Ruth Ellis

Ruth Ellis

In 1955, Ruth Ellis shot and killed David Blakely, with whom she had a relationship. She was tried, convicted, and executed very quickly. Ruth was the last woman executed in the United Kingdom. Her case is highly controversial, and there is much debate about whether she should have been convicted of murder at all.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the case of Ruth Ellis. Her case has inspired books, plays, TV and radio dramas, and a movie, and there was an attempt to get her conviction overturned in an appeals court after her execution. Much of the controversy surrounding Ruth's case centers on the abuse she suffered at the hands of Blakely. Also, she was with a new boyfriend at the time of the murders, who allegedly gave her a gun and may have provoked her to kill.
