Women Executed at Holloway

The remains of four other women who were executed at Holloway prison were reburied in Brookwood Cemetery in Surrey – they were Styllou Christofi, Edith Thompson, Annie Walters and Amelia Sachs.

Whilst researching for RUTH ELLIS MY SISTER’S SECRET LIFE I discovered that Styllou Christofi, who was executed in December 1954, had, according to the 1954 Electoral Register, by coincidence lived at number 11 South Hill Park in Hampstead with her son and daughter-in-law. This was just a few metres from the Magdala pub at 2a South Hill Park where David Blakely was shot less than four months later.
