John Christie: The Bad Neighbour/Sex Strangler of Notting Hill
Listen now
Description
John Christie was a World War 1 and 2 veteran who lived with his wife Ethel in the bottom floor flat of 10 Rillington Place, a low-income apartment building in London’s Notting Hill district. In the 50s, there was a media storm when one of the tenants living in the same building as John, a man named Timothy Evans, was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife and baby daughter - despite claiming innocence. John and his wife were star witnesses in that trial, testifying that their upstairs neighbours, Timothy and his wife, argued constantly and the night before her murder they had heard a loud thud. Timothy was hanged for his crime - and life went back to normal for John and Ethel Christie. That is - until another tenant of 10 Rillington Place made a horrifying discovery: the bodies of six women hidden in the walls, floors and garden of the building. One of the bodies found was Ethel Christie, John’s wife - leading the police to believe that John Christie had murdered her along with the other women hidden in his flat. This respected war veteran was a serial killer - and what he did to his victims is particularly disturbing.  With this shocking revelation, many wondered if John Christie had also killed Timothy Evan’s wife and baby years prior, meaning they had hanged an innocent man - a grieving husband and father. John Christie would be dubbed the Sex Strangler of Notting Hill - but had he also framed Timothy for murder?  Sources: https://www.grunge.com/669825/the-messed-up-truth-of-serial-killer-john-christie/ https://murderpedia.org/male.C/c/christie-john.htm https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/a-timeline-of-john-christies-crimes-and-their-discovery-and-the-bits-rillington-place-missed-out/  https://allthatsinteresting.com/john-christie Support the show Follow me here: ► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/ ► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper ► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/ ► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/ ► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik  Join the Serial Society true crime Facebook group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialnapperpatron Our Sponsors: * Check out True Crime Feed : https://thetruecrimefeed.com/ * Check out rosettastone.com/TODAY and use my code TODAY for a great deal: Rosetta Stone’s Lifetime Membership for 50% off!
