Summary

From the end of October to the start of December 2001, an unspecified two-roomed second-floor flat on Eagle Street in Holborn was a warm and welcoming guesthouse rented out to two Korean students exploring London. As strangers in a notoriously dangerous city, they did everything right to ensure their safety, as London isn’t for the faint hearted. And although they stayed within confines of their tight-knit community, their sadistic killer was hiding in plain sight.

  • Date: 8th or 9th of December 1913 and 27th October 2001
