John Christie (murderer)
John Reginald Halliday Christie( 8 April 1899 – 15 July 1953), known to his family and friends as Reg Christie, was an English serial killer and necrophile from Halifax, who was active during the 1940s and early 1950s.
He murdered at least eight people – including his wife, Ethel – by strangling them in his flat at 10 Rillington Place, Notting Hill, London.
Christie moved out of Rillington Place during March 1953; soon afterward the bodies of three of his victims were discovered hidden in a wallpaper- covered alcove in the kitchen.
Two further bodies were discovered in the garden, and his wife's body was found beneath the floorboards of the front room.
Christie was arrested and convicted of his wife's murder, for which he was hanged.
Two of Christie's victims were Beryl Evans and her baby daughter Geraldine, who, along with Beryl's husband, Timothy Evans, were tenants at 10 Rillington Place during 1948 – 49.
This case sparked huge controversy after Timothy was charged with both murders, found guilty of the murder of his daughter and hanged in 1950.
Christie was a major prosecution witness; when his own crimes were discovered three years later, serious doubts were raised about the integrity of Timothy's conviction.
Christie himself subsequently admitted killing Beryl, but not Geraldine; it is now generally accepted that Christie murdered both Beryl and Geraldine and that police mishandling of the original inquiry, as well as their incompetence during searches at the house, allowed Christie to escape detection and enabled him to murder four more women.
The High Court, when overturning the conviction in the Evans case during the 2000s, accepted that Timothy did not murder either his wife or his child, and that a miscarriage of justice therefore occurred when he was hanged.
