== Synopsis ==
Following the massacre at [[Cawnpore (Satichaura Ghat)|Satichaura Ghat]] on 27 June, the surviving women and children were taken back to Cawnpore. Together with refugees from [[Futteguhr|Fategarh]], in total 206 women and children, they were confined in two rooms of a residence called Bibigarh. [[Nana Shaib Sahib]] attempted to use them as a bargaining tool to deter the British forces under [[Henry Havelock|Brig-Gen Sir Henry Havelock ]] approaching Cawnpore. When this failed the captives were murdered on 15 July and the bodies thrown down a well the following day.
