A trifle over-sensitive of Ronnie wasn't it? It was Ron who was homosexual and supposedly having an affair with Lord Boothby, wasn't it? I always get confused between the twins.

Gut, I just do not believe that Mrs Gut insults you as much as you say!

You've got no idea the awful things that woman says why just the other day she said "I love you honey", what a rotten thing, and two weeks ago she said "Why don't we book another cruise" see torture at every turn.

100 years ago - 1916 March 12 - New York dentist Arthur Warren Waite smothers his father-in-law John Peck. Dr. Waite had been poisoning, gassing and feeding the old man lethal bacteria for weeks and finally got tired of waiting. The killer had previously murdered his own mother-in-law and was about to do in his own wife when he was caught. Waite's motive was the collection of inheritance and life insurance benefits. In 1917, he went to the electic chair at Sing Sing.

G'day Stan,

Do You know anything about the other possible victims of this unknown selial killer?

Hi GUT-There are several accounts if you Google Catherine Baker Murder 1966

Two of the murders look pretty similar but I'm not too convinced that all were the work of one killer.

[curious4]

I think that's possible Jeff.

According to one book I've read, Cliff Richard visited him in prison.

Reggie was supposed to have been gay as well, although perhaps a little mare discreetly than Ronnie.

The massive cover-up over Boothby makes me even more sure that there could have been something similar in Jack's case. And that the body pulled out of the Thames wasn't Druitt's.

Best wishes

"Little more," not "little mare," sorry!
