Summary

On the 2nd of June 1935, Ms Riley, owner of a two-floor flat at 19 Gloucester Avenue in Regent’s Park asked her friend, 63-year-old Louise Gann to house-sit while she went on holiday. Feeling a little lonely in a spacious two-floor flat, for three weeks in June, Louise was accompanied by her 20-year old daughter Maxine and Maxine’s boyfriend, 28-year-old Alan Grierson.


The morning of Saturday 22nd June 1935 had started much the same as any other. They’d had a cup of tea, a cooked breakfast, and – as Maxine and Alan headed off to work – they had agreed to meet later, to head off on a romantic weekend away in Torquay, as Louise stayed in, to housesit. It was very much an ordinary day… only Louise’s fateful decision to stay behind, would lead to her murder…


…and it was all because of a spoiled little brat.

  • Date: Saturday 22nd June 1935 (time undefined, between 8:30am and 2pm)
  • Location: Top Floor Flat, 19 Gloucester Road (was Avenue), London, United Kingdom, NW1
  • Victims: 1 (Louise Bertha Gann)

Welcome to Murder Mile.

Today, I'm standing on Gloucester Avenue near Regents Park, NW1.

0:21.3

One street northeast of the bloody killing by the grieving elephant keeper.

0:27.6

Four doors down from the first possible victim of the Blackout Ripper.

0:32.1

One street northwest of the posed body of Gladys Rennie Hanrahan.

0:45.3

And as an unnervingly similar case in almost that same place, another body would be found.

Coming soon to Murder Mile.

0:58.0

Regents Park is a lovely place to rest, relax and read a book.

1:02.1

Or at least, it should be.

1:09.2

Only swarms of piss-poor parents always unleash their shitting little seeds of Satan onto this tranquil adil. As their over-sugared

sexcrement screams, I want, I want, wah! As it attempts to stand to death the park's wildlife

population, like a veritable pole pot of pigeons.

And should anyone dare to chastise their sprog?

1:33.3

Through a 3pm haze of Valium and Vodka, their parent always says,

1:38.3

Oh, leave him, he's just having fun. Brats. They cry, they crap.

1:48.0

And if he bought one in a shop, thinking it's faulty, you take it back.

1:55.0

For the first four years of a child's life, when its personality is forming,

2:00.0

it spends most of its time with its

2:02.8

parent, listening and learning. If a child turns out polite, kind, and decent, the parent

2:10.9

has every right to proclaim, oh yes, it's all down to good parenting, you see. As they've done the hard work.

2:21.3

And yet should their child, who was born a blank canvas onto which the parents' morals are projected,
