A 13-Year-Old Murdered His Mother… and Lived With Her Body | Robert Coombes Story

In the summer of 1895, Victorian London was shaken by a case so disturbing it earned a name that still echoes through true crime history. The Plaistow Horror.
Robert Allen Coombes was only thirteen when he killed his mother, calmly told neighbors she had gone away, and spent his days attending cricket matches and the theater while her body decomposed upstairs.

This documentary explores the full story behind one of Britain’s most chilling child murder cases, from Robert’s troubled childhood and obsession with violent crime, to the shocking discovery that stunned the nation. But the story doesn’t end there.

After being declared criminally insane and sent to Broadmoor Hospital, Robert Coombes would later emerge to live a life no one expected, including becoming a decorated war hero during World War I.

Was Robert Coombes born evil?
Or was he a deeply troubled child who found redemption?

This is a true crime case that challenges everything we think we know about guilt, punishment, and the possibility of change.
