#139 - The Fall of Peggy Richards (Waterloo, London, Britain)
Murder Mile UK True CrimePlay episode
Show notes
This is the story about the murder of Peggy Roberts (possibly) by Joseph McKinstry.
Today’s episode is about soldiers and sex-workers, two ancient trades intrinsically linked, especially during war-time. And although – if people were created equally – a price would never be put on a person’s life; we clearly value those who fight over those who f**k.
Date: Thursday 19th February 1942 at 11:55pm (the time the murder is alleged to have taken place) and Friday 20th February at 9:35am (when her body was recovered)Location: South-West Foreshore, Waterloo Bridge, London, UK, SE1 & WC2Victims: 1 (Peggy Richards)Culprits: Joseph Ralph Bradley McKinstry (found not guilty)Keywords: no justice, war time, blitz, soldiers, prostitutes,
