Summary
This is Part Two of Two of The Woman in Red.
At 5:40am on Thursday 6th May 1948, on the basement steps of 17 Finborough Road in West Brompton, the broken body of 26-year-old part time waitress and prostitute Winifred Mulholland was found.
The Police initially assumed that she had been murdered elsewhere and dumped here, as no killer would be so bold, brazen or bonkers as to dump a murder victim’s body outside of their own home, almost like a grisly calling card or a callous confession to the heinous crime of killing a lone prostitute but as the Police swarmed and the neighbours congregated, along the street every curtain was open, every house-light was on, and every tenant was gossiping ten-to-the-dozen, except one.
- Date: Thursday 6th May 1948
- Location: 1st Floor, 17 Finborough Road, West Brompton, SW10
- Victim: 1 (Winifred Virginia Mulholland)
- Culprit: 1 (George Cyril Epton)
- Method: strangulation, assault, bludgeoning, disposal

| 0:19.0 | On 1st of 6th of May at 5.40am, as Albert Stamp strode down Finnsboro towards his place |
| 0:26.2 | of work at Earls Court Station, he spotted the stocking defeat of a crumpled body dumped |

| 0:39.6 | Fan outside of a five-story, white stone terrace at 17 Finnsboro Road. |
| 0:45.4 | It was a place that 26-year-old Winiford, Virginia Moll Holland, didn't belong. |
| 0:52.4 | And no one knew how she'd got there. |
| 0:56.3 | But here lay her folded and broken body on the baseline steps, amongst the house odd waste |

| 1:11.3 | The postmortem confirms several vital details about Virginia's death. |
| 1:19.6 | She'd initially been attacked a few days prior, but she hadn't died until a few hours |

| 1:43.6 | Death had occurred slowly and painfully. |
| 1:47.9 | Having been struck with a heavy blunt object, later discovered to be a flat iron, weighing |
| 1:52.9 | close to a kilo, which shattered her skull, lacerated her brain, and caused extensive |
| 2:00.6 | hemorrhages, paralysis and unconsciousness. |
| 2:06.2 | And possibly, while she was collapsed, her attacker had struck three times across the |
| 2:12.6 | cheeks with a hammer. |
