Undressing 'Jack The Stripper' - Part 2

He's the London serial killer you may never have even knew existed - from the late 1950's to the mid 1960's, West London was shocked by the deaths of several sex workers, stripped, strangled, and their bodies dumped unceremoniously, like pieces of rubbish. It's commonly considered to be the UK's most prolific series of unsolved serial killings, claiming more victims than his similar namesake the previous century, and in a joint 8 part series between myself, and the award nominated Murder Mile podcast, each week myself and Mike will examine the case in full detail, sifting through misinformation, lies, rumour and perhaps even downright corruption.

The True Crime Enthusiast and Murder Mile have brought you so far the accounts of four dead women – Elizabeth Figg, Gwyneth Rees, Hannah Tailford and Irene Lockwood, found dead around the river Thames over a four year period from 1959 to 1963 – with police considering:

Was there another Ripper on the loose?

Police were soon to believe that there was – with the deaths of another four women, whose tales we shall account in Part 2 and B.

Join myself on The True Crime Enthusiast for parts 1 to 4, and Mike over on Murder Mile for parts A to D, as we continue Undressing - 'Jack The Stripper'
