#194 - The Gay Panic (Kensington, London, UK)

1962, the basement flat at 17 Pembroke Court in West Kensington was owned by George Brinham; a respected trade unionist and chairman of the Labour Party, who was hailed as a Prime Minister in the making. And yet, there is no blue plaque to George Brinham. Some might say this was down to his political affiliations, others might imply it was owing to his love life, but maybe it’s simply down to a scandal which on Saturday 17th November 1962, led to his murder.


But why was George Brinham killed, and did a quirk of the law let his murderer go free?

  • Location: Flat 17, Pembroke Court, Edwarde Square, Kensington, London, England, W8

This is Part Two of Two of The Bearded Man. At 12:45am on Saturday 14th January 1956, Ruby a local sex-worker was dropped off at this spot by her husband and pimp called Ernest. In his own words, “it was the last time I saw her alive”, as when he returned to their flat at 32 Westbourne Terrace, Ruby had been hatchetted to death in their bed.As the police’s prime suspect, Ernest would lay the blame for her murder on a mysterious man he had neither seen, met and had only heard about from his dead wife in passing.

Once his maid, now his pregnant mistress, she lived the life of a lady… but she could never be treated as his wife, as she was not of the right class. With the baby, due to be born in secret, even though its conception was as much his fault as it was hers, living in a world dominated by men, the impending child would be seen as her sin… not his… and therefore death would come to Salisbury mansions.Date: Friday 31st July 1863 after 2:30pm (time indetermined)Location: Salisbury Mansions, Marylebone Road, London, UK, W2 (demolished)Victims: 1 (Frederick Mitchell, 1 day old)Culprits: 1 (Sarah Emily MItchell)Blog - https://www.murdermiletours.com/blog/murder-mile-uk-true-crime-podcast-184-a-womans-sinMurder Mile is researched, written and performed by Michael of Murder Mile Walks with the main musical themes written and performed by Erik Stein and Jon Boux of Cult With No Name and additional music, as used under the Creative Commons License 4.0.
