Summary

This is Part Two of Two of The 'Taxi Driver' Murders.

On Thursday 18th of October 1945, the bloodied body of veteran taxi-driver Frank Everitt was found wedged on the bridge in a hole at the pump house on Lambeth Bridge, which he could hardly fit into. At first, it seemed like he was either stuck or sleeping, but was this just a crude attempt to conceal a corpse, or a meticulously planned execution?

Date: Thursday 18th of October 1945 (found at 9:05am)
Location: The Pump House, Lambeth Bridge, SW1
Victim: 2 (Frank Everitt & Reuben Martirosoff)
Culprit: 2 (Marian Grondkowski & Henryk Malinowski)
