- The extraordinary tale of deceitful compulsive liar John Christie, who murdered six women and stored them in his home in Rillington Place between 1943-53. Christie initially framed his neighbour, Timothy Evans, who was consequently hanged for the supposed murder of his wife and child, leading to a strong public outcry upon discovery and the eventual abolition of capital punishment.

This case shows just how badly the combination of a confession, a jury, and the death penalty can go. RIP Tim Evans.
Damn the man that’s 96 years old looks like he’s in better health than me, I’m only 57. God bless him.
God bless you too. Love from Switzerland 🇨🇭
The fact that the killer invited the police in his room for a chat was a challenge of his power
I also feel like when he put his wife on the floor; it became more like a companion to talk to visually about his days rather than keeping her like the rest of the victims, just like in the back of his mind
How did they not smell the decaying bodies?
OMG I feel sorry for Timothy Evans, he was only 25 y.o, when was hanged, because of false accusation. On top of that lost his wife and daughter prior his sentence. This is really sad, I watch alot serial killers documentaries, this one by far the cruelest thing I ever watched. 😭😢
I have same opinion 🥲
damn that 96 year old man aged so well
Seriously, these men using the word, "intercourse", when referring to the rapes Christie committed, is a large part of why rapists refer to rapes as, sex or intercourse. Rape, is a violent violation, and it's misogynistic to continue to call it intercourse or sex.
This! 😒
Whining over words is pathetic
@@clivebaxter6354 words have meanings for a reason, rape isn't sexual intercourse. Intercourse implies consent.
@@ariadneschild8460 How can someone who's dead consent to sex? If we're all talking about terminology here, it should be given its correct name of necrophilia.
Don't they censor "rape" on here now even? Thanks RUclips, you eradicated rape by simply banning the word. No word, no problem.
We shall see. Only the OP can see my replies anyways since they are hidden.
I buried my dead dog in the garden and could smell it for months. I couldn’t imagine putting a full human under the floor. How could you breath?
Yes, was wondering what his wife was going to make of the strange odor upon her return. The easiest way to preserve a body, seems te be chucking into a freezer.
*breathe
Imagine John Gaceys place or Jeff Dahmers! 🤢
@tessaducek5601 there was another ex black marine. He had like 8 bodies in his house just under trash
That's exactly what I'm trying to figure out!
How has the conviction of Evans not been quashed? That's ridiculous.
What an awful series of events.
Really sad 😢 for the innocent man.
Timothy Evans was one of three known innocent people whom was hanged by orders of the British judicial system that led to the UK stopping the death penalty all together.
Furthermore after one was sentenced to death in the UK, hangings was done exactly three Sundays from and after the conviction date therefore the UK government was wrong doing that with not letting the chance for appeals to assure that they truly had the guilty person in question.
@@RickyL305 Not true, Timothy Evans was convicted of the murder of his daughter and sentenced to death on 13th January 1950. His appeal to the Court of Appeal was dismissed and he was executed on 9th March 1950. The three Sundays between sentencing and execution was the minimum time, and everyone was entitled to an appeal, it just happened a lot quicker in those days.
@@janetpendlebury6808 ... Okay then the three Sundays was still in effect according to you but not in his case, I wonder now about the other two known cases that I comes to mind for me before the capitol punishment was banned. I wish the UK still had it as well as the EU of course only for the most serious cases.
@@janetpendlebury6808 ... Derek Bentley and Ruth Ellis came to mind however a less known executions was upon , Peter Allen, Gwynn Evans, Mahmood Mattan in which are still questionable without their bodies being turned over to their families without pardons from my memory but can be wrong. But it does sound like major issues arose within the judicial system. I really feel bad for Timothy Evans and Derek Bentley the most though out of all of them.
Well poor innocent man and also poor EIGHT innocent women no?
Dark empty crossed eyes...He killed Timothy Evans (indirectly) also, may the victims rest peacefully.
Wow! I hope to look that good at 96! Just wow 🌟

A man by the name of James Hanratty was hung in the '60's and I can remember my mum telling me that she always believed he was innocent, as did his family and a lot of supporters. However, in the early 2000's, DNA tests seemed to proved that he was actually guilty, although there were accusations of cross-contamination, as well as aberrations during the original trial. Tough luck in those days, if you were innocent.
@@sheilaboston7051... That was way before my time and I actually never heard about him at all. I sincerely appreciate you bringing the case up to my attention and others. I no longer reside in the UK though my daughter's are there and they plan on moving to Florida where I am today. I totally agree with you that it was a lot tougher back then for people proving their innocence. From my understanding that is how it was in America as well back in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Thankfully with technology the years less innocent people are sentenced to death. I was raised between England and the United States myself since birth and my mum also mentioned exact what your mum did about several cases. I actually went to school in Florida with someone that was a close childhood friend who is still sitting on death row today in Florida.
He was a good kid when we were in school together and after I went to uni he ended up being involved with the wrong group of people stealing cars and what not. His name is Michael Allan Griffin from Dade county Florida in Miami. Now there is a state law that can change his sentence down to life in prison instead of being sentenced to death. That case is going on today however in the late 1980s after stealing a car, him and two of his associates fled from two metro Dade police officers if one was to read the reports where Michael had also stolen a gun in the same crime, he severely injured one police officer in the shoot out with being charged with attempted murder in that situation and he killed that police officers partner who tried to do a traffic stop on the stolen vehicle. As mentioned he was a good kid prior to me going to uni where I lost contact with him and his family as I did not realize that he was arrested for the crimes and his family had moved residency. As you mentioned it was much harder times back then prior to the advancement in DNA and other technology. In regards to Michael, he is still on death row today and one would of thought that after that long period of time since the 1980s that the state would have already executed him but it never occurred.
Colin Wilson wrote a very good account on this. The police were so inept on one visit to the house a gate was propped open with a human thigh bone!
RIP Timothy, Geraldine and Beryl🙏🙏🙏You are all together in the Almighty's house of eternal bliss and rest.
The eyes 👀. Look very evils. Scary. Yes real sad. For the innocent man.
3:00 Got called "Reggie NoDick" one too many times.. became a serial killer. Lmao
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Real Crime✔
11:05 ......uhh.... an unconscious woman, is still a living and breathing woman... and to think an English man made such a flub lol
So many look similar to John List.
First : the police handled very poorly the forensic evidences..
2nd : Such injustice for Evans. RIP.
Thank God Christie was hanged. Justice served !
He is, don't worry...after 70 some years. It's safe to assume , he is and been. After all that's what dead people., do. Do they not?
It's sick a woman did all that
Good morning, and Thank You for the video!
RIP Tim Evans.
I can't deal with these sick bastards who hurt or kill children
Too bad you can't unhang a man.
Nothing annoys me more than these so called criminal specialists always blaming childhood trauma for everything. I am a victim of child abuse and I mean beating with metal rods, chains, sticks, starvation, dark room etc the whole lot but I ain't no serial killer. Yes childhood trauma changes brain connections and stress response but not morality. Although I must admit I can be absolutely cold blooded and ruthless when it comes to protecting me and my children🤔. However that's a normal response of a mother.
They do not use the trauma as an excuse, but as an explanation of why someone is like they are. Not everyone handles or deals with trauma the same, so saying because you did not turn into a murderer no one will. is like saying because I fell out of a tree and did not break any bones, no one will. It just proves that trauma in childhood needs to be addressed and those kids that are psychopathic or sociopaths need to be identified and helped before they turn into criminals or murderers.
It is important to recognize the obvious patterns that exist, and not to use them as an excuse, but to try to prevent them from happening.
no, we don't go on to be murderers. We hide our pain and trauma yet it comes out in other ways, like not being able to cry, inappropriate laughter , cringing from sudden movement and hyper-vigilance, etc. We see and remember how we felt and try to not pass that crap onto our kids, yet it still oozes out in how we are or are not affectionate. At 63 I am still 'getting over it'.
Believe one has the choice whether to give in to the temptation to commit sinful behaviour; or to otherwise flee from it. To start off: There is the matter of forgiveness, and therefore not developing a root of bitterness (which could defile many).
When continuously sinning willfully, the conscience is seared. Then one is increasingly given over to destruction through harmful thoughts and actions (as is noted in Romans 1). Some explain it as being demonised (harrassed, enslaved, and tormented) by evil spirits, who gain legal spiritual rights over those who persist in sinning.
And nothing annoys me more than comment like yours Mam.. It's called behavioral analysis
I've heard different versions about this serial killer. The thing that nobody mentions is how he got away with putting the bodies under the slats in the floor... WHAT ABOUT THE SMELL? It had to have been horrendous and definitely noticable. Nobody said anything?
How about we talk about how the cops could have put anything in it and he wouldn’t know cause the poor man was illiterate
He was known as "Can't do it Christie or Reggie Nodick"
Narrator: His Wife was plain and homely.
All through time, this guy couldn't catch a break.
There's a face to the voice?!?!?!
....in attendance from +254
wild that he was incompetent when he did not have power over a lady but very much the opposite when he was in power. he only had a hard on of his narcissistic self
This video must be fairly old, since the term intercourse was used instead of rape, or sexual assault.
Is anyone else sick to death of the term 'vulnerable' to describe anyone with an obviously dubious lifestyle that puts them in harm's way? When I was a girl at school in the 1960s we knew 'bad 'uns' when we saw them: the girls who ran around with older men, who drank and smoked, who made OUR lives a misery with bullying. Now they're all vulnerable apparently. We used to call them tarts. Times have changed.
Tim Roth was brilliant in that part
I didn't realize it was his wife's body under neath the floor board, ha ha "
The freak murdered poor Evans, too.
Suuuure! Who's guilty? The experienced girl! If no one would have made him believe that being male meant getting constant and total obedience from his sisters, well, who knows....
Although he's an evil person I mean he did do something that no one else probably could do. He murdered the man's wife then got the man to confess to it and he was the star witness in the prosecution. Not only did a double cross the man he triple crossed him.
Too bad no one thought of Tim the way they did this creep. If a killer has such a weird brain why didn't they search Tim's brain?
Sporadic sex does not mean no kids 😂. How many kids have been born from one night stands? Christie’s wife, Ethel (RIP) was probably infertile.
He sounds similar to the Golden Glove murderer
Spinster?
Ironically his wife, whose murder he was convicted of, was not at all an innocent victim, after committing all those abortions.
No, it's not good but it's a fact of life - that is what happens when safe, legal abortions aren't available (as many States in America will soon possibly start finding out ... again.)
@@sheilaboston7051
'safe and legal'... 'Safe' certainly not for the poor babies who are destroyed. Violence (including against women and children) in general escalates whenever it is viewed as 'legal' to execute the weakest members of a society.
True evil.
Why does this sound so familiar? Was this same story told under a channel of another name? I really get annoyed with this happening! It's getting to-where I can tell these stories better than you can. Just saying...
Don't marry your own sister or brother.
His sisters did all the killing
IT WASN'T FAIR !!!!!!!! POOR TIMOTHY !!!!!!! 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM SUCKS !!!!!!!
Abolish the death penalty globally.
Yeah so you can murder anyone without any fear of death sentence
