Happy Halloween!!!! 

Welcome to Macabre, Manitoba: Where Murder, Mayhem and Mystery is born and dies. 

Here it is - the last Episode in this limited True Crime Podcast Series, dedicated solely to Manitoba History;  for 31 Days only, October 1 to the 31st, landing on the scariest Day of the year! 

It is crazy to think how such much evil and perversion has taken place over the course over the last 150 years + in a province that had so much promise and known as the gateway to the West.
But that is what it was and to some extent, remains to be, a Wild, Wild West show. 

Join myself, Jas, as I introduce you to a short history lesson on some very horrific crimes and murders that have happened in our fair city of Winnipeg and around Manitoba every day in October. 

Just like violence, crime and murder does not make sense to the civil sound minded person, these epsisodes are randomly released in no specific order. Some episodes are 4 minutes, some are 20 minutes. 

Some horrific stories you may actually remember, but guaranteed, all of them, you will never forget! 

Episode 31 - Last Person Hung in Manitoba

1950 Marks the last time someon was put to death in the Povince of Manitoba by hanging in headingley Jail. - Do you think corporal punishment by death should be brought back into law? Society by far, seems to be getting increasingly worse every year and by some standards murder rates on the rise, especially when you live in a city that has repeatedly been dubbed 'The Murder Capitol of Canada' every other year it seems. There has to be better solutions, tougher senstences for the ones that are released on petty crime, to have only graduated to Murder in the first degree. Maybe life sentences need to be just that 80 years not this hand slapping 25 business where they get out on good behaviour in 10 years to only continue with their violence hatred. Maybe violent offenders and criminals would think twice if there was that chance they could be put to death?  Stiffer penalities need to be enforced for the next victim is YOU.
