The story

In 1944, John Christie murders an acquaintance called Muriel Eady. He lures her to his West London flat at 10 Rillington Place by promising to cure her bronchitis with a "special mixture", then incapacitates her with town gas, strangles her with a piece of rope, and (it is implied) has sex with her corpse. He buries her in his flat block's communal garden, and whilst digging the grave he accidentally uncovers Ruth Fuerst, one of his previous victims.
