To anyone interested, I highly recommend the BBC mini series “Rillington Place” (2016). Tim Roth plays John Christie and his performance is chilling.
Thanx a lot, interesting story and I really like Tim Roth.
Thank you so much for that recommendation. I've just found it to watch online. Tim Roth is a wonderful actor and he plays troubled and disturbing characters so well.
Thanks 🙏
THANK YOU! God bless you, in Jesus’s Name! 🕊❤️🙏💜✝️✡️🙋♀️🌹
Thank you !
My Nana was from London. She came over to the USA in 1955, but before that she was working for the British airways. A coworker and her were looking for an apartment in London. They were both young ladies... they went to view an apartment from an older man and they got creeped out so they never took that one. They later found out there were bodies found in the guys floor and house. She believed it was christie. She couldn't remember for sure, by the time we were talking about it bc she was in her 90s.
The guy wasn't crazy.
He was EVIL .
At last. I've been looking out for this upload for quite a while now. Many thanks indeed. Edit: I was certainly not disappointed. An excellent insight to some of the horror stories, and people who committed them, or suffered them in the 1950s.
"When it became clear that Christie was responsible for the death of Beryl Evans, it was obvious that a huge judicial error had been made and that Timothy Evans could WELL have been innocent" um that means Timothy Evans WAS innocent.
Not according to the law. Despite having received a posthumous pardon in 1966, the guilty verdict has still never been formally quashed. In 2004, his sisters began an application for judicial review to have his conviction formally expunged & declared innocent. The request to refer the case was dismissed 3 days later, with the judges saying that the cost & resources of quashing his conviction "could not be justified" although they did accept that Evans did not murder either his wife or child. So you'll hear a lot of "he could WELL have been innocent" & "he PROBABLY didn't do it" because of the legal grey area there due to his record still being what it is.
The recipient of a posthumous pardon varies in some countries there have been two in Ireland in the last decade in a country with a written constitution the review of a case like this is not heard by the Supreme Court but by The Council of State after being referred there by The President, they will then grant the pardon, government or court has no involvement in the decision, three men hanged in the 1880s were proved innocent and a man wrongfully executed in 1931 were all posthumous recipients, there are other under review too ..The Government were to abolish the death penalty in 1922 but it was retained due to the Civil War until 1954...this sanction was totally removed in 2002 ..
What a top quality show. The actor who plays Christie is excellent.
I was thinking the same thing. It was so good I bet some people were freaked out about it.
@@saveriosalemme5366 Agreed! Just watching his scenes sends chills down my spine! 😬
Yes he is
@@saveriosalemme5366 a good keyboard with you on Monday to Thursday at
The actor on Evans' role was great, too.
Murder Maps has become one of my favorites. It reminds me of another of my favs ,” A Crime to Remember.” Excellent work.
Thank you for the information. yes, these programs are excellent.
6:31 Funny, 'rilling' means 'shiver' in dutch.
Excellent channel, always high quality. Thank you. 🌺
Glad the bastard was finally punished. Timothy Evans didn't deserve the suffering he went through because of this man
Christie is played by Carl Heap - brother of Mark Heap, one of my favourite comedic actors
Mark Heap is hilarious. Fantastic to know his brother is the one playing Christie in this documentary.
The presenter and the actors are divine! Thank you so much for these uploads! They are so welcome!
Best wishes from Uruguay, Southamerica
People like Christie have no conscience no remorse
I'm addicted to Murder Maps 😩
Loving every minute of the show
The narrator gives a Michael Caine's vibes
The narrator/presenter is English actor Nicholas Day.
The narrator sounds exactly nothing lile sir Michael Caine
Richard Attenborough plays Christie and John Hurt plays Timothy Evans in the 1971 Movie '10 Rillington Place.' The remake 'Rillington Place' with Tim Roth is a glossier version but depicts Christies' hypochondria well.
This channel is great!! Thanks for these great shows!!
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
Great music, supporting this documentary!!!
Upon discovering a body, the police always say that they came across the unmistakable odor of decomposition. Y'all seem to have squirreled away a lot of bodies in cupboards & under floor boards. How in gawds name did people not notice the stench?!? ( not just speaking about this one, but how it seems to have been a common practice for killers)
Its honestly crazy, the stench from a body is superior to all else. You can tell that it is something decaying. Honestly nuts how some neighbors misread the terrible odor…
@@justok9568 yep, first time I ever smelt it was on the street, a homeless man had died, body had been removed but a piece of cardboard he'd been sleeping on remained. Could smell it along the entire block! Never smelt anything that bad. Describe it like 100 dead rats, some kind of bile & odd chemical. Its nasty.
Christie must have doused the bodies in something to stop it.
There was no one else there to smell it, just Christie and his wife. Plus that area, at that time, was very run down and derelict, smells would have been commonplace.
@@janetpendlebury6808 -There are all kinds of smells in cramped, poverty stricken areas. Death is not in that category. The fact that the 2 if them would not be able to get that smell out of their own nostrils is horrifying. After awhile, they would reek of it to others. Nah, I can't buy that. If you're a non smoker & encounter a smoker, you smell it. If you aren't killing & hiding bodies too, you'd smell it.
@@loritracy1385 Who was going to smell it? there was no one else in the house, and there was long enough between each murder for the smell to dissipate a bit and believe me the sewer smells and smells from the railway were troublesome, I grew up in that area in the 50's and 60's. Also he had no visitors to the house. Even a policeman that went into the front room after Ethel was hidden under the floor boards noticed a smell but Christie gave a good enough excuse so as not to worry him. I do believe that he wife knew of what was going on though, and may even have participated in giving women abortions in the house.
When John Christie was being led to the gallows he tried taking small steps to delay his execution Albert Pierrepoint dragged him to the noose..pulled the lever sending John Christie to the Flames below
Where do you get your info from? All I can find out is that after being pinioned for execution, Christie complained that his nose itched. Pierrepoint assured him that, "It won't bother you for long" Even if he was dragged, which I doubt, Pierrepoint would not have done it, a prison officer would have. Plus no flames in the pit under the noose.
To be honest I don't think we will ever know what people said in British Executions, there was a formula prescribed by law. Some executioners did write books after retirement but passed little comment on the executed, Pieerpoint I understand only became known to the general public during the Nuremburg Trials, his face was only known in 1945 even though he had executed people with his uncle Tom and carried out his first execution in 1932 in Dublin for the Irish Free State.
@@johncahalane7327 He certainly despatched a lot of people during his career, then ran a pub- I bet he had a few tales to tell to his customers!
@@janetpendlebury6808 Actually it was never spoken about in point of fact early on he actually hanged one of his regular bar customers for murder, the UK at any one time especially pre WW2 had up to six trained hangmen, the execution warrant had to be carried out at the date and time prescribed by law, sentence could be quashed. Yes you were likely to get Albert Pierrepont but not necessarily, he was offered the contract which it was it was business, bottom line and the reason why he quit in 1956 a dispute over unpaid travel expenses. To answer you he seldom ever spoke about his part time position.
@@janetpendlebury6808 But there are plenty of flames in hell 😜
The auto subtitles sometimes are funny af.it turns "he got rid of ethel" into "he got rid of air force"😂😂😂
Couldn't have happened to a nicer fella.
10 Rilligton Place and the other row houses were demolished, new housing built and the name Rilligton Place was not ever used again because of the noteriety.
Omg!! I am loving this!! Such a well made show😁
One would think that he would stop it and lay low after having a front row seat to Evans conviction for capital murder.
Bloody brilliant show
Superb!!!
To sum up John Christie in three words: he's the devil
He really loved his wife? I don't think so.
I agree, I think he was just lonely and broke
Murder was afoot, i talk real country accent but afoot is my favorite word lol
Physiognomy never lies. Just look at that head.
Insanity and aged was his excuse to get away from the Law with his evil murderous deeds.
The family of the young man that was hanged for nothing was supposed to sue the government for millions, infact half a billion for that matter.
In 1950? In Britain? 1950 Britain?
Oh yeah
It's curious this murderer Christie was arrested on March 31 1953 your Queen was almost 27 and had been on the throne a year and Coronation was going to take place on June 4 or 5
Why is it curious?
He asked the killer if he knew what he used to strangled the victim ... 😐
He was living with dead bodies rotten and he acted normal like it wasn't strange the smell must have gut wrenching and the only thing that stopped him was he lost his murder house so where is going to do his killing now so he was 100 % insane and criminally insane if not arrested he couldn't have stopped himself.
The actor portraying John Christie was a little to convincing
The title, "Veteran Doctor Turns To Murder" is rather misleading. Christie was a WW1 Army veteran but he was not a doctor, and he certainly was not a "veteran doctor".
I still don't trust Doctors.
He wasn't a doctor.
You really have to pay to watch BBC over there still! That's crazy, a few commercials would pay for it and everyone would get it free. I'm at the point I'm not paying for invisible data anymore ever. Call me a pirate whatever
Why was this titled veteran Dr?
Is this the 2nd part?
Yes. The link for the first one is in the description.
It is nearly impossible to understand the second commentator.
Does the actor that plays Christie act on regular shows/movies? Don't recognize him.
Ruth was guilty. If she had been a man no one would remember
I know. I don’t get why she’s included 🤷🏻♀️
They remember bently and he was male... stop saying everything is gender related
And it a point that murder back in day regardless of circumstances was punished by death. And many women were hanged without sympathy from public.. making you lose a baby is justified though
What the f*** does it do any good to be pardoned 40 years after you're dead
It's very important for his family.
Nothing, political symbolism.
It may be some comfort to his descendants.
Exactly
Well if that's love count me out
My contact with these stories was in 1990 on a cold wet day I visited Madam Tusuards before the chamber of horror was removed and I'd seen 10 Rillington Place on tv, all three cases had replicas of the evidence, chilling, Christies glasses, the make shift cold tar tin sardine type box and the rubber hose connected to the gas main and the deck chair, next door was Haigs equipment, the brown shop coat, the rubber apron and the styrup pump and glass container containing the acid, the third was simply a vanity desk, powered puff, pearls, a revolver and picture of Ruth Ellis. I have no doubt that Christie killed many more women than eight, because of his sexual depravity it would have been too easy in wartime London, Haig on the other hand the motive was greed and money his six victims took cunning and more long term planning as for Ruth Ellis, jealousy was the trigger I am sure in 1955 the only reason she got the drop was she was that kind of woman then. Derek Bentley would never have been brought to trial today.I live in Ireland the last execution was 1954, there were 16 executions carried out from 1923 to 1954 of which at least 7 verdicts were unsafe there have been pardons of some about another 10 death sentences commuted until the final scrapping of the death sentence on even the reserved crimes was in 2002. It is something that has passed into history.
There were actually more than ten, I believe, to date.
The part that sickens me most about this entire story is that he loudly wept at Evan's sentencing. Ignorant people around him probably assumed it was disgust over the crime happening close to home
Only 2 Words for these Germs / BOOM BOOM / Firing Squad.
1022 since haigh was born🤯
why was dudes face so off centered?
Yes I agree with the first comment
Capital punishment should not be abolished.
Most civilized nations have decided otherwise.
@@renejean2523 100% agree. A death penalty is a primitive act of revenge, nothing else.
@@frantisekvtelensky820 - Exactly. It's not as though we don't share some of those emotions at times, but we know that you can't make laws and hand out justice based on those emotions such as revenge.
I am rather unsure about this issue. Just imagine your abuser breathing the same air as you with a possibility of coming out to the society again… due to pardon or escape. How would you feel? Would you be able to recover and live your life in peace? Knowing that anytime you’ll see them again…
@@renejean2523 this is a very terrible base for judgement lol. Most “civilized” nations have also decided on a lot of debauchery, doesn’t make it right either.
Capital punishment is necessary. You have convicted murderers making TikToks in jail. Some even coming out after only some years. And committing more crime in jail too
This is why the death penalty should be a no go
What?
💵
There is probably ten minutes of actual content here.
They did kind of get off topic a little with the other killers stories... I had to rewatch numerous parts because I thought I missed something but no, they were talking about somebody else.
💵💵✍👨💻
The eviction MORATORIUM crowd should all get voted out. They forced private citizens to pay rents for total strangers for 2 long years while they had to pay theirs also. The pains, the headaches that landlords have been going through are unfair. They did that just on the name of a mysterious disease that everyone had to go through
What in the world has that got to do with this program?!
It’s not just whites who are racist, that one thing all nationalities have in common.
Mostly whites though.
Even had to include wokeness
Yeah, highlighting racism back then is wokeness😐.
lo, You can't even define 'wokeness'.
Disappointing!! This program was too slow-paced and poorly edited!! The narrative of John Christie's life, as a murderer, was broken up, way too many times, by courtroom scenes from the future. The story would have been much more dramatic, and chillingly realistic, if they had shown John Christie actually putting the dead bodies under the floorboards, or behind the walls. The horrifying discovery of the bodies, by John Christie's tenants, also should have been shown. The failure to do this was, quite frankly, inexcusable. The man who played Christie did an excellent job. This fine performance, however, was not enough to save the program from mediocrity.
Shut up! This show is perfect.
