#296 - An Afterglow of Hate (Styllou Christofi, Hella Belcher / Christofi, Hampstead, NW3)

On the night of Wednesday 28th of July 1954, 11 South Hill Park was the scene of one of London’s most shocking and brutal murders. It was so horrific, it caused an outrage in society, an uproar in the press and a debate in Parliament as how could anyone be so callous and cruel? It was a murder which devastated a family, yet, the killer would claim they did it not out of hate, they did it for love.

  • Location: Basement / ground floor, 11 South Hill Park, Hampstead, London, NW3
  • Victim: 1 (Hella Belcher / Christofi)
  • Culprits: 1 (Styllou Christofi).
