79 | History’s Deadliest Gunshot: Gavrilo Princip and the Sarajevo Assassination That Sparked WW1
2025/09/24
In Sarajevo on 28 June 1914, a young Bosnian student named Gavrilo Princip fired a shot which would become the deadliest in history. With the help of co-conspirators from underground nationalist group Young Bosnia, he assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie during their imperial visit to the capital. Their deaths set off a domino effect of ultimatums, alliances, and mobilisations across Europe, and within weeks, the continent was engulfed in World War I (The Great War), a conflict that ultimately claimed millions of lives. Was Princip a terrorist, a freedom fighter, or simply a desperate youth caught in history’s tide? This episode explores the life, motives, and legacy of the 19-year-old whose pistol transformed Bosnia’s struggle into a global war. Few individuals have altered the course of history so suddenly, or so tragically.  Subscribe to my YouTube channel for video versions of the podcast: 📺 youtube.com/@prashsmurdermap 💡 Support me on Patreon to get ad-free audio episodes https://www.patreon.com/prashsmurdermap 💰 One-off contributions ☕ Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/prashsmurdermap 💵 PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/prashsmurdermap 🎧 Listen to my new podcast Curious Britain Explore the mysteries, folklore, and forgotten stories of Britain.

78 | The Murdered Watchmaker of Norfolk: The 1853 Case of Lorenz Beha
2025/09/16
In 2025, two pocket watches were sold at an auction, prompting renewed interest in a 170 year old East Anglia murder case.

The timepieces are not the only reminders of this forgotten piece of history, as the killer’s death mask survives as a gruesome relic of this tragic case.
