Murder Mile UK True CrimePlay episode
Show notes
This is Part Seven of Ten of The Soho Strangler.
With three women dead, no witnesses to their murders and no clues to their killer’s identity, although the Police still insisted that this was not the work of a serial-killer but three different murders with remarkable similarities, the press had a suspect… a ‘Soho crime boss’ who was a known strangler, who had the money and power to corrupt an investigation.
His nickname was Red Max, but he also went by the alias… of Mr Cohen.
Date: Thursday 23rd January 1936 at roughly 7:10pmLocation: 35/36 Little Newport Street, W1 (later renumbered 11 Newport Place),Victim: 1 (Meier Kassel)Culprit: 1 (Roger Marcell Vernon)This is Britain / England's least known and long forgotten serial killer
