Terrified face of a doomed innocent- in one of the most infamous miscarriages of justice in British legal history, Timothy Evans was convicted of the murder of his wife and daughter, and in 1950 hanged.
He was convicted for the murder of his wife and infant daughter. During his trial, Evans had accused his downstairs neighbor, John Christie, who was the chief prosecutor’s witness, of committing the murders.
Three years after Evans’ execution, Christie was found to be a serial killer who had murdered six other women in the same house, including his own wife. Before his execution, Christie confessed to murdering Mrs. Evans. An official inquiry concluded in 1966 that Christie had also murdered Evans’ daughter, and Evans was granted a posthumous pardon.
