 Edith Thompson and Frederick Bywaters
She did not know that Bywaters had been arrested but saw him in the police station later and said "Oh God why did he do it", continuing "I didn't want him to do it".
At the trial, Bywaters refused to incriminate Edith and when cross examined told the prosecution that he did not believe that Edith had actually attempted to poison Percy but had rather a vivid imagination and a passion for sensational novels that extended to her imagining herself as one of the characters.
Bywaters met his end bravely at the hands of William Willis, still protesting Edith's innocence whilst she was in a state of total collapse.

 Film | Presumed guilty
At exactly the same time - the home secretary had insisted - her lover, Frederick Bywaters, was hanged, barely a mile away at Pentonville prison.
The next undisputed fact was that on October 3 1922, as Edith and her husband were walking back to their Ilford house after an evening in London, Bywaters came out of the shadows and viciously stabbed Percy Thompson to death.
The telling evidence against her was in two parts: her behaviour after the killing of her husband, and a series of letters she wrote to Bywaters when he was away at sea, which appeared to show that they were constantly and enthusiastically planning ways to get rid of Thompson.

These include Darling Peidi, about the Thompson and Bywater murder case, which was broadcast in the Monday Play series in 1993; a Saturday Night Theatre, The Anatomical Venus, broadcast in the following year; and Five Kinds of Silence (1996), which won the Writer's Guild Award for Best Original Drama.

The appeal judges called the murder 'a squalid and rather indecent case of lust and adultery', and seemed to think that it was only a small step from adultery to murder.

One night in London in 1922, a thirty-two-year-old clerk named Percy Thompson is stabbed to death as he walks home from the theater.

Using letters, both real and imagined, from Edie to Fred as they await their fate, Dawson recounts, with simmering prose and searing honesty, this perversely innocent love affair at a time of momentous change for women.

Subject: Bywaters Jorn, Over the past few months, I have been working intermittently on unravelling the connection between Frederick Bywaters and Kevin.
The connection begins with the B10 passage you cite, "Bywaters wrote prize winning essay on kindness to Animals" which obviously became part of the excised section of the 2nd Kevin draft: "At the age of six [years & six months] he wrote a prize essay on kindness to fishes" (FDV 276).
The Bywaters case is especially interesting in the context of the Wake because Bywaters and Thompson were ultimately found guilty of murder (and hanged) based upon evidence found in their letters (Glasheen cites an example in the Census).

In 1922, Edith Thompson, a millinery clerk, and Frederick Bywaters, who worked in a ship's laundry, were arraigned in the Old Bailey for the stabbing death of Edie's loutish husband, Percy—he as the perpetrator and she as co-conspirator.
