It was a sunny spring afternoon in March. 1873. The birds were singing, the flowers were blooming and the children playing alongside the canal bank.
Were sitting on a bench, two lovely dressed young ladies: a brunette, Mrs Olivia Scott and next to her was Mrs Freyah Olivander.
Both young ladies came from a high society family and both were married to rich men.
They were chatting along about their plans for the day when came along their husbands in a rather jolly walk.
Mr John Scott and Mr Elijah Olivander had bought that day four tickets for the 15th of March that year. When John announced that the boat ride was in four days Olivia seemed very pleased but Freyah, on the other hand, was not very thrilled with the news. She was more afraid of water than an elephant of a mouse.
But Olivia and Elijah kept telling her that it would be fine and that they will have a lot of fun.
She then asked who came up with the idea, John pointed to Elijah and stated
"He came up with the idea and I thought it was great !"
Olivia then remembered her husband that he had a meeting in town. All four friends left in different ways.
Later on, Olivia and Elijah met up secretly in the Red Lion Inn. What their other half did not know is that they have been seeing each other for over a year now and have been having a love affair ever since.
Elijah and Olivia have been planning the death of John and Freyah for a while now and finally came up with the idea of drowning them in the Royal British canal. Olivia came up with all the plan.
She started explaining it to Elijah who was listening very carefully while making sure no one else was.
