#166 - The Bloody Butler - Part One (Belgravia, London, Britain)

This is Part One of Two.


On the next morning of Sunday 10th August at 09:08am, Victor Ford-Lloyd the butler to Sir William Ackroyd entered the top floor flat at 69 Eaton Place after a night out. In the master bedroom, he found his friend, his lover and the man servant to Sir William dead. Having died several hours earlier, he was lying motionless, with a sticky pool of congealed blood about his head, having had his skull brutally smashed in with a hammer.


But why?


Was this a robbery? A revenge killing? Or an attack on an openly gay man? With Sir William in Scotland and Victor at several clubs in the city at the time of the murder, neither witnessed the attack, or saw any potential suspects. So, what happened, and who murdered Sir William’s manservant?

  • Date: Sunday 10th August 1966 at 9:08am (call to the police)
  • Location: Flat 3, 69 Eaton Place, Belgravia, London, UK, SW1
  • Victims: 1 (Frank William Hocking)
  • Culprits: 1 (Victor Norman Ford-Lloyd)
