George Joseph Smith (11 January 1872 – 13 August 1915) was an English serial killer and bigamist. In 1915 he was convicted and subsequently hanged for the slayings of three women, the case becoming known as the "Brides in the Bath Murders". As well as being widely reported in the media, the case was a significant case in the history of forensic pathology and detection. It was also one of the first cases in which similarities between connected crimes were used to prove deliberation, a technique used in subsequent prosecutions.

Killer George Joseph Smith was hanged for the murders of his three wives - who all died in the bath:



First victim Bessie Mundy was killed by Smith in 1912. He planned her murder by claiming she had epileptic fits:

Victims Alice Burnham, murdered in 1913 by her husband George Smith, and Margaret Lofty, who died in 1914 at his hands. Both were said to have suffered headaches and drowned in the bath tub:
