Wainewright the Poisoner
by Andrew Motion
Thomas Wainewright was an artist, poet and writer who exhibited at the Royal Academy and entertained some of the best-known figures of the day at his rooms on Great Marlborough Street. Unfortunately, he was also accused of murdering three of his relatives, and was subsequently transported for life to Van Diemen's Land in 1837.
