THE RATCLIFFE HWY MURDERS
About this episode
The Ratcliffe Hwy murders were attacks on two separate families-the Marr and Williamson families-living within a few blocks of each other in the East End of London-that resulted in 7 deaths. The attacks occurred only 7 days apart and were very similar, although no reason was ever given as to why the two families were chosen. Both were doing well in business, but no money was shown to have been stolen. the main suspect in the slayings, John Williams,was found hanged in jain before he could be put on trial. This crime has been followed by many but William's guilt was never absolutely provenand no motive has been assigned.
