Christie was one twisted individual but apparently, had you known him, you wouldn't have guessed what his sick hobby was as he hid beneath a cloak of respectability, and managed to send innocent Timothy Evans to the hangman; accused of two murders that he himself committed. His modus operandi was to gas and strangle his victims; raping them either whilst they were unconscious or ante-mortem. His house was literally bleeding bodies, as he hid them within the fabric of his home.
Amazingly, tenants continued to occupy 10 Rillington Place even after Christie had been hanged in 1953, right up to the time of its demolition (which took place in the early 1970s.) By that time it had been re-named Ruston Close. The whole area was rebuilt, to a different geographical layout, possibly to stop macabre people like myself going to see the location.
Come and take a walk in my shoes down Bartle Road, and I'll show you what's there now.
As you know, I will always be a writer before anything else, and my 10 Rillington Place blog can be found here:-
