#41 - The Forgotten Truth about the Charlotte Street Robbery (Fitzrovia, London, W1)

On Friday 19th September 1947, two robbers - Christopher James Geraghty and Charles Henry Jenkins - were executed having killed an innocent bystander whilst in pursuit of a robbery, as no-one could prove which man had committed the murder. It's a trial which brought about the abolition of the death penalty in the United Kingdom. But who was the real victim?

  • Date: Friday 29th April 1943
  • Location: 73-75 Charlotte Street, Fitzrovia, London, W1 (site demolished)
  • Victims: 1 (Alec d'Antiquis)
