John Reginald Halliday Christie
John Reginald Halliday Christie was a British serial killer in the 1940s and '50s. He was arrested and hanged in 1953 after being involved in one of the most sensational murder trials in British legal history, in which his tenant Timothy Evans was executed for the murders of Evans' wife and child; some critics have speculated that Christie actually committed the murders and framed Evans for it. While neither Christie's guilt nor Evans' innocence have ever been conclusively proven, the case sparked massive public outrage, contributed to the suspension of the death penalty in Britain in 1964, and later abolition, and remains controversial to this day.
