A crowd gathers at the entrance to 10 Rillington Place in Notting Hill, London, where a fourth body has been discovered today. Three other bodies were yesterday found in a niche, which had been concealed by wallpaper. 17/11/2004 Timothy Evans, who was wrongly hanged for one of the notorious Rillington Place murders, can at last "rest in peace" after two High Court judges on Wednesday November 17, 2004, made an unprecedented declaration of his innocence. In an extraordinary twist in one of the most infamous of all miscarriage of justice cases, his family lost their legal battle to get the case referred back to the Court of Appeal. In 1953 - three years after he was hanged - his downstairs neighbour John Christie, who had been a central prosecution witness at his trial, confessed to killing eight female victims at 10 Rillington Place, Notting Hill, west London. The victims included Beryl and her 14-month-old baby, whose bodies were found buried in a washroom. Christie, too, was hanged. Date: 25/03/1953 Ref #: PA.20995147
