lesapandre Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Isn't that "do you know of a house with an unusual amount of plod outside?" Now demolished of course. There is a whole additional thread here of infamous houses still standing. But in the nastiest cases they demolish the building and occasionally rename the street. Notice in the second picture the house number has disappeared - wonder if that was taken by a souvenir hunter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_FM Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I remember a Renault 14 in some news footage of Dennis Nilsen's flat being cleared out by the police. As well as the Corsairs, Peter Sutcliffe owned a Morris Minor, Ford Capri, Sunbeam Rapier & Rover 3500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ITV adaption of the story a couple of years ago was pretty good, lots of early 80s shite featured, although the Jeremy Bamber character drove a MkI Astra GTE rather than an XR3.

bunglebus Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Everyone knows Ted Bundy drove a beige Beetle and lured several of his victims inside. However it was stealing a different Beetle that lead to his arrest and discovery of his crimes The owner ^ eventually got it back, drove it for a few months then sold it. Currently AWOL unlike his beige one which is in a museum Eyersey1234 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrisoxide Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 This springs into mind with old car shite and crimes. The Freddie Mills' (Champion Boxer) Citroen DS. He was the one of the main suspects for being Jack the stripper (aka Hammersmith nude murders) and Epsteined his self whilst sat in the DS. Another story or perhaps the same story, says he was shot by one of the Kray twins. Eyersey1234 and warren t claim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly at the time he had a black BMW 316, which lived on for a few years after he was captured, presumably as he still owed the finance on it. warren t claim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the book it says it was taken by detectives to avoid anyone keeping it as a momento. The farm at Berkeley is still standing albeit derelict despite there being substantial evidence that there are bodies there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeeExEll Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Cannan was given 3 life sentences (three) in 1988 for murders and rapes But apparently he's 'eligible for release' from prison in October this year, in 5 months' time. FFS, put the cell-key in the bin and switch off the light. You wouldn't want him living next door. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cannan https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Suzy_Lamplugh Banger Kenny and ETCHY 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes she had collected the spare wheel with a new tyre fitted the day before the murder, the garage had written the car registration on the wheel. The police believe Janice stopped in a lay by on the A1 in Cambridgeshire to change a wheel due to a puncture as the unused spare was now fitted to the car. Her body was found near to the lay by but the Alfetta was found parked in London. The punctured wheel has never been found. warren t claim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martc Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Not a vehicle used in a crime, but a vehicle used to transport criminals. For the curious, the following text accompanied the photo... The Old Bailey, January 1945. Outside a bricked-up Central Criminal Court (Old Bailey), people queue to get a much in demand seat at the trial of the “Cleft Chin Murderers”. The cleft chin murder was a killing which occurred as part of a string of crimes during 1944. It became known as the "cleft chin murder" because the murder victim, George Edward Heath, a taxi driver, had a cleft chin. The culprits were Karl Hultén, a deserter from the U.S. Army, and Elizabeth Jones, an eighteen-year-old waitress.On 3 October 1944, Jones met Hultén in a tea shop. The relationship lasted only six days. During that time they knocked over a nurse cycling along a country lane and robbed her; picked up a hitchhiker, knocked her unconscious, robbed her, and then threw her into a river to drown (though she survived); finally, they murdered taxi driver George Edward Heath near Staines in Middlesex. They robbed Heath of £8, which they spent at the dog races the next day. After spending the taxi driver's £8, Jones announced she wanted a fur coat. Hultén attacked a woman in the street and tried to snatch her coat, but the police came and Hultén only just managed to escape in the stolen taxi driver’s car. He was eventually caught because the car was still in his possession. In the meantime Jones had gone to the police and admitted to the crimes, to ease her conscience. During the trial they implicated each other. They were both found guilty of murdering Heath and were sentenced by Mr Justice Charles to be hanged. While Hultén was executed at Pentonville Prison on 8 March 1945, Jones was reprieved and released in May 1954. Her subsequent fate is unknown, although there are reports of her death occurring in 1980. The reprieve caused some controversy, because many people considered the crimes to be cowardly, and in a war-torn Britain where everyone was pulling together to face a common enemy, almost treasonous. "SHE SHOULD HANG" was graffitied in several places in Jones's home town. warren t claim, CaptainBoom, Dyslexic Viking and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
