Wicklow Assizes Murder of a Father
At Wicklow Assizes Philip Lewins faced murder charges for killing his father Thomas Lewins. The narrative follows the pursuit, discovery, and capture, with witnesses placing him at the scene and a landlord disputing his debt defense. The judge pressed for remorse, but Lewins offered a defiant, minimal response before execution. Church figures tried to provide spiritual aid, but Lewins refused prayer and refused to recite the Lord’s Prayer.
