Brand new Book. Sixty years ago, the discovery of bodies at 10 Rillington Place in Notting Hill, London, led to one of the most sensational, shocking and controversial serial murder cases in British criminal history - the case of John Christie. Much has been written about the Christie killings and the fate of Timothy Evans who was executed for murders Christie later confessed to - the story still provokes strong feeling and speculation. So a painstaking, scholarly reassessment of the evidence - and of Christie's life - is overdue, and that is what Jonathan Oates provides in this gripping biography of a serial killer.

It seems impossible that two stranglers of women could both live in the same house, yet this is what the author maintains happened in Notting Hill in John Reginald Halliday Christie was already a murderer, with a score of at least 2, when Timothy John Evans, much younger, and on the edge of idiocy, came to live with his wife at 10 Rillington Place. Christie is supposed to have framed Evans over the killing of his wife and baby daughter, and was even the principal Crown witness against Evans. The author challenges Timothy Evans' innocence to claim that Evans was guilty of the murders. With careful research the author highlights inaccuracies in previous accounts of the case and builds a convincing and controversial argument. However, as a direct result of threatened legal action by Ludovic Kennedy which was settled out of court , this first edition of the book was withdrawn from sale, which now makes it an extremely scarce title.

Two typewritten copies of Gilmour's review one with a couple of corrections in his hand accompanied by a photocopy of it taken from the Daily Telegraph. Three newspaper reviews, a four page photocopy of a review and a flyer for the book. Michael H. Eddowes lawyer, author and investigator and father of the author wrote a book entitled 'The Man on Your Conscience' in which he claimed Evans was innocent and that John Christie was responsible for the murders of both Evans' wife and child. Timothy Evans who was hanged for the murder of his daughter was subsequently pardoned and Ludovic Kennedy wrote a book citing Evans' fate as one of the first miscarriages of justice. John Eddowes regarded his father's views as those of a fantasist and a liar and set out in his book to prove him and others such as Ludovic Kennedy wrong, arguing that Evans was guilty of both murders.

Once Eady was seated breathing the mixture from the tube with her back turned, Christie inserted a second tube into the jar connected to a gas tap. The wash-house where the bodies of Beryl and Geraldine Evans were found is the building with the light-coloured roof situated farthest from the main house. During Easter of Timothy Evans and his wife Beryl moved into the top floor flat at Rillington Place, where Beryl gave birth to their daughter, Geraldine, in October In late Evans informed police that his wife was dead. Beryl's body had been wrapped twice over in a blanket and then a table cloth. The autopsy revealed that both had been strangled, and that Beryl Evans had been physically assaulted before her death, judging by the bruises on her face. The alleged confession may have been fabricated by the police themselves, as the statement appears contrived and artificial. The police made many mistakes in the handling of the case, especially overlooking the remains of previous murders left in the garden at Rillington Place: one femur was later to be found propping up a fence, for example. The garden at the house was very small about 16 by 14 feet , and the fence was next to the wash-house where the bodies of Beryl and Geraldine were found later. Several searches were made at the house after Evans confessed to putting his wife in the drains, but the wash-house was not entered at any point by the three policemen involved. The garden was apparently examined yet all the searches missed the visible bones. Christie later admitted that his dog had unearthed a human skull in the garden shortly after the police searches, which he removed and left in a nearby bombed-out house. There was clearly no systematic search made of the crime scene in which this or other human remains would have been found, and pointed to Christie as the perpetrator. The skull was found and handed in to Notting Hill police station during the investigation, but ignored. The evidence of builders working at the house was ignored, and their various interviews with Evans suggest that the police concocted a false confession. It should have been clear, for example, from the very first statement made in Wales that Evans was totally unaware of the resting place of the body of his wife, or how she had been killed. He claimed that his wife's body was in a drain at the front of the house, but a police search failed to find any remains there.
