The blow was so strong that she suffered a rupture of the uterus, which is why the 7-month-old flew into the abdominal cavity like a bullet.

John Reginald Christie's background

Early Life

• He was born in 1899 in Northampton, England to a working-class family. His father was a shoe factory worker.

• As a child, Christie was reportedly shy, quiet and withdrawn. He did not have many friends.

• He left school at a young age and worked a variety of jobs, including as a clerk and a photographer's assistant.

Military Service

• During World War I, Christie served in the Royal Army Medical Corps, working as a medic.

• After the war, he suffered from shell shock and depression, which may have contributed to his later disturbed mental state.

Personal Life

• In 1920, he married his first wife, Ethel Waddingham. The marriage was reportedly unhappy.

• In the 1930s, Christie began working as a police informant, providing information to the authorities.

• Around this time, he also started exhibiting voyeuristic and sadistic behaviors, peeping on women and collecting pornography.

Criminal History

• Christie's first known murder was that of his wife Ethel in 1953, though he is suspected of earlier killings.

• Between 1943-1953, he murdered at least 7 other women, many of them tenants in his home.

• He gained the trust of his victims by posing as a man of authority, such as a police officer or doctor.

John Reginald Christie had at least 8 confirmed victims, though he may have killed more. Here are the details on his known victims:

1. Ethel Christie (his wife) - Killed in 1953

2. Ruth Fuerst - A 26-year-old Austrian woman, killed in 1943

3. Muriel Eady - A 28-year-old woman, killed in 1944

4. Kathleen Maloney - A 25-year-old woman, killed in 1944

5. Rita Nelson - A 26-year-old woman, killed in 1945

6. Barbara Pearson - A 26-year-old woman, killed in 1951

7. Beryl Evans - The wife of Timothy Evans, killed in 1949 (for which Evans was wrongly executed)

8. Geraldine Evans - The infant daughter of Timothy Evans, killed in 1949 (also wrongly attributed to Timothy Evans)

In 1949, Timothy Evans was convicted and hanged for the murder of his wife Beryl and their infant daughter at 10 Rillington Place, the same address where Christie would later commit his own murders.

However, it later emerged that the real perpetrator of those killings was in fact John Reginald Christie, not Timothy Evans.

• When the bodies of Evans' wife and child were discovered in 1949, the police suspected Evans and he confessed to the murders under interrogation.

• Evans was tried, convicted and executed for the killings, despite the lack of strong evidence against him.

• In 1953, when Christie's own murders were uncovered, it became clear that he was the true killer of Evans' family members.

• In 1966, Timothy Evans was posthumously pardoned, though this did little to undo the grave injustice of his wrongful execution.

The Timeline

• Christie's first known murder was in 1943, when he killed 26-year-old Ruth Fuerst. He buried her body in the back garden of his home.

• Over the next 10 years, Christie went on to kill at least 7 more women, including his own wife Ethel in 1953.

• His victims were often vulnerable women who were renting rooms in his home at 10 Rillington Place.

The Murders

• Christie would typically lure the women to his home on the pretext of providing medical exams or other services.

• Once inside, he would strangle them, often sexually assaulting them as well.

• He would then hide the bodies, burying some in the garden and concealing others in the walls and under the floorboards of his home.

The Discovery

• In 1953, a foul smell led neighbors to alert the police about Christie's home.

• When police searched the property, they discovered the bodies of Christie's victims hidden throughout the house.

• The grisly discoveries eventually led to Christie's arrest, trial, and execution for the murder of his wife Ethel.

The execution

John Reginald Christie was executed for his crimes on July 15, 1953 at Pentonville Prison in London.

•Christie was convicted of the murder of his wife Ethel in a highly publicized trial in June 1953.

•Despite suspicions that he had committed additional murders, he was only charged and convicted for Ethel's killing, which took place in 1953.

•At the time, capital punishment was still in use in the United Kingdom, and Christie was sentenced to death by hanging for Ethel's murder.

•On the morning of July 15, 1953, at the age of 54, Christie was taken from his cell to the execution chamber at Pentonville Prison.

•The executioner was Albert Pierrepoint, a renowned hangman who had carried out over 400 executions in his career.

•Pierrepoint placed the noose around Christie's neck and the trap door was sprung. Christie's death was reported to have been quick and painless.

•Christie's execution was a major news event, with crowds gathered outside the prison to await the outcome.

•His death marked the end of one of the most infamous serial killer cases in British history, though the subsequent revelations about his other victims and the wrongful execution of Timothy Evans would continue to haunt the criminal justice system.

•Christie's execution was one of the last hangings carried out in the UK before capital punishment was eventually abolished in 1965
