#288 - The Chalk Pit Murder - Part One (John McMain Mudie, Kensington, UK)

This is Part One of Two of The Chalk Pit Murder.


On Thursday 28th of November 1946, Australian politician Thomas Ley enlisted four good people to help him trap a bad man who terrorised women. As a simple plan with no law broken and nobody hurt, it was a gentlemanly reaction to a dastardly crime by a criminal who they felt deserved worse. Only what began as a good deed by four decent and moral people, soon descended into deceit and death.


  • Date: Thursday 28th of November 1946 at 7:00pm+ (murder of John Mudie)
  • Location: 5 Beaufort Gardens, Knightsbride, London, SW3 (Ley's house, with entrance being on Brompton Place)
  • Victim: 1 (John McMain Mudie, known as Jack)
  • Culprits: 5 (Thomas John Ley & Lawrence John Smith, plus co-conspirators John William Buckingham Snr, Lilian Florence Bruce & John Buckingham Jnr)
