Boston Maor Road Murder

I am doing research into the unsolved murders of eight young women in the Hammersmith district of London between 1959 and 1965. The fifth victim, Helene Catherine Barthelemy was found murdered at the rear lane of 199 Boston Manor Road Brentford on 24th April 1964. The lane is accessed from Swyncombe Avenue. She was found by the resident of 199 Boston Manor Road, Mr. Clark May. Does anyone know if Mr. May still has relatives in the area? Also would anyone have  photographs of the huge police activity in the area following the murder? If so I can be contacted via the forum or at n.milkin@sky.comRegards Neil Milkins.P.S. For further information on my research, google neil milkins

You probably know that the novel by Arthur La Bern, Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square, is based on the killings and was the basis for Alfred Hitchcock's film Frenzy.

Yes Neil, they were aware that the main suspect committed suicide in Putney in 1965. His neighbour Harold Jones aka Harry Stevens aka Harry Jones scarpered from Putney after the suicide. This monster Jones was involved with the suicide suspect in killing 8 young women. Regards Neil.

The famous "Jack the Stripper" murders.Didn't the Police believe they knew who killed the women.
