When Timothy Evans met John Reginald Christie his fate, like many others, was sealed. However, while Christie would be revealed to be a serial killer, his involvement in the Evans' death was less direct.
His crimes at 10 Rillington Place, Notting Hill, live on in infamy. So heinous were his acts that years later the entire street would be razed to the ground.
Today we explore this case and the lives he tragically cut short.

People understandably focus on the evil Mister Christie. Unfortunately, they tend to overlook the police who railroaded poor Mister Evans. The botched investigation was bad enough, but cops who deliberately coerce confessions deserve the severest punishment. They are far more numerous than the odd serial killer, and almost always unaccountable

It’s rlly sad though that he was blinded by his anger and would continue letting the true killer completely deceive him, which is what got his sister, niece, brother in-law and many other folks murdered.

The fact Christe actually admitted to the murder of Beryl, and then only retracted when Evan's mother begged him to also admit to the baby, literally seals his guilt, without taking the fact he was a prolific serial killer in to account... So i think Beryl's brother is in denial, he clearly didn't like Evans and very much liked Christie, so i think it's this fact and an understandable large amount of grief that's led to his denial at refusing to believe anyone other than Evans killed his sister, let alone Christie... Very sad and creepy story, but well told as always

After 10 Rillington Place was demolished, there was a makeshift memorial, right next to the Westway flyover, which strides across the site. My aunt pointed out to me in the mid-70s, a large crucifix mounted onto the gabled end of what remained of Rillington Place. That has also gone now, but her retelling of the story really gave me the creeps at the time.

I think Beryl’s brother is completely in denial - it’s clear as a polar summer day Robert Evans’ confession was fake and coerced through violence and John Christie was the one who kill3d both Beryl and Geraldine - because otherwise Peter would have to admit (to himself first) he has made a terrible mistake.

No he wasnt in denial Timothy Evans was abusive physically to Geraldine. He should know he was there plenty times witnessing their arguements. John Evans was a pathological liar, but one of his warders had no doubt he murdered his baby and wife, he admitted it before he was executed, he even mentioned it to another prisoner. There were bruises all over Beryls body, not mentioned during the trial, he was an abusive drunkard, and even a psychiatrist mentioned he was an inadequate psychopath. John Christie gassed his victims. There was no need to subdue them, before he strangled and raped them. There was no sign of gas in Beryls body during the autopsy or signs of an abortion. Her husband strangled her after one of their arguements probably over money, and he murdered Geraldine because he couldnt handle her crying. John Christie helped him hiding the bodies, because he would not have wanted the police to come to house, as he had bodies in kitchen living room and garden

What isn't mentioned here is that this case helped bring about an end to the death penalty in the UK. I think there were only 2 more executions after Christie's. I agree with the condemnation of police conduct that led to the conviction of an innocent person, but some responsibility falls on Evan's attorney. BTW, Mr.Ballen also has a video about this case.

No wonder so many turned to crime including prostitution. Whitechapel is another case; and the stories by Charles Dickens. Thanks to modern videos we are getting quite educated about reasons behind criminal behavior. And we are very well informed that the majority did not turn to crime.

I didn't know Beryl's brother still considered Evans the murderer of his sister and niece even after several inquiries showed a serious miscarriage of justice just because he remembers the Christie's foundly and doesn't remember his brother-in-law foundly. It really goes to show how much nostelgia can affect a person's perception even when faced with hard facts and evidence you've been blaming the wrong person for decades. He somehow made himself believe Evans had to have killed his sister and niece, even though he'd have to explain away 6 other bodies all killed before and after Evans lived there that were killed by Christie in the exact same fashion as Beryl and the baby, and disposed of in the exact same fashion as them as well; to solely blame Evans for the murder. I mean could he still blame Evans as having been a party to the murder along with Christie? Sure. But instead he decided "nope the Christie's where always nice to me so there is no reason a person that murdered people before and after my sister and niece were murdered in that exact same house would have had anything to do with her murder. It was all my shite head brother-in-law's doing Christie was on a Hiatus or something while my sister lived there!"

Hence, I can understand why some of them are hesitant of believing the police about the identities of the bodies and maybe doubts that Gacy actually killed their son.

I bet most do. You're putting to death so many people, yet it never stops. Murderers don't think "Oh, this guy was hanged so I better not murder". It's more like "This guy was hanged, so I better do a better job of hiding my victim's remains". Never underestimate the hubris of a sociopath. Though, sadly, most serial killers aren't even that good at covering up their crimes. They only seem to get away with it, for a while, because the investigators/police are terrible at their jobs; Not believing witnesses, missing evidence, honing in on one suspect and ignoring the obvious guilt of another suspect, losing evidence, etc, etc. Never underestimate the stupidity of an authority figure.

Yes, actually repeatedly killing people, even legally, and even if the prisoner deserved the death, has to do something to you over time. It must have really hit home that he had relatively recently executed Evans for the murder of his wife when he executed Christie, knowing that Christie confessed to being the one who actually killed Beryl. I thoroughly disagree with Pierrepoint's statement that he never saved a life. There is no possible way to know if capital punishment didn't stop someone from killing.

Didn't Ethel notice Beryl and the baby's bodies in the tiny wash house they used every day ? Did the Christie's dog not sniff out the bodies ? The wash house was literally feet away from the Christie's kitchen window and door ? Also didn't she ever notice the human femur bone propping up her garden fence ?

Ethel was probably terrified. You have no idea how an abusive man can effect control over his victim, even to the point where she believes escape is impossible and accepts her fate, and he could certainly make veiled, if not direct, threats.

Rest in Peace, Timothy Evans, you were a victim of the British Justice and Court of Law. You were convicted of something you didn’t do. I’m so sorry this happened to you, being pardoned hasn’t entirely justified what you had been through. Rest in peace, lad.

Beryl's brother saying Christie was like an uncle to him, he can't except him killing his sister. But overlooks all the other murders he did, just takes offence that his sister was another of his victims. He'd rather blame innocent husband, he's a bit twisted himself.

This story is so creepy. The film -- which was well done with amazing actors who brought their roles to life -- scared the crap out of me. That an innocent man died over this really distrurbed me. Evans was convicted and put to death simply by bias and prejudice.

Thank you so much for this episode. Of course, I grew up with this horrific story. I also have watched the film with Richard Attenborough, but you added so much more information that I knew nothing about. Your research into this case must have taken a long time. Also, growing up just down the Uxbridge Road, I know a lot of the places where he worked. Obviously, his childhood moulded the man, but that does not excuse his deeds. Thank you.

The film 10 Rillington Place was filmed on the real street and the exterior shots are of the actual house, for both the house and street were still standing, when the film was made.Shortly after the films release the street was demolished and built over.

I fail to see what made Christie so irresistible and believable. He was a small weak man , his crimes were heinous and the monster blamed Timothy Evans of the murder of his wife and baby, so really Christie was responsible for killing the whole family.

Christie was "unassuming and quiet." He was not stupid or mentally challenged in the same sense as the alcoholic Evans with his alleged 70 I.Q. Christie didn't "look" like a monster - most of them don't. He certainly wasn't attractive, IMO 🫤 My guess, in those days, he was "sympathetic" to the girls in desperate trouble... times we soooo different right after WWII. Knocked up and unmarried?

I never knew about, John Christie's, rampant murder spree, 'till I saw the Richard Attenborough portrayal, of John Christie's bio-pic; '10 Rhillington Place'. After viewing this I can say, the film was pretty close, to what actually unfolded.
