Unknown History. The World War Two "Wartime Jack the Ripper"

 via WarHistoryOnline

The first victim of Cummins’ murder spree was located on the morning of February 9, 1942. Schoolteacher Evelyn Hamilton’s body was found in an air raid shelter in the West End, gagged with a scarf and strangled to death. Her handbag, which contained £80, was missing.

The second victim, a prostitute and former chorus girl named Evelyn Oatley, was found the next day in her apartment. The murder was eerily similar to that of Hamilton, except for the fact her abdomen had been slashed with a can opener, which was left at the scene. Unbeknownst to the killer, it held his bloody fingerprints.
