Retrieved 10 January 2023.Rillington Place is a 1971 British crime film. The film stars Richard Attenborough, Judy Geeson, John Hurt and Pat Heywood and was directed by Richard Fleischer, produced by Leslie Linder and Martin Ransohoff. It was adapted by Clive Exton from the book Ten Rillington Place by Ludovic Kennedy (who also acted as technical advisor to the production). Warm congratulates to Peter Thorley for revealing the truth about Tim Evans who was a coward and was rightly executed. His sister was savagely beaten before she was killed and there was no sign of sexual intercourse. Christie’s modus operandi was quite different so yes there were 2 killers and no miscarriage of justice. Reply Since abortion was illegal, Christie told Evans that he should leave London and that he would dispose of the body and make arrangements for a couple to look after Geraldine. Evans said he went to stay with relatives in Wales, and when he returned, Christie refused to let him see Geraldine. Peter Thorley has written a fascinating book about one of the most notorious murder cases of the 1950s.

I n the years 1948-9 a 13-year-old schoolboy, Peter Thorley, was a regular visitor to 10 Rillington Place, a rundown little house (long since demolished) comprising three flats in Notting Hill Gate, west London. Thorley’s sister Beryl was living in the top flat with her van-driver husband Timothy Evans and their baby daughter Geraldine. Inside 10 Rillington Place, By Peter Thorley Yet Thorley does not seek any official recognition of this version of events. What is done, he says, is done. The only thing he asks is that Beryl and Geraldine’s bodies be exhumed from the Catholic cemetery in London where they lie, to be reburied in Sussex. Rita Nelson, 25, was last seen alive on January 13, 1953, and is thought to have been killed by January 19. Kathleen Maloney, a 26 year-old local prostitute, was last seen in early to mid January but was probably killed after Rita Nelson. Hectorina Maclennan, 26, was killed at some point before Christie moved out of the flat on March 20, 1953. A couple of extra points, totally unrelated to one another. Pity I couldn’t edit my post “in situ” to insert them.

One scene opens with the doorbell at 10 Rillington Place ringing as Christie goes up the stairs to perform the abortion on Beryl. But the murders for which John Christie’s name is most widely known occurred in November 1949 — murders for which another man was hanged. Timothy Evans Moves Into 10 Rillington Place
