Ep82 - Sulphuric: 6 - Henrietta Helen Olivia Robarts Durand-Deacon (Acid Bath Murderer, Kensington, London, W8)

This is the Final Part of Sulphuric: the true story of serial killer John George Haigh.

On the evening of Friday 18th February 1949, serial-killer John George Haigh murdered his sixth and final victim Henrietta Helen Olivia Robarts Durand-Deacon, also known as Olive at his storeroom at Leopold Road. Six people had been murdered, as English Law states that “corpus delicti – with no body, there can be no crime”, having dissolved their bodies in acid, he knew he could literally get away with murder… but Haigh had made a fatal error.

• Location: Onslow Court Hotel, 108 Queen's Gate, Kensington, London, W8 (renamed The Kensington)
• Victims: 6 (although he would confess to nine)
