    #278 - In the Ripper's Shadow (Soho, London, UK) Dec 05, 2024
    Show notes

    Across October and early November 1888, when 'Jack the Ripper' slayed several women in the East End of London, a smaller and largely forgotten sexual sadist was attacking women in Soho in the West End. Masked using a series of baffling distractions, his crimes were made possible owing to the fevered frenzy in the midst of a mini media mania committed in the Ripper's shadow. But who was he, was it a hoax, or did he even exist? For those fascinated by Jack the Ripper, here's an interesting side story about a crazed sadist who committed a shocking crime spree in West London, just three miles from Whitechapel, and possibly used Jack the Ripper's crimes to cover his own.


    • Date: Friday 5th of October 1888 to Sunday 4th of November 1888.
    • Location: several across Soho/Fitzrovia/Bloomsbury.
    • Victims: 7 (Eliza Smyth, ‘Swiss Annie’, Jayne Jones, Emma Jewson, Alice or Anna Dedmun, ‘Minnie’ Jones and Eliza Shad)
    • Culprits: ?
    • Method of death: strangulation and mutilation

    Show notes

    Sunday the 1st of December 2019 was the last time 53-year-old William Algar, a talented jazz trumpeter was seen alive. One month later, parts of his dismembered body were found in his flat at 7 Nowell Road in Barnes, having been the victim of cuckooing by a drugs gang. But who had murdered him? This is a story about a county lines gang who murdered an innocent man in the name of greed.


    • Date: Sunday 1st December 2019 (time of murder impossible to tell)
    • Location: Ground Floor Flat, 7 Nowell Road, Barnes, SW13

    Note: Wodu, Emmons & Dube were found guilty of the later murder of Ebrima Cham. In the murder of William Algar, all were convicted of perverting the course of justice, but unable to prove who had killed William, Wodu, Emmons & Dube were found ‘not guilty’ of his murder or his manslaughter.

    #275 - Stolen Womanhood.


    On Sunday 5th of November 1978, at a little after 5:30pm, two women stood at a bus stop on Sydney Place in Kensington, SW7, waiting for the rush hour bus. Having been close friends for decades, there seemed to be an odd friction between them, and although their issue was of a personal nature, within minutes, one would be a wanted criminal on the run, and the other would be shot dead. But why did Alvada Kooken murder Margaret Philbin?

    • Date: Sunday 5th of November 1978, at a little after 5:30pm
    • Location: Bus Stop (now HY), Sydney Place, off Fulham Road, Kensington, SW7.

    On Tuesday 11th August 1936, at roughly noon, in the basement flat of 7 Roseford Gardens in Shepherd’s Bush, 66-year-old widow Elizabeth Fortescue was smothered to death, as her attacker ransacked her flat.

    On Sunday 31st July 1949, just before midnight, Michael Martin unleashed a violent attack on a defenceless 53-year-old prostitute known locally as ‘Mona’. To the press, it seemed like an all-too-familiar story of a destitute woman who was brutally murdered by a horny drunken punter, but with time and infirmity catching up with all of us, this anonymous streetwalker’s death marked the end of an amazing criminal.

    On Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th of August 2021, having recently been released from prison, Lee Peacock brutally murdered his ex-partner Sharon Pickles and her partner Clinton Ashmore.

    On Thursday 18th of October 1945, the bloodied body of veteran taxi-driver Frank Everitt was found wedged on the bridge in a hole at the pump house on Lambeth Bridge, which he could hardly fit into. At first, it seemed like he was either stuck or sleeping, but was this just a crude attempt to conceal a corpse, or a meticulously planned execution?
