Henry Williams was convicted of the murder of his 5-year-old daughter Margaret Anne Andrews and sentenced to death.
He cut her throat at his home at 5 Waterford Road, Fulham, London on 10 September 1902.
Henry Williams had been seeing a woman for nine years and they had had a child together, Margaret Andrews.
However, in 1900 Henry Williams went off to fight in the Boer War. When he returned in 1902 he became convinced that his partner had been seeing a sailor. He argued with her about it but she denied it. He told her that he would not hurt her but that he would break her heart.
