Summary
#272 - Red Mist
On Sunday 31st July 1949, just before midnight, Michael Martin unleashed a violent attack on a defenceless 53-year-old prostitute known locally as ‘Mona’. To the press, it seemed like an all-too-familiar story of a destitute woman who was brutally murdered by a horny drunken punter, but with time and infirmity catching up with all of us, this anonymous streetwalker’s death marked the end of an amazing criminal.
- Date: Sunday 31st July 1949 (roughly 11:50pm)
- Location: Room 12, 45 Manchester Street, Marylebone, W1
- Victims: 1 (Annie Beamish, aliases Margaret Reid, Maggie Reid, Mona Reeves, Monica Reeves, Elsie Brown)
