- John_Christie_(murderer) abstract "John Reginald Halliday Christie (8 April 1899 – 15 July 1953) was a British serial killer active during the 1940s and early 1950s. He murdered at least eight women – including his wife Ethel – by strangling them in his flat at 10 Rillington Place, Notting Hill, London. Christie moved out of Rillington Place during March 1953, and soon afterward the bodies of three of his victims were discovered hidden in an alcove in the kitchen. His wife's body was found beneath the floorboards of the front room. Christie was arrested and convicted of his wife's murder, for which he was hanged. Christie was born in Northowram near Halifax in Yorkshire. While serving as an infantryman during World War I, he was apparently injured by a gas attack, which he claimed left him permanently unable to speak loudly. Following his discharge from the army, he was imprisoned several times for offenses including theft and assault. On the outbreak of World War II in 1939, he was accepted for service with the War Reserve Police, when the authorities failed to check his criminal record. He committed his murders between 1943 and 1953, usually by strangling his victims after he had rendered them unconscious with domestic gas; some, he raped as they lay unconscious.Two of Christie's victims were Beryl Evans and her daughter Geraldine, who, along with Beryl's husband Timothy, were tenants at 10 Rillington Place during 1948-49. This case sparked huge controversy after Timothy Evans was charged with both murders, found guilty of the murder of his daughter, and hanged in 1950. Christie was a major prosecution witness; but, when his own crimes were discovered three years later, serious doubts were raised about the integrity of Evans's conviction. Christie himself subsequently admitted killing Beryl Evans, but not Geraldine; it is now generally accepted that Christie murdered both Beryl and Geraldine and that police mishandling of the original enquiry, as well as their incompetence in searches at the house, allowed Christie to escape detection and enabled him to murder four more women. The High Court, when overturning the conviction in the Evans case during the 2000s, accepted that Evans did not murder either his wife or his child, so a miscarriage of justice occurred when Timothy Evans was hanged.In an official inquiry conducted in 1965–66, Mr Justice (Sir Daniel) Brabin concluded that it was \"more probable than not\" that Evans killed his wife but that he did not kill his daughter, Geraldine. This finding, challenged in subsequent legal processes, enabled the Home Secretary to grant Evans a posthumous pardon for the murder of his daughter during October 1966. The case contributed to the suspension of capital punishment for murder in the United Kingdom during 1965. Christie's story was dramatised in the 1971 film 10 Rillington Place, in which he was portrayed by Richard Attenborough.".
