Description
xA new suspect emerges, linking Motive, Method, and Opportunity to the unsolved Hammersmith murders.
The Hammersmith Nude Murders is the name of a series of six murders in West London, England, in 1964 and 1965. The victims, all sex workers, were found undressed in or near the River Thames. Two earlier murders, committed in West London in 1959 and 1963, have also been linked by some investigators to the same perpetrator.
There have been at least eight other publications covering these crimes, with speculation about who was responsible, but none conclusively identifying any individual.
Despite intense media interest and one of the biggest manhunts in Scotland Yard's history, the case is unsolved. Forensic evidence gathered at the time is believed to have been destroyed or lost.
In this book the authors have identified a viable new suspect who had the Method, Motive and Opportunity to have committed these murders. He was a minder in the illegal drinking dens, both The Tennis Club and The Jazz Club, a taxi driver from Notting Hill who in 1964 moved to a flat at 3 Amelia House off Queen Caroline Street just half a mile from where Hannah Tailford was found in The Thames, he rubbed shoulders with the last 5 victims, whose Fiancé was a hairdresser to at least five of the victims and who enjoyed forced deep fellation; a fetish that the lead officer, Chief Superintendent John Du Rose identified as the cause of asphyxiation to each of the victims.
