    I remember my parents and my two older sisters discussing this case that had occurred not far from our house at Teddington Lock in 53. I was too young to understand much but I recall a feeling of fear and concern. Now I understand what that was all about. Thank you Real Crime.

    In the first frames of this vid, you see a young woman walking along a path alone. You’re then shown a man who uncovers an axe, but before he can use it, another couple appear on the path. He then decides to not attack the lone woman. I wonder how many people have, unknown to themselves, escaped being murdered or attacked by the skin of their teeth.

    Murder maps is one of the best shows EVER! I look forward to these episodes SO much...everything from the story to the actors, to that fantastic host/announcer...This show is so incredibly done that it captures my attention every time...and I usually watch each episode a couple of times...and I don't do that with many other programs,but this one is SO good that I find myself fascinated with each new episode! PLEASE keep making more of these Murder maps!!!! Nicholas Day RULES!

    This series is one of my favourites. That last sentence, with the music, sent a chill down my spine and brought the tears to my eyes.
    It's worth noting about the case that after Whiteway's execution, a series of attacks on women that had been going on for some time suddenly ceased. So it's very likely that the police did convict the right man.

  • @coldchillin8382

    • @SussexSauvignonRedVino
      @SussexSauvignonRedVino 4 месяца назад +1

      I have read a lot about this case. Even though I believe Whiteway was guilty, both the confession and the miraculous recovery of the so-called murder weapon when police need to find it but couldn't scream of fabricated evidence. The police staged all of their case against him because of gut feelings of his guilt they could not prove.

    • @tl-dr_thisuserna
      @tl-dr_thisuserna 4 месяца назад +4

      I know… at the end there was def a strong implication that the confession likely was coerced, or at least obtained in a less straightforward way than the cops presented. I think the guy did it but that doesn’t negate the fact that the case was totally mishandled. The axe’s chain of custody was a joke and the head detective believed that the ends always justify the means, calling *everything* he did into question. I dunno.

    I'm really glad they chose the reenactment style that realizes it doesn't have to go into detail of the violent acts to get the points across. The blend of actual crime scene photos, evidence is perfect mix with the acting. I usually don't like reenacting because I don't care to see a actor play out violent acts. I'm more into analysis of the evidence and details and actual crime scene photos, I can handle twisted things it's just the acting out violence seems unnecessary to me to grasp the concept and criminal behavior. So it's just a pet peeve with reenactments then "not liking disturbing stuff" I'm all for learning intense shit. Anyways this show surprised me with how well they did this.

      In those days, the Police were held in high regard, even though they played fast and loose with the rules at the time. Because of this as years went by, legislation was passed to tighten up the rules and how the Police conduct themselves. Unfortunately there seems to be more corruption nowadays than ever before. Terribly depressing.

      We already know that Whiteway had an established reputation for throwing these things. An axe is heavy and has a large blade. If you are skilled at throwing one I don't think it would be that difficult to kill someone.

    Ha ha i hid an axe in a police car too. They picked us up for burglary and i had it on me. Put it underneath the cop's seat who was sitting in front of me. They interrogated us and i just took it back when they dropped us off afterwards. Needless to say i was pleased....:😂😂😂

    Just a minor error in the use of the past tense in the intro, here, let me fix it: "For many centuries London has been a dangerous place."

    Interesting learning about these brutal, tragic murders in the midst of coronation preperations. After the war young folk just wanted to have some fun, perhaps regain a bit of innocence and this brute kills...

    I guess the people who were killed by lightning had never been taught that it is extremely unsafe to stand under a tree during a storm. Lesson learned, unfortunately. Now I'm waiting to see if anyone asks why it is bad idea to take shelter under a tree which is probably the tallest structure in the vicinity, during a storm. ®.

    The fact that there were no more crimes of that nature suggests that he was guilty as charged. The possibility that police may have verballed him is a worry though.

    This whole thing is as fishy as hell. No murder weapon, no blood on his clothes even though the girls had multiple stab wounds and something they didn't mention. The defence theorised that the perpetrator stole one of the girls bikes to get away, its never been found to this day. The guy was riding home on his own bike. Why would he need another? And how do you ride 2 bikes at the same time?

    Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
    Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
    Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
    Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
    Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea !"
    Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
    Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
    Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
