On the morning of February 4th 1733, the bodies of three women were discovered at Number 3 Tanfield Court a few yards from the Temple Church at the Inns of Court. The following day, a young laundress, Sarah Malcolm, was arrested and charged with their murder. The gruesome nature of the crime allied to her youth and beauty shocked London society. William Hogarth painted her portrait in the condemned hold of Newgate gaol shortly before her execution.
