#265 - The Fearmonger - Part One (London, England, UK)

On Sunday 30th October 1932, Mabel & Herbert checked into Room 201, at the far-left end of the second floor. They had enjoyed a romantic week together, they been out to the theatre, they had savoured a last meal, they sent their personal belongings to their families, and having written their suicide notes, they laid on the bed, and kissed each other goodbye… having taken cyanide. It was ultimate love story of Bradford’s very own Romeo & Juliet. Or so it seemed.Date: Sunday 30th October 1932 at roughly 10pmLocation: Room 201, The Regent Palace Hotel, 38 Glasshouse Street, London, England, W1Victims: 2 (Mabel Hill & Herbert Turner)Culprits: 2 (Mabel Hill & Herbert Turner)Keywords: love, cyanide, suicide, murder, Blog - https://www.murdermiletours.com/blog/murder-mile-uk-true-crime-podcast-165-to-love-to-die-foreverMurder 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.

#164 - Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. On 19th August 1967, 26-year-old Australian-citizen Edward Wahlstrom-Lewis paid a visit to the Rupert Court Club at 8 Rupert Court in London's Chinatown. Entering the club, Edward was given two options; spend £4 to sit and chat to a pretty hostess for a bit, or spend £8 for the whole night. He assumed he was going to spend the night with the lady and (in return) get some sexy time.But when he realised all he was going get was some idle chit-chat, and no nookie, Edward lost his rag and put three men in hospital. This is a truly bizarre story about a man who wanted some kiss kiss, what he delivered was bang bang.Date: Saturday 19th August 1967 at roughly 1amLocation: The Rupert Court Club, 8 Rupert Court, London, UK, W1Victims: 1 (Roy Samuel Martinson, Dinos Mayromatis and Barry Glatz)Culprits: 1 (Edward "Ted" Robert Wahlstrom-Lewis)Keywords: striptease, dancer, shotgun, killing spree, Blog - https://www.murdermiletours.com/blog/murder-mile-uk-true-crime-podcast-164-kiss-kiss-bang-bangMurder 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 14th March 1922, in a small ground-floor lodging at the back of 168 Hampstead Road, a baby girl was born. Conceived in secret by a young couple - 21-year-old Harry Gimber and 23-year-old Alice Crabbe - they hadn;t been able to abort it, the couldn't afford to keep, so having ran out of options, they decided to "abandon it".One week later, the body of a new born baby was found in Enfield, but with no way to identify Harry & Alice as the parents, its disposal should have remained a secret. So, what went wrong?Date: Tuesday 14th March 1922 at roughly 12pm (birth and death)Location: First-floor, back-room at 168 Hampstead Road, London, UK, NW1Victims: 1 (unnamed baby)Culprits: 1 (Harry William Gimber & Alice Crabb)Keywords: infanticide, child murder, strangling, baby, Blog - https://www.murdermiletours.com/blog/murder-mile-uk-true-crime-podcast-163-the-unlovedMurder 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.

Back in the winter of 1950, The Victory café at 226A Edgware Road in Paddington was managed by 50-year-old Alice Williams; a quiet, nervous but hard-working lady who everyone called ‘Madam’. So respected was Alice, that when a regular customer called June needed her help, she did just that, and put into storage June’s personal belongings and life savings.Both women trusted one another… but on the Boxing Day of 1950, something made Alice snap. So what should have been a swift transaction, sparked a fight for their lives and ended in death.Murder 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.

She was quiet, pleasant and she kept to herself. Those who knew her had nothing but kind words to say about her, but on across the night of Sunday 2nd to Monday 3rd July 1972, not only would a sadist assail this veritable Fort-Knox of security and navigate its maze of corridors to access her room, but they would subject this young girl to a truly shocking attack over four torturous hours, which ended in her death.

This is not a regular Murder Mile episode. As a thank you for supporting the show, here's a little - deliberately silly - Christmas treat which I hope you'll like. If you haven't listened to Extra Mile or Mini Mile, you may not get a lot of the jokes or references. Have a great holidayMxSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/murdermile. Hosted on Acast.
