#173 - A Buddy, A Dummy, A Deadman (Southwark, London, British)

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.

  • Location: Flat 21, Block F, Peabody Buildings, Roupell Street, London, UK, SE1
  • Victims: 1 (Thomas Meaney)
  • Culprits: 1 (William Donoghue)
  • Keywords: mistaken identity, wrong man, drink, stabbing,
