Until its closure in 2016, Madame Tussauds' Chamber of Horrors was one of the museum's oldest and most popular attractions. And for decades, staring out at visitors was the waxwork of a notorious Victorian double killer, the murderer of a young mother and baby - a woman named Mary Pearcey. A reveal of how the troubled Pearcey began an affair with her victim's husband, how she inserted herself into the family's life, and how she lured her rival to her death.
