On Tuesday 6th June 1961, three American airmen booked-in and headed out for a fun night in Baywater. They were Gerald Bererras, William Hammond and Stanley Roach. Just shy of midnight, two of the men were attacked by a group of local men armed with fists, bottles and a knife. And in the ensuing fight for their lives, Stanley Roach was stabbed to death. But why did they murder Stanley Roach, a man they didn’t know?Date: Tuesday 6th June 1961 at roughly midnightLocation: 49 Queensborough Terrace, Bayswater, London, UK, W2Victims: 1 (Stanley Thurman Roach)Culprits: 2 (Daniel Attard & Andreas Xanthou)Keywords: attack, robbery, assault, wrong man,Blog - https://www.murdermiletours.com/blog/murder-mile-uk-true-crime-podcast-174-nothing-but-common-thugsMurder Mile is researched, written and performed by Michael J Buchanan-Dunne of Murder Mile Walks with the main musical themes written and performed by Erik Stein and Jon Boux of Cult With No Name with additional music, as used under the Creative Commons License 4.0 (Attribution) via Free Music Archive and YouTube Music.

On the night of Thursday 7th December 1950, 42-year old William Donoghue stabbed 74-year-old Thomas Meaney to death. The two men had met that night (as friends of a friend), they got on well, they had been drinking and then they fell asleep. The attack was unprovoked and frenzied. And yet, this would be an incident so bizarre, even William would struggle to believe that he had murdered Thomas Meaney… but he had.Date: Thursday 7th December 1928 at roughly midnightLocation: Flat 21, Block F, Peabody Buildings, Roupell Street, London, UK, SE1Victims: 1 (Thomas Meaney)Culprits: 1 (William Donoghue)Keywords: mistaken identity, wrong man, drink, stabbing, Blog - https://www.murdermiletours.com/blog/murder-mile-uk-true-crime-podcast-173-a-buddy-a-dummy-a-deadmanMurder Mile is researched, written and performed by Michael J Buchanan-Dunne of Murder Mile Walks with the main musical themes written and performed by Erik Stein and Jon Boux of Cult With No Name with additional music, as used under the Creative Commons License 4.0 (Attribution) via Free Music Archive and YouTube Music.

This is Part Two of Two of The Bloody Butler.With their employer on holiday in Scotland, on Saturday 9th August 1969 at 2:30pm, Frank & Victor were seen enjoying a pleasant lunch at Coq Au Vin, a French restaurant at 8 Harriet Street in Knightsbridge. At 3pm, they returned to 69 Eaton Place. With Frank too tired, and with Victor looking to party the night away, he hit the town alone.Why are his movements that night so important? With his boss away, this was his free-time, and he was just enjoying a night off? So surely his absence from the flat only proves his innocence? Or maybe those timings tell us everything we need to know about his lover’s brutal murder.Date: Sunday 10th August 1966 at 9:08am (call to the police)Location: Flat 3, 69 Eaton Place, Belgravia, London, UK, SW1Victims: 1 (Frank William Hocking)Culprits: 1 (Victor Norman Ford-Lloyd)Keywords: beating, sexual assault, theft, Blog - https://www.murdermiletours.com/blog/murder-mile-uk-true-crime-podcast-167-the-bloody-butler-part-two-of-twoMurder Mile is researched, written and performed by Michael J Buchanan-Dunne of Murder Mile Walks with the main musical themes written and performed by Erik Stein and Jon Boux of Cult With No Name with additional music, as used under the Creative Commons License 4.0 (Attribution) via Free Music Archive and YouTube Music.
