Cold-blooded Part 3

Friday the 6th of October 94 at roughly 3.30 a.m.

Runnymede Park by the Bell Weir Lock.

60 miles south of Hammersmith, 4 miles west of Noel's Green, and just 90 minutes after the bungled taxi heist on the

Kilburn I Road. The bleeding and motionless body of Violet May Hodge floated in the River Thames.

Manually strangled and callously dumped in the dark bitter waters.

This 18-year-old waitress had been lured by a wannabe gangster,

who was too eager to impress his excitable gunmull,

in what would be a dry run in 24 hours' time,

with a callous and cold-blooded murder of George Heath.

Attacked in an isolated spot, when no one would hear her cries.

She was targeted for the sake of her meagre possessions, and as her screams were constricted by a brute's tightening grip,

before she lost consciousness, her last memory was calling out for Georgie, only to hear the laugh

of an evil sadist.

When arrested, Georgia would claim that she was innocent,

that she was just a naive young girl, forced to witness the crimes of an escaped maniac with a violent past,

out of excitement and of fear.

But was Ricky pressured by a desire to impress Georgie?

Or was she the real psychopath who goaded him to kill.

Her real name was Elizabeth Maud Baker.

Although no one ever knew the real girl, as to some she was Betty, to others she was Marina. On stage she was Georgina Grayson, but to Ricky, she was Georgie.

Georgie was born in Skewin, a small mining village near the town of Neith in South Wales, on the 5th of July, 1926, to Nellie, a housewife and Arthur a labourer.
