During the 1940s and 1950s John Christie, an English serial killer and
necrophile from Halifax, murdered at least eight people - including his
wife, Ethel - by strangling them in his flat at 10 Rillington Place,
Notting Hill, London. Two further bodies were found wrapped in a
tablecloth in the washhouse behind 10 Rillington Place - those of Beryl
Evans and her baby daughter Geraldine. They were his lodgers. In 1939
Beryl Thorley, then 19, married Timothy Evans. Baby Geraldine followed
quickly and, determined to stand on their own two feet, the couple
rented a room from John Christie and his wife Ethel, at 10 Rillington
Place, not knowing how fatal this would prove. Over the years this case
has sparked huge controversy surrounding the question of who actually
killed Beryl and Geraldine. Now, more than 50 years later, Peter
Thorley, Beryl's youngest brother, is ready to tell his story. With
first-hand knowledge of the real horror of life inside 10 Rillington
Place, it is time to set the record straight. Peter has collected unseen
evidence, never released crime scene photos and statements to the
police. This is the shocking true story of the crimes and horror of life
with John Christie, Timothy Evans and 10 Rillington Place.
