Book excerpt: This compendium brings together thirty-three murderous tales — one from each of the capital's boroughs — that not only shocked the City but made headline news across the country. Throughout its history the great urban sprawl of Greater London has been home to some of the most shocking murders in England, many of which have made legal history. Contained within the pages of this book are the stories behind these heinous crimes. They include George Chapman, who was hanged in 1903 for poisoning three women, and whom is widely suspected of having been the notorious serial killer Jack the Ripper; lovers Edith Thompson and Frederick Bywaters, executed for stabbing to death Thompson's husband Percy in 1922; and Donald Hume, who was found not guilty of the murder of wealthy businessman Stanley Setty in 1949, but later confessed to killing him, chopping up his body and disposing of it by aeroplane. Linda Stratmann also reveals previously unpublished information that sheds a whole new light on the infamous Craig and Bentley case. This carefully researched, well-illustrated and enthralling text will appeal to those interested in the history of Greater London's history and true-crime fans alike.

Book Synopsis 1888 by : Peter Stubley

Download or read book 1888 written by Peter Stubley. This book was released on 2012-09-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1888 Jack the Ripper made the headlines with a series of horrific murders that remain unsolved to this day. But most killers are not shadowy figures stalking the streets with a lust for blood. Many are ordinary citizens driven to the ultimate crime by circumstance, a fit of anger or a desire for revenge. Their crimes, overshadowed by the few, sensational cases, are ignored, forgotten or written off. This book examines all the known murders in London in 1888 to build a picture of society. Who were the victims? How did they live, and how did they die? Why did a husband batter his wife to death after she failed to get him a cup of tea? How many died under the wheels of a horse-driven cab? Just how dangerous was London in 1888?

Book Synopsis Murder Capital by : Amy Bell

Download or read book Murder Capital written by Amy Bell. This book was released on 2016-05-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murder Capital is a historical study of unexpected deaths whose circumstances required official investigation in mid-twentieth-century London. Suspicious deaths – murders in the family and by strangers, infanticides and deaths from illegal abortions – reveal moments of personal and communal crisis in the social fabric of the city. The intimate details of these crimes revealed in police investigation files, newspaper reports and crime scene photographs hint at the fears and desires of people in London before, during and after the profound changes brought by the dislocations of the Second World War. By setting the institutional ordering of the city against the hidden intimate spaces where crimes occurred and were discovered, the book presents a new popular history of the city, in which urban space circumscribed the investigation, classification and public perceptions of crime.

Book Synopsis Murders of London by : David Long

Download or read book Murders of London written by David Long. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Taking 60 of the city's most fascinating and most infamous murders from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, David Long visits the scene of each crime and tells the story of what happened to whom, at whose hands, and -- where known -- why. Hot on the heels of Jack the Ripper and Lord Lucan we stalk the dimly lit alleyways of Whitechapel and the well-heeled streets of Belgravia; Ruth Ellis takes us to a pub in Hampstead and Alexander Litvinenko's assassins to a sushi bar in Piccadilly. Less well-known murderers haunt bridges and tube stations, hotels and theatres, but more often than not ordinary-looking roads and buildings whose gruesome past is almost forgotten. We find out what drove people to dark and violent acts, how crimes were discovered and mysteries solved. Above all, we track the evolution of a city whose underworld has always had a strange power to frighten and yet entertain. Featuring maps and photos to help you plan your own murder walk, Murderous London is the perfect guide to the city's shadiest, most enigmatic haunts"--Publisher's description.
