammed waistcoat, a governess confirming a woman's silk ridicule.
16:56.867 --> 17:03.050
[SPEAKER_00]: Finally, the bleached bones exhumed from Hutchinson's cave were laid before the court.
17:04.497 --> 17:05.378
[SPEAKER_00]: a hush fell.
17:06.579 --> 17:13.884
[SPEAKER_00]: Hutchinson leaned back, eyelids drooping, and let a low chuckle rip off through the hall.
17:15.365 --> 17:19.448
[SPEAKER_00]: When pressed about the remains, he shrugged one elegant shoulder.
17:20.648 --> 17:23.931
[SPEAKER_00]: Travelers should be more careful, where they choose to rest.
17:24.691 --> 17:25.212
[SPEAKER_00]: He drooled.
17:26.833 --> 17:28.854
[SPEAKER_00]: Pins scratched across parchment.
17:29.915 --> 17:33.858
[SPEAKER_00]: Gasp's and stifled sobs, punctuated the silence.
17:35.572 --> 17:38.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Four days later, the formance voice rang out.
17:41.175 --> 17:45.898
[SPEAKER_00]: A judge, a stern man in wig and gown, banged his gavel.
17:47.659 --> 17:50.340
[SPEAKER_00]: Andown.
17:51.561 --> 17:53.842
[SPEAKER_00]: His voice echoing off the stone walls.
17:55.864 --> 17:57.985
[SPEAKER_00]: A tensioned smirk never slipped.
17:59.163 --> 18:01.465
[SPEAKER_00]: in the dim cells of Spanish town jail.
18:02.466 --> 18:06.389
[SPEAKER_00]: He refused all visitors and refused all confession.
18:08.191 --> 18:10.973
[SPEAKER_00]: It's silent, a final act of defiance.
18:12.294 --> 18:17.739
[SPEAKER_00]: Guards later swore they heard him chuckle, as the news was buckled into place.
18:19.100 --> 18:26.506
[SPEAKER_00]: That last laugh, the chilling overture, the gallows, and a fitting coat to a rain of terror
18:29.248 --> 18:38.302
[SPEAKER_01]: The gruesome legacy of Lewis Hutchinson, Jamaica's first recorded serial killer, continues to cast a dark shadow over the island's colonial history.
18:39.497 --> 18:43.999
[SPEAKER_01]: Edinburgh Castle, once the sight of his heinous crimes, now stands in ruins.
18:44.680 --> 18:48.002
[SPEAKER_01]: Its crumbling walls are testament to the darkness that wants to weld there.
18:49.082 --> 18:59.128
[SPEAKER_01]: Local residents still speak in harsh tones about the mad master's reign of terror, and the stories of his victims have become deeply woven into Jamaican folklore.
19:00.208 --> 19:04.794
[SPEAKER_01]: The impact of Hutchinson's crimes extended far beyond the immediate horror of his actions.
19:05.896 --> 19:11.303
[SPEAKER_01]: His case marked a significant turning point in colonial law enforcement throughout the British Caribbean.
19:12.718 --> 19:23.225
[SPEAKER_01]: The authorities' initial reluctance to investigate the disappearance of travelers, particularly those of lower social standing, highlighted glaring inadequacies in the colonial justice system.
19:24.126 --> 19:35.133
[SPEAKER_01]: In response, new protocols were established, investigating missing persons cases, and greater emphasis was placed on coordinating law enforcement's efforts across parish boundaries.
19:36.163 --> 19:39.366
[SPEAKER_01]: Today, Edinburgh Castle remains a place of Macaub fascination.
19:40.106 --> 19:42.048
[SPEAKER_01]: The ruins located in the hills of St.
19:42.168 --> 19:46.191
[SPEAKER_01]: Anne Parish, attract curious visitors despite their remote location.
19:46.832 --> 19:57.721
[SPEAKER_01]: The cave where Hutchinson allegedly disposed of his victims' remains has become the subject of numerous local legends, with some claiming to hear screened echoing from its depth on moonless nights.
19:59.022 --> 20:06.592
[SPEAKER_01]: While these tales may be more fiction than fact, they speak to the enduring impact of Hutchinson's crimes on the collective memory of Jamaica.
20:08.085 --> 20:18.653
[SPEAKER_01]: The mad master's case also serves as a chilling reminder of how a person of means and social standing could for a time literally get away with murder in colonial society.
20:19.634 --> 20:29.282
[SPEAKER_01]: His ability to continue his killing spree for so long, despite mounting suspicions, expose the deep rooted inequalities and prejudices of the colonial system.
20:30.483 --> 20:37.088
[SPEAKER_01]: This legacy has contributed to ongoing discussions about justice, privilege, and accountability in Jamaican society.
20:38.882 --> 20:44.084
[SPEAKER_00]: For Lewis Hutchinson, murder wasn't a tool or a means to an end.
20:46.065 --> 20:48.066
[SPEAKER_00]: Murder was the end itself.
20:49.367 --> 20:53.849
[SPEAKER_00]: A twisted ritual performed beneath the mask of civility.
20:55.809 --> 21:00.151
[SPEAKER_00]: You've been listening to foul play, serial killers in history.
21:01.772 --> 21:04.273
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for joining me on this dark journey.
21:05.293 --> 21:08.615
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember, evil wares many faces
21:10.430 --> 21:15.553
[SPEAKER_00]: Next time we cross the Atlantic to Portugal in seventeenth-seventy-two.
21:16.794 --> 21:25.920
[SPEAKER_00]: Where a young girl named Luis de Dajezus spawned a lullaby of innocence over atrocities so unfathomable.
21:26.720 --> 21:35.946
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll challenge everything you think you know about justice and reveal the darkness lurking in the most unlikely parts.
00:02.058 --> 00:06.363
[SPEAKER_00]: What drives a man from Scottish grace to Caribbean bloodshed?
00:08.405 --> 00:12.670
[SPEAKER_00]: What hunger turns sun-drenched hills into a killing field?
00:14.072 --> 00:18.877
[SPEAKER_00]: And how did he cloak his murderous games in the guise of hospitality?
00:20.058 --> 00:21.420
[SPEAKER_00]: Until it was too late.
00:43.201 --> 00:48.407
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back, friend, to episode three of Serial Killers in History.
00:49.868 --> 00:54.633
[SPEAKER_00]: Last time we wandered the gilded saloons of seventeenth century friends.
00:56.082 --> 01:10.217
[SPEAKER_00]: Today, we scale Jamaica's mist-trotted peaks in seventeen sixty-eight, a land of sugar and suffering, where one man's shadow, which stretch further than any plantation.
01:11.959 --> 01:17.985
[SPEAKER_00]: Imagine the heavy, humid air, thick with cane smoke and distant church bells,
01:19.589 --> 01:34.667
[SPEAKER_00]: Planters wrote past in ornate carriages, enslaved laborers, twilled under whip cracks, and high above, maroon hunters, whispered warnings of a phantom, shot in the dark.
01:36.311 --> 01:38.432
[SPEAKER_00]: never rest at that castle.
01:39.093 --> 01:39.633
[SPEAKER_00]: They murmured.
01:40.594 --> 01:44.096
[SPEAKER_00]: He picks off the living, like fruit or matri.
01:45.877 --> 01:51.901
[SPEAKER_00]: Local spoke of a lone silhouette, atop the battlements under a blood-red moon.
01:53.362 --> 01:55.564
[SPEAKER_00]: An omen, non-deared ignore.
01:57.225 --> 02:05.370
[SPEAKER_00]: Carriages rattled, along winding mountain passes, carrying merchants, travelers, and targets.
02:07.085 --> 02:19.923
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the story of Louis Hutchinson, the mad master of Edinburgh Castle, whose rifle cracks haunted those roads long after his bullets found their mark.
02:22.607 --> 02:30.649
[SPEAKER_01]: In the beautiful paradise of eighteen century Jamaica, where sugar plantations dotted the landscape, and British colonial rule was at its height.
02:31.570 --> 02:35.371
[SPEAKER_01]: A sinister figure emerged who would forever stain the pages of Caribbean history.
02:36.591 --> 02:41.132
[SPEAKER_01]: The year was seventeen sixty-eight, and the island was experiencing an economic boom.
02:41.893 --> 02:49.375
[SPEAKER_01]: wealthy plantation owners merchants and travellers, regularly traversed the winding mountain roads between Spanish town and the northern parishes.
02:50.556 --> 02:54.878
[SPEAKER_01]: Yet a miss this prosperous period, a darkness lurked in the hills of St.
02:54.938 --> 02:55.539
[SPEAKER_01]: Anne Parish.
02:56.299 --> 03:05.105
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the story of Louis Hutchinson, Jamaica's first documented serial killer, known to history as the mad master of Edinburgh Castle.
03:06.106 --> 03:15.332
[SPEAKER_01]: His reign of terror would expose the vulnerabilities of colonial law enforcement and reveal how one man's murderous obsession could grip an entire island with fear.
03:16.493 --> 03:25.140
[SPEAKER_01]: Born in Scotland in the seventeenth-thirties, Louis Hutchinson emerged from a respectable family background that gave no indication of the monster he would become.
03:26.161 --> 03:28.403
[SPEAKER_01]: As a young man, he received a proper education.
03:29.364 --> 03:34.448
[SPEAKER_01]: And like many of his countrymen during the period, saw the British colonies as a land of opportunity.
03:35.589 --> 03:42.415
[SPEAKER_01]: Jamaica, with its booming sugar industry and vast plantations, Beck and Tom Bishop's young men seek in their fortunes.
03:43.887 --> 03:53.850
[SPEAKER_01]: Hutchinson arrived in Jamaica in the mid- seventeenth sixties, armed with letters of introduction and enough capital to establish himself among the island's plan to class.
03:55.070 --> 03:58.591
[SPEAKER_01]: He quickly set his sights on a strategic place of property in St.
03:58.691 --> 04:04.553
[SPEAKER_01]: Anne Parish, situated along the main road that connected Spanish town to the northern coast.
04:05.513 --> 04:14.475
[SPEAKER_01]: The property which he would name Edinburgh Castle in a nod to his Scottish heritage was perfectly positioned atop a hill overlooking the winding mountain road below.
04:15.646 --> 04:19.150
[SPEAKER_01]: The acquisition of Edinburgh Castle proved surprisingly easy for Hutchinson.
04:20.050 --> 04:25.136
[SPEAKER_01]: The previous owner, eager to return to England, sold the property at a favorable price.
04:26.056 --> 04:32.863
[SPEAKER_01]: The estate included a substantial stone house, several outbuildings, and enough land to establish a small plantation.
04:34.084 --> 04:39.410
[SPEAKER_01]: What seemed like a prudent business investment would soon become infamous as Hutchinson's killing ground.
04:40.685 --> 04:47.888
[SPEAKER_01]: The house itself was built in the colonial style, with thick walls and strategic positioning, the offered clear views of approaching travelists.
04:49.149 --> 04:55.412
[SPEAKER_01]: Hutchinson made several modifications to the property, including the addition of numerous gunports disguised as windows.
04:56.092 --> 05:01.015
[SPEAKER_01]: Though at the time, such defensive measures were not uncommon for isolated plantation houses.
05:02.035 --> 05:04.596
[SPEAKER_01]: He also constructed a series of underground chambers.
05:05.597 --> 05:10.259
[SPEAKER_01]: ostensibly for storage, but these would later serve a far more sinister purpose,
05:12.973 --> 05:33.123
[SPEAKER_00]: Settling into plantar society, Henson mastered the art of respectability, hosting opulent suppers beneath crystal chandeliers, laughing easily at candlelit sores, and dispatching enslaved servants to veil every hint of discord.
05:34.904 --> 05:41.927
[SPEAKER_00]: No one guessed that behind Edinburgh Castle's stately stone walls waited a slaughterhouse
05:43.821 --> 05:48.585
[SPEAKER_00]: Travelers ascending that narrow pass caught sight of him on the wide veranda.
05:49.746 --> 05:57.532
[SPEAKER_00]: Top hat in hand, genial smile in place, back ining them, inside for rest and refreshment.
05:58.973 --> 06:02.956
[SPEAKER_00]: But Hutchinson's hospitality, exacted a deadly toll.
06:04.718 --> 06:10.042
[SPEAKER_00]: In the hushed before dawn, the crack of a rifle shot rang sharp as glass.
06:11.573 --> 06:15.314
[SPEAKER_00]: a lone merchant's coach, silenced at the crest of the hill.
06:17.134 --> 06:26.037
[SPEAKER_00]: A newly wet bride felled mid-step, her white gown, spattered with blood before mercy had reached her lips.
06:27.637 --> 06:33.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Those who dared cross his threshold found themselves in a macabre gallery.
06:34.519 --> 06:39.160
[SPEAKER_00]: A woman's silver beaded a reticule, left dangling, from a chair back
06:40.679 --> 06:48.262
[SPEAKER_00]: A groom's monogrammed waistcoat, its buttons still warm, mounted like a grotesque trophy.
06:49.723 --> 06:59.947
[SPEAKER_00]: Hutchinson didn't simply kill, he celebrated, donning their finery, as though each garment were a metal, one in some perverse hunt.
07:01.767 --> 07:06.708
[SPEAKER_00]: And when night cloaked the estate, the underground vaults came alive with horror.
07:08.108 --> 07:11.189
[SPEAKER_00]: Dampstone walls gripped cold moisture.
07:12.369 --> 07:14.869
[SPEAKER_00]: Rats scottled across flented boards.
07:16.150 --> 07:21.711
[SPEAKER_00]: Shackle prisoners whispered pleas that were swallowed by the echo of dripping water.
07:23.491 --> 07:29.752
[SPEAKER_00]: One survivor is co-preferated by slugs, yet his spirit unbroken.
07:31.132 --> 07:42.115
[SPEAKER_00]: Later recalled the low moon of metal on stone as shackles were thrown inside, and the distant hiss of breaths he would never hear again.
07:43.956 --> 07:55.439
[SPEAKER_00]: Slaves, eyes hollow from dread, were forced to haul the bodies to Hutchinson's hole, a yawning sinkhole carved by centuries of secrets,
07:56.948 --> 08:01.193
[SPEAKER_00]: They say the Earth there, still whispered with the weight of unmarked graves.
08:02.575 --> 08:08.362
[SPEAKER_00]: Few who entered those dark faults, ever felt free arrogance their faces, again.
08:10.853 --> 08:14.397
[SPEAKER_01]: As the body count grew, Hutchinson became increasingly brazen.
08:15.338 --> 08:20.645
[SPEAKER_01]: He was sometimes hunt his victims for sport, chasing them and horseback through the surrounding countryside.
08:21.486 --> 08:28.974
[SPEAKER_01]: His pack of fierce hunting dogs would assist in these gruesome pursuits, cornering terrified travelers who had managed to flee the initial ambush.
08:29.915 --> 08:37.520
[SPEAKER_01]: The sounds of these horrific hunts would echo through the mountains, striking fear into the hearts of locals who lived within a shot of Edinburgh Castle.
08:38.521 --> 08:45.886
[SPEAKER_01]: The trophies from his victims began to overflow from his house, and yet Hutchinson showed no signs of slowing his murderous activities.
08:47.148 --> 08:51.854
[SPEAKER_01]: He kept detailed records in a leather-bound book documenting his kills with cold precision.
08:52.815 --> 08:59.643
[SPEAKER_01]: Each entry included descriptions of the victims, their possessions, and sometimes even sketches of their final moments.
09:00.904 --> 09:07.532
[SPEAKER_01]: This journal would later become crucial evidence to his crimes, though the true number of his victims would never be known.
09:09.055 --> 09:15.878
[SPEAKER_01]: As news of disappearances along the mountain road spread throughout Jamaica, a climate affair began to grip the local communities.
09:17.019 --> 09:24.242
[SPEAKER_01]: Travelers who once freely journeyed through the region now spoke and hushed whispers about the mysterious Edinburgh castle and its sinister master.
09:25.653 --> 09:33.278
[SPEAKER_01]: Those who live nearby began taking lengthy detours to avoid passing Hutchinson's property, even if it meant adding days to their journey.
09:34.458 --> 09:46.205
[SPEAKER_01]: Story circulated about the strange sounds that echoed from the castle at night, screams that were quickly silenced, gunshots that rang out at odd hours, and the haunting baying of Hutchinson's hunting dogs.
09:47.226 --> 09:51.429
[SPEAKER_01]: Local taverns became filled with tales from those who came to have narrowly escaped.
09:52.569 --> 09:56.610
[SPEAKER_01]: the mad masters' clutches, each account more terrifying than the last.
09:57.591 --> 10:03.393
[SPEAKER_01]: The colonial community, particularly the wealthy plenters and merchants, found themselves in a difficult position.
10:04.373 --> 10:14.777
[SPEAKER_01]: Many had dined the Edinburgh castle and new Hutchinson socially, making it hard to reconcile the seemingly sophisticated Scottish gentleman with the mounting evidence of his brutality.
10:15.857 --> 10:21.720
[SPEAKER_01]: Some even defended him initially, dismissing the disappearances as the work of marooners all run away slaves.
10:22.520 --> 10:27.482
[SPEAKER_01]: The indigenous and enslaved population had long known to avoid the area around Edinburgh Castle.
10:28.203 --> 10:33.085
[SPEAKER_01]: Their oral histories told of evil spirits, a malevolent forces surrounding the property.
10:33.785 --> 10:38.027
[SPEAKER_01]: Though these warnings were often dismissed by European settlers as mere superstition.
10:38.907 --> 10:44.810
[SPEAKER_01]: In time, even the most skeptical began to acknowledge that there might be truth in these dark tales,
10:47.092 --> 10:55.800
[SPEAKER_00]: By the time Whispers crawled through the Spanish town's humid tobacco warehouses, Lewis Hutchinson had become more phantom than man.
10:57.462 --> 10:59.764
[SPEAKER_00]: Stollholders paused mid-puff.
11:00.725 --> 11:11.995
[SPEAKER_00]: Their leaves trembling in the smoke-laden air, as mothers hushed children with tails of a blood-red moon, casting his silhouette a top Edinburgh castle.
11:13.778 --> 11:25.845
[SPEAKER_00]: lanterns bobbed on empty paths, no keeper and sight, and they set Hutchinson spoke to shadows, sealing packs with devils in the dead of night.
11:27.686 --> 11:30.648
[SPEAKER_00]: Market women shivered as they stacked their fruits.
11:31.828 --> 11:39.633
[SPEAKER_00]: If you linger past dusk in those hills, they warned, the mad master will spear at you away, in his feyeton
11:41.307 --> 11:44.589
[SPEAKER_00]: No child dared stray from home after sunset.
11:45.830 --> 11:49.192
[SPEAKER_00]: No traveling merchant dared brave the winding pass.
11:50.793 --> 11:57.076
[SPEAKER_00]: Yet colonial magistrates embroiled in a planter politics and short on manpower.
11:58.297 --> 11:59.418
[SPEAKER_00]: Looked the other way.
12:01.233 --> 12:08.799
[SPEAKER_00]: That is until John calendar, a respected Kingston merchant, staggered into town at dawn.
12:10.040 --> 12:14.624
[SPEAKER_00]: His coat was riddled with slugs, his breath came and ragged gasps.
12:15.905 --> 12:25.172
[SPEAKER_00]: He spoke of gunshots, shattering the night, and of Hutchinson's mocking laughter, as bullets carved past through his collar.
12:26.833 --> 12:29.215
[SPEAKER_00]: That morning, complacency shattered
12:30.647 --> 12:38.130
[SPEAKER_00]: a militia patrol plunged into the undergrowth and found thigh bones bleached white like cattle remains.
12:39.811 --> 12:43.112
[SPEAKER_00]: Even the local surgeon's knife confirmed they were human.
12:44.913 --> 12:58.318
[SPEAKER_00]: Under the low roofs of Spanish towns, ledger halls, clerks unearthed sales records, saddle blankets, lockets, silver spoons, all traced back to missing travelers
13:00.394 --> 13:02.656
[SPEAKER_00]: and then came word of the trophy case.
13:03.936 --> 13:10.421
[SPEAKER_00]: In Hutchinson's Great Hall, a widow silk bonnet, hung beside a soldier's brass buttons.
13:12.162 --> 13:15.764
[SPEAKER_00]: Each item, a silent testament to lives extinguished.
13:17.266 --> 13:28.233
[SPEAKER_00]: He dawned their finaly, like a mad monarch, and paraded through society balls, playing gracious host to the very families he had orphaned.
13:30.100 --> 13:33.607
[SPEAKER_00]: At last, Jamaica's terror found its reckoning.
13:35.129 --> 13:39.217
[SPEAKER_00]: The hunt for the island's first serial killer was on.
13:41.451 --> 13:45.815
[SPEAKER_01]: As evidence mounted, Governor Sir William Triloni himself ordered a manhunt.
13:47.036 --> 13:51.980
[SPEAKER_01]: The colonial militia was mobilised and a substantial award was offered for Hutchinson's capture.
13:52.761 --> 13:54.923
[SPEAKER_01]: The mad master however proved elusive.
13:55.623 --> 14:01.989
[SPEAKER_01]: His intimate knowledge of the mountain paths and the strategic position of Edinburgh Castle made him a difficult target.
14:02.849 --> 14:06.532
[SPEAKER_01]: He had established multiple escape routes and hiding places throughout the region.
14:07.573 --> 14:14.020
[SPEAKER_01]: The man-hunting intensified when several militiamen discovered a cave near Edinburgh Castle containing decomposing bodies.
14:15.381 --> 14:19.245
[SPEAKER_01]: This grim discovery eliminated any remaining doubt about Hutchinson's guilt.
14:20.366 --> 14:25.972
[SPEAKER_01]: The governor declared him an enemy of the colony, and authorised the use of all necessary forced apprehend him.
14:27.345 --> 14:34.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Hutchinson responded to the increasing pressure with even more brazen attacks, seemingly enjoying the challenge of evading capture.
14:35.307 --> 14:41.649
[SPEAKER_01]: He began sending taunting messages to the authorities, boasting about his crimes and mocking their efforts to catch him.
14:42.630 --> 14:50.032
[SPEAKER_01]: His actions became more reckless as if he was deliberately drawing attention to his activities, perhaps relishing his growing notoriety.
14:51.313 --> 14:57.242
[SPEAKER_01]: After weeks of pursuit, Lewis Hutchinson's reign of terror finally came to an end at Port Royal Harbor.
14:58.464 --> 15:02.250
[SPEAKER_01]: In a twist of fate, he was spotted attempting to board a ship around for Scotland.
15:02.991 --> 15:06.437
[SPEAKER_01]: Perhaps finally sensing that his position in Jamaica had become untenable.
15:07.740 --> 15:14.122
[SPEAKER_01]: The portal authorities recognised him from the description that they had been given, and apprehended him before he could escape the island.
15:15.182 --> 15:21.504
[SPEAKER_01]: During his arrest, Hutchinson maintained an unsettling air of calm, even appearing amused by the proceedings.
15:22.384 --> 15:28.626
[SPEAKER_01]: He was found carrying several pieces of jewelry and personal facts that were later be identified as belonging to his victims.
15:29.826 --> 15:36.768
[SPEAKER_01]: The authorities also discovered a detailed diary in his possession containing cryptic entries that appeared to reference his crimes.
15:39.097 --> 15:48.859
[SPEAKER_00]: The courthouse doors, roamed on their hinges before dawn, and by sunrise, every bench and chair was claimed.
15:50.600 --> 15:55.041
[SPEAKER_00]: Merchant's wives clutched lace hanker chips, their knuckles white.
15:56.401 --> 16:08.924
[SPEAKER_00]: Planters fanned themselves with guilt fans, sweat beating on their brows, and the stifling June heat, and all eyes remained locked on Louis Hutchinson
16:10.235 --> 16:12.995
[SPEAKER_00]: tall, immaculate, and linen and silk.
16:13.916 --> 16:20.877
[SPEAKER_00]: The mad master himself reclining in the defendant's box with that familiar and settling smirk.
16:22.537 --> 16:39.320
[SPEAKER_00]: Prosecutors struck first, like cannon fire, John calendar, pale, trembling, voice raw, recounted the echo of rifle cracks under the moonless skies, and the cruel laughter that followed each shot
16:40.778 --> 16:42.799
[SPEAKER_00]: Thirty witnesses then to the stand.
16:43.980 --> 16:55.146
[SPEAKER_00]: A widow, naming her silver spoons, a captain identifying his monogrammed waistcoat, a governess confirming a woman's silk ridicule.
16:56.867 --> 17:03.050
[SPEAKER_00]: Finally, the bleached bones exhumed from Hutchinson's cave were laid before the court.
17:04.497 --> 17:05.378
[SPEAKER_00]: a hush fell.
17:06.579 --> 17:13.884
[SPEAKER_00]: Hutchinson leaned back, eyelids drooping, and let a low chuckle rip off through the hall.
17:15.365 --> 17:19.448
[SPEAKER_00]: When pressed about the remains, he shrugged one elegant shoulder.
17:20.648 --> 17:23.931
[SPEAKER_00]: Travelers should be more careful, where they choose to rest.
17:24.691 --> 17:25.212
[SPEAKER_00]: He drooled.
17:26.833 --> 17:28.854
[SPEAKER_00]: Pins scratched across parchment.
17:29.915 --> 17:33.858
[SPEAKER_00]: Gasp's and stifled sobs, punctuated the silence.
17:35.572 --> 17:38.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Four days later, the formance voice rang out.
17:41.175 --> 17:45.898
[SPEAKER_00]: A judge, a stern man in wig and gown, banged his gavel.
17:47.659 --> 17:50.340
[SPEAKER_00]: Andown.
17:51.561 --> 17:53.842
[SPEAKER_00]: His voice echoing off the stone walls.
17:55.864 --> 17:57.985
[SPEAKER_00]: A tensioned smirk never slipped.
17:59.163 --> 18:01.465
[SPEAKER_00]: in the dim cells of Spanish town jail.
18:02.466 --> 18:06.389
[SPEAKER_00]: He refused all visitors and refused all confession.
18:08.191 --> 18:10.973
[SPEAKER_00]: It's silent, a final act of defiance.
18:12.294 --> 18:17.739
[SPEAKER_00]: Guards later swore they heard him chuckle, as the news was buckled into place.
18:19.100 --> 18:26.506
[SPEAKER_00]: That last laugh, the chilling overture, the gallows, and a fitting coat to a rain of terror
18:29.248 --> 18:38.302
[SPEAKER_01]: The gruesome legacy of Lewis Hutchinson, Jamaica's first recorded serial killer, continues to cast a dark shadow over the island's colonial history.
18:39.497 --> 18:43.999
[SPEAKER_01]: Edinburgh Castle, once the sight of his heinous crimes, now stands in ruins.
18:44.680 --> 18:48.002
[SPEAKER_01]: Its crumbling walls are testament to the darkness that wants to weld there.

[SPEAKER_01]: The impact of Hutchinson's crimes extended far beyond the immediate horror of his actions.

[SPEAKER_01]: His case marked a significant turning point in colonial law enforcement throughout the British Caribbean.
19:12.718 --> 19:23.225
[SPEAKER_01]: The authorities' initial reluctance to investigate the disappearance of travelers, particularly those of lower social standing, highlighted glaring inadequacies in the colonial justice system.
