Synopsis
Set in nineteenth-century Bermuda, a notorious and horrific crime was committed. It was late on a Sunday night, on October 20th, 1878. The murder of a forty-one-year-old black woman named Anna Regina Skeeters (nee Evans). Anna, a local Somerset girl, had unfortunately suffered a horrible death. It was administered to her by her husband, Edward James Skeeters, a serial adulterer, who frequently enters into casual sexual relationships with other women.
The sister of one of these women continuously taunted Anna, causing Anna to confront her husband. His reaction was to strike out at her in an unthinkable manner. This story is their story, based on their marriage, his philandering ways and ultimately, his diabolical crime. It was one of the most vicious murders ever perpetrated on the tiny Island.
The sin was so atrocious and coldly calculated; it shocked the small Island to its core. Thus, angering the colonists enough to create mobs intending to lynch Edward, and the practice of witchcraft to dispel the offender.
During the trial, the skilled prosecutor left nothing to chance. He didn't want to jeopardise a guilty verdict that he expected. The trial proceedings were the trial of the century at that time. However, to this day, it is still a murder that is so foul that it has ever been committed in Bermuda. People from across the Island walked the 21-mile distance to flock to the tiny one-room courthouse (held at Hamilton goal), to get a glimpse of the murderer.
Ultimately, a death sentence was handed down. Additionally, a judicial order, never previously issued, was bestowed upon Edward Skeeters. A Judgement ordered that would follow his skeletal remains, for an eternity and beyond.
