  • One of the cases that lead to the abolition of the death penalty was the case of Timothy Evans who was hanged for the murder of his wife and baby daughter in 1950. Current thinking is that Evans's family was murdered by serial killer John Reginald Christie in the house they shared in 10 Rillington Place and as that is the crime he was charged for, he should not have been hanged. Anyway, there is an Irish folk song about Timothy Evans; listen to it here:
