John Christie

John Reginald Halliday Christie (April 8th 1898 - July 5th 1953) was a Serial killer British, active in the years 1940 and 1950. He was stopped, considered and hung for murder in 1953.

Before its arrest, it was implied in another business of murder, like principal witness for the Couronne. Timothy Evans, which was tenant in the same building that him, was shown murder of his own wife and her daughter, and consequently condemned and carried out for the murder of its baby. Certain detractors supposed that Christie had made the murders and then shown Evans. Others suggested that there could be two murderers living the same building at the same time. Lord Brabin declared in 1966 that it was " more probable than improbable" that Evans had killed his wife but whom it had not killed his/her Geraldine daughter. While neither innocence, nor the culpability of Evans for these crimes could be proven, not more than that of Christie, the business caused a strong indignation, and contributed to the suspension of the Capital punishment in Great Britain in 1965 (it was later completely abolished).
