Book Synopsis Greater London Murders by : Linda Stratmann
Download or read book Greater London Murders written by Linda Stratmann and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compendium brings together thirty-three murderous tales — one from each of the capital's boroughs — that not only shocked the City but made headline news across the country. Throughout its history the great urban sprawl of Greater London has been home to some of the most shocking murders in England, many of which have made legal history. Contained within the pages of this book are the stories behind these heinous crimes. They include George Chapman, who was hanged in 1903 for poisoning three women, and whom is widely suspected of having been the notorious serial killer Jack the Ripper; lovers Edith Thompson and Frederick Bywaters, executed for stabbing to death Thompson's husband Percy in 1922; and Donald Hume, who was found not guilty of the murder of wealthy businessman Stanley Setty in 1949, but later confessed to killing him, chopping up his body and disposing of it by aeroplane. Linda Stratmann also reveals previously unpublished information that sheds a whole new light on the infamous Craig and Bentley case. This carefully researched, well-illustrated and enthralling text will appeal to those interested in the history of Greater London's history and true-crime fans alike.

Download or read book 1888 written by Peter Stubley and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1888 Jack the Ripper made the headlines with a series of horrific murders that remain unsolved to this day. But most killers are not shadowy figures stalking the streets with a lust for blood. Many are ordinary citizens driven to the ultimate crime by circumstance, a fit of anger or a desire for revenge. Their crimes, overshadowed by the few, sensational cases, are ignored, forgotten or written off. This book examines all the known murders in London in 1888 to build a picture of society. Who were the victims? How did they live, and how did they die? Why did a husband batter his wife to death after she failed to get him a cup of tea? How many died under the wheels of a horse-driven cab? Just how dangerous was London in 1888?
Download or read book Murder Capital written by Amy Bell and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murder Capital is a historical study of unexpected deaths whose circumstances required official investigation in mid-twentieth-century London. Suspicious deaths – murders in the family and by strangers, infanticides and deaths from illegal abortions – reveal moments of personal and communal crisis in the social fabric of the city. The intimate details of these crimes revealed in police investigation files, newspaper reports and crime scene photographs hint at the fears and desires of people in London before, during and after the profound changes brought by the dislocations of the Second World War. By setting the institutional ordering of the city against the hidden intimate spaces where crimes occurred and were discovered, the book presents a new popular history of the city, in which urban space circumscribed the investigation, classification and public perceptions of crime.
Download or read book Murders of London written by David Long and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Taking 60 of the city's most fascinating and most infamous murders from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, David Long visits the scene of each crime and tells the story of what happened to whom, at whose hands, and -- where known -- why. Hot on the heels of Jack the Ripper and Lord Lucan we stalk the dimly lit alleyways of Whitechapel and the well-heeled streets of Belgravia; Ruth Ellis takes us to a pub in Hampstead and Alexander Litvinenko's assassins to a sushi bar in Piccadilly. Less well-known murderers haunt bridges and tube stations, hotels and theatres, but more often than not ordinary-looking roads and buildings whose gruesome past is almost forgotten. We find out what drove people to dark and violent acts, how crimes were discovered and mysteries solved. Above all, we track the evolution of a city whose underworld has always had a strange power to frighten and yet entertain. Featuring maps and photos to help you plan your own murder walk, Murderous London is the perfect guide to the city's shadiest, most enigmatic haunts"--Publisher's description.
Download or read book Capital Crimes written by Max Decharne and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-09-20 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over seven centuries London has changed dramatically - from walled medieval settlement to bustling modern metropolis. But throughout its history there has been one inescapable constant: murder. It winds through the heart of the capital as surely as the River Thames. Capital Crimes tells the story of crime and punishment in the city, from the killing of infamous 'questmonger' Roger Legett during the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 through to the hanging of Styllou Christofi in 1954. Along the way we encounter such shocking characters as railway murderer Franz Muller, the ‘baby farmers’ of Finchley and the notorious political assassin John Bellingham. Some are well known, some obscure; the lives and fates of all, however, have much to tell us, providing a glimpse into the workings of London’s mysterious underworld and reminding us that dark deeds are not so far removed from everyday life as we would perhaps like to believe.
