Did anybody watch this last month, Professor David Wilson did a documentary on Welsh child killer Harold Jones from Abertillery, he murdered 2 little girls in 1921 but was not sentenced to hanging due to his age at the time, he had 20 years in prison then left to start a new life in London where they now suspect he was the infamous Jack The Stripper In the 1960's, the UK's most unsolved serial killer case which to this day is still open.
Fascinating documentary, Fred Dineage also did a murder case book on Harold Jones with Professor David Wilson and others discussing the murders, this was equally fascinating and goes to show evil will always walk among us all.

I don't think there's actually much evidence to implicate Jones either, just theorising years later . Yes he lived in the area along with about twelve million other people , in a city which sometimes doubles in population with tourists and commuters, and yes he was a homicidal b*stard. However, we have no idea whatsoever how many other killers were in the area at the time, or whether the culprit has done it before.
Interesting theory ,but no more than that.if the metropolitan police got it wrong at the time and we exclude all the other possibilities I've mentioned then it's possible I suppose, but very unlikely.
Another connected thing to consider... The man I've referred to who committed suicude, well some people think he was actually murdered by the Krays in retribution for his crimes. Urban myth perhaps , but the twins were certainly convinced that he was the culprit and were after him at the time.

I'd have pm'd it to you, but since someone's already said it and it's apparently all over the Internet , yes it was Freddy Mills. I've seen a file and spoke many years ago to one of the investigating officers, so I'm pretty satisfied it's not just a rumour or some bullshit from mad frankie to cash in on his TV image.
Apparently there were fingerprints and articles of clothing found in his effects after he died .

I hesitate to ask, but I'm interested how you can feel so certain about something which you can't have any evidence of.
Has some potty theory on a documentary really convinced you ?

Well he had previous for murder and people who kill before normally kill again. He lived within miles of all the murders totally under the radar. His own daughter said that he would disappear for days on end. He worked in the factory which had the paint which was found on their bodies. It sounds too me that you didnt watch it there was also similarities with the aber murders and the jack the stripper killings. The police didnt even know he was living in the area. Its only my opinion that i think it was him i dont know that though coz i wasnt there but that documentary convinced me. And since that they have reopend the case and he is now a suspect. A inspector that worked on the case was on there and he said the evidence on jones was strong.

Yes I watched it and I took all that on board . I don't think there was any Met D.I saying quite that though.
Thing is, that none of it is evidence . It's journalism which asserts that it's possible , and of course it is possible , but as I said earlier he was one of about 12 million people living in that area and I can assure you that there are and were plenty of other choice cunts living there too. It's not like finding out that there was a former murderer living in Llantwit Major when murders occurred there.
Incidentally , there would have been dozens of other murders there during the period , so why not try and put all of them down to Jones ?
Nice TV, but it's a non starter I'm afraid, but it does show how easy it is for a TV crew to make something sound credible.
When we say evidence, we mean something solid and legally admissible which we can present to a jury and convince them that there's no reasonable doubt that he killed them, not a few carefully picked and smoothly joined facts which make it sound possible .
Not having a go at you by the way, it's just that it's an interesting thing to chat about and I say this because some people here seem to get offended when you put the other point of view.

Didnt you see the detective that worked on the case in the 90s when it was reopened. He was on towards the end of the documentary they took him back to aber to show him all the evidence they had against jones and he said that it could well of been him. The paint could only come from the trading estate where he worked thats why they thouggt it was him. No paint was found on any other murdered people back then so thats why he didnt come up against other murders. Bowever there is 1 in swansea that they say jones could have killed as well. The census was difficult to do around the 2nd world war and jones wasnt known to this area until years later. So when he left aber no one knew where he went.
