I pray that God will have mercy on the soul of Ludo Kennedy who died last week.An avowed atheist, he was also not above twisting truth to make his points and martyrs to his cause!
As a confirmed abolitionist, he conspired with Eddowes to give publicity to a wickedly false picture of the trial of Timothy Evans in 1950. He and Eddowes worked hard together to claim that the mass murderer John Christie was responsible for Evans' victims - his wife and child.
So successful was this piece of chicanery that even today the average man on the Clapham omnibus still believes that Evans was the victim of a grave injustice.
So - how do we know that this was not actually the case?
John Eddowes - the son of Ludo's 'partner in crime' was so ashamed of what his father had done, he wrote the definitive examination of the case as seen in his book "The Two Killers of Rillington Place" and has also exposed the tactics used.
