John Reginald Halliday Christie (8 April 1899 – 15 July 1953), nicknamed "Reg" by acquaintances, was an English serial killer and alleged necrophile active during the 1940s and early 1950s. He murdered at least eight people—including his wife Ethel—by strangling them inside his flat at 10 Rillington Place, Notting Hill, London. The bodies of three of his victims were found in a wallpaper-covered kitchen alcove soon after he had moved out of Rillington Place during March 1953. Read more on Wikipedia
