Based on Ludovic Kennedy`s invetigative book, this is the true and horrifying story of mass-murderer John Christie, chillingly played by Richard Attenborough. When Timothy Evans (John Hurt) and his wife (Judy Geeson) move into Christie`s tiny flat, they do not know that he has already killed several young women, their bodies buried in the back garden of the house. When Christie offers to help Beryl Evans have an abortion, neither she nor her husband know that it is just the latest plan Christie has hatched to lure yet another woman to her death. Killing her and her young baby, Christie manages to pin the blame on Evans, who is soon afterwards hanged. Years go by and more deaths, and it is only when he moves away from the scene of his crimes, the death-house at 10 Rillington Place in London, that fate transpires to put a stop to his crimes, and the wrongful hanging of Evans is exposed.
