Franz Müller (31 October 1840 – 14 November 1864), was a German tailor who hanged for the murder of Thomas Briggs, the first killing on a British train.
•
When the train reached Hackney Wick, the guard was alerted by two bankers who discovered pools of blood in Briggs' compartment.
•
Although diplomatic relations between the United States and the United Kingdom remained severely strained due to British involvement in the American Civil War (such as the building of Confederate commerce raider the CSS Alabama), an American judge upheld the extradition request to return Müller to Britain.
