In February 1942, Gordon Cummins, a twenty-eight-year-old Royal Air Force Serviceman, murdered four women and attempted to murder two others over a six-day period in London, leading the press to dub him “The Blackout Ripper.”At a time when the fear of imminent bombings was high and London was on high alert, authorities nonetheless launched an investigation and, quite remarkably, were able to catch Cummins quickly, thereby preventing any further murders; yet the question remains, how was it that a brutally violent killer manage to kill so many people in such a short amount of time and barely attract attention of the police and press?Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesBolton News. 1942.

In response to the onset of German bombing raids during World War II, many of England's most vulnerable citizens evacuated or were temporarily evacuated out of urban areas to safer, more rural parts of the country. Those who remained in the cities would ultimately spend years enduring wartime blackouts, periods where the city was plunged into complete darkness in order to prevent German bombers from easily identifying their targets. The blackouts were a significant inconvenience and safety risk for everyone, but for at least one Londoner, they offered a perfect opportunity to enact his darkest fantasies.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesBolton News. 1942.

While London was being bombed during WW2, a serial killer was on the prowl in the darkness of the city. He was pretty gruesome, much like Jack the Ripper, leading to himself getting his own Ripper nickname. Though thats too cool a name for him. He sucks.

In the cover of mandatory darkness, Gordon Frederick Cummins terrorized London during a six-day spree of murder and assault. A total of seven women were attacked, with four of them killed. Cummins, who had enlisted in the Royal Air Force, was stationed in northern London. Mainly attacking sex workers, the city became his hunting ground for a week.SOURCESThe Blackout Murders: The Shocking True Story, By Neil R.

World War II heightened every emotion. Not only did anxiety and uncertainty reach new levels, but so did promiscuity and disregard for societal norms. In the darkness of the Blitz, the UK saw a spike in crime that strained the thin police force. Looting and assaults became more commonplace as the bombing runs disguised misdeeds. But one man was more interested in a darker type of criminal activity. He used the blackouts as a way to hide a spree of murders that would be likened to one of the most famous serial killers ever. He's known as the Blackout Ripper.

Karin berättar den fruktansvärda historien om morden på Evelyn Hamilton, Evelyn Oatley, Margaret Lowe och Doris Jouannet, som alla mördades under sex dagar i ett nedsläckt och utbombat London i februari 1942. 50 år efter Jack The Ripper terroriserat staden var Londons sexarbetare återigen utsatta för en brutal mördare.

Det är lättsamt prat i ett försök att hantera världens värsta ämne.

In diesem fesselnden zweiten Teil deckt Mika die Verhaftung, den Prozess und die Hinrichtung von Gordon Cummins, dem berüchtigten Blackout Ripper, auf. Begleitet uns bei der unerbittlichen Verfolgung durch die Polizei, dem spannenden Drama im Gerichtssaal und den erschütternden letzten Momenten, in denen der Gerechtigkeit Genüge getan wird.

In dieser Folge befassen wir uns mit dem schaurigen Fall von Gordon Cummins, einem berüchtigten Serienmörder, der als Blackout Ripper bekannt ist - obwohl wir Lord Lappen oder Fieses Fieselby besser fänden. Während der dunklen Tage des Londoner Blitzes in den 1940er Jahren terrorisierte Cummins die Stadt mit seinen grausamen Verbrechen, die teilweise extrem an einen anderen Serienkiller erinnern, der Londons Straßen heimsuchte. Mika nimmt euch mit in eine kriegsgebeutelte Zeit - und nicht in den Ostblock! -, um euch die Geschichte des grausamen Blackout Rippers zu erzählen.

As the Second World War began, Blackouts were enforced, with the aim of offering protection from the German bombs, but the darkness was also the perfect cover for those with ill intentions, including Gordon Cummins who would gain the moniker, The Blackout Ripper.

We discuss the Blackout Ripper and birthday shenanigansSupport the show

Season Finale: Marjorie Cummins is certain that her husband is innocent - he's not the violent Blackout Ripper and he shouldn't hang for murder. She loyally supports him in court - refusing to believe the compelling evidence against him. Will the jury agree with her? In wartime London, it seems, men could murder some women and still escape the hangman. Some juries defied the directions of judges to reach 'not guilty' verdicts if the female murder victims were painted as being promiscuous, immoral or unfaithful.    One heavily-pregnant mother - Kathleen Patmore - was fatally stabbed by her soldier husband. Seemingly an open-and-shut case of murder, many instead felt that Kathleen deserved her fate and that her husband was the innocent party.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The murders of The Blackout Ripper - indeed many of the crimes committed against women in World War Two - aren't often spoken about by historians of the conflict. That's changing. The co-host of Bad Women Hallie Rubenhold and regular guest Dr Julia Laite recently appeared on the WW2 podcast We Have Ways of Making You Talk to talk to James Holland about the wartime experiences of women. Here's chance to hear the conversation.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Doris had made her living as "Olga" - a dominatrix alter ego charging men handsomely for sex involving corsets, whips and "unusual methods". But when she married aged businessman (and former client) Henri Jouannet, she'd promised to give it all up.   The coming of war put a strain on the couple's finances and their relationship - and Doris secretly returned to selling sex. But the trade had changed - instead of seeing her regular clients, "Olga" now meets strangers on the street... including The Blackout Ripper.  Further reading: Billock, Jennifer. ‘Five Hotels That Were Occupied by the Military During World War II', Smithsonian Magazine, 28 October 2019 Laite, Julia.

The story of the Blackout Ripper partly takes place in the wartime bars and clubs of West End London. To recreate their sound, Bad Women's composer and sound designer Pascal Wyse put together a quartet to play jazz tunes of the time.   Here Pascal and guitarist Ed Gaughan talk about the history of that music and play some of the numbers in full on this episode on Pushkin Industries' Broken Record show, hosted by Justin Richmond.  The band included Ed Gaughan, Ross Hughes, Christian Miller and Marcus Penrose. They were recorded by Nick Taylor at Porcupine Studios, under the direction of Pascal Wyse. Pushkin's Ben Tolliday mixed the tracks.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Greta Heywood is being strangled in a Piccadilly doorway when a passerby interrupts the Blackout Ripper, who disappears into the night. Greta survives the attack and the killer leaves vital clues as to his identity.  The police are now closing in on their man - but can they catch him before he can claim more victims?

Over a single week in February 1942, a sadistic killer murdered four women and attacked two more in London's bomb-ravaged nightlife district, the West End. Today, the Blackout Ripper's victims have largely been forgotten - so, in the latest season of Bad Women, historian Hallie Rubenhold and journalist Alice Fiennes reconstruct their lives. Using new research from police files, court transcripts and exhaustive genealogical studies, Hallie and Alice take an in-depth look at who these women were and how they ended up crossing paths with a depraved murderer. But Bad Women uncovers the stories of other victims too, examining why the years of the Second World War were so perilous for so many women. The preview you're about to hear tells the story of Rachel Dobkin - who disappeared after meeting up with her estranged husband. Police thought it preposterous that Harry Dobkin would have endured 20 years of arguments and financial disputes only to choose to kill Rachel now. And then a body was found in a bombed-out building…   While you're listening, make sure to follow Bad Women wherever you get your podcasts.

Rachel Dobkin has come to see her psychic advisor, Madam Nerva. After years of bitter disagreements and financial wranglings with her estranged and violent husband, Rachel wants to know what the spirits think she should do next. Through Madam Nerva the spirts tell Rachel not to go near her husband again... but will she heed their warnings?  The case of Rachel Dobkin is another face of wartime crime and not the work of the Blackout Ripper - but it reveals a common thread. It shows how some men thought the disruption and chaos of war would help them get away with murder.  Further reading: Carroll, Niamh. ‘The History of the Boundary Estate', Bethnal Green London, 14 May 2021, Cole, Mike. ‘The Battle of Cable Street', Historic UK.

Today we're sharing a fun conversation with the musicians who scored another Pushkin Industries podcast—Bad Women. The first season of Bad Women focused on reconstructing the lives of the five women that Jack the Ripper murdered. Now, the second season centers around a murderer every bit terrifying as Jack the Ripper, the so-called Blackout Ripper. On today's episode, Justin Richmond speaks with sound designer Pascal Wyse and jazz guitarist Ed Gaughan about their music-rich score. They talk about how they evoked the atmosphere of war-time bars and jazz clubs in 1940's London, and we'll hear them play examples of arrangements they created for the series.

It's World War 2 and London is still reeling from the Blitz. Although the blackout gives some protection from German bombers, it also provides the perfect hunting ground for criminals. When a woman is found strangled in an air raid shelter, and soon after another woman is brutally butchered, police suspect a serial killer is at work. The press dub him the Blackout Ripper.  Chief Superintendent Fred Cherrill, head of Scotland Yard's fingerprint department and a pioneer in this area of forensics, joins the case. Armed with his magnifying glass, Cherrill discovers marks left behind on makeshift weapons that show the murderer is left-handed. But with little else to go on, and another woman's body discovered, police are struggling to crack the case. However, as the sadistic killer becomes more frenzied, he begins to make mistakes and leaves behind two crucial clues to his identity. When the police finally trace him, he does not fit the usual profile of a killer. In the face of lies and cover-ups, Superintendent Cherrill must use his skills to build a case that will see the Blackout Ripper convicted and stopped, once and for all.

Unlike white GIs, it was made virtually impossible for African-American servicemen to marry the women they met and fell in love with in the UK during World War Two. If these couples had children, those so-called "Brown Babies" were stigmatized and scorned - with many ending up in grim children's homes.  Pausing the story of the Blackout Ripper - this episode examines the experiences of those Black GIs, their white partners and two "Brown Babies" - Leon Lomax and Terry Harrison - who have both spent decades trying to piece together their family histories.  Professor Lucy Bland's work can be seen here: http://www.mixedmuseum.org.uk/brown-babies Further reading: Bland, Lucy.

In a crisis most people respond with decency and solidarity. The bombing of British cities in the Second World War did not cause society to crumble as was expected, but proved instead human resilience. That defiant "Blitz Spirit" is still a source of pride for Britons... but have inconvenient facts about that time been ignored? Alice Fiennes (co-host of the podcast Bad Women: The Blackout Ripper) explains that the chaos and disruption of the bombing allowed some people to commit awful crimes - and especially a trainee RAF pilot who embarked on a vicious killing spree under cover of darkness.    Find Bad Women: The Blackout Ripper wherever you get your podcasts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Around Piccadilly she's known as "The Lady" - a quiet, rather remote figure. Widow Margaret Lowe tries to keep herself to herself and stay out of trouble - but trouble is never far away.  The other residents of her building on Gosfield Street are used to hearing crashes and cries in the dead of night. Margaret sells sex in her flat, and with the coming of war that's an increasingly dangerous business. But when her clients turn violent, "The Lady" can't turn to the police and her neighbours seldom lift a finger to help.     One night the man she brings the up stairs to her door is... the Blackout Ripper.  Sources:   Laite, Julia.

Happy (belated) Halloween! This week, Hannah and Katy break out the hard liquor to talk about one of history's more gruesome spree killers: The Blackout Ripper. During the London blackouts of 1942, a killer hid in plain sight and viciously attacked five women in six days. Gordon Cummins killed at least three women (although he is suspected of two more), and used the cover of the darkness to help conceal his crimes. Just an all around asshole, that you will love to hate. Don't worry, this episode has a satisfying ending. So pour your drinks (the girls chose whiskey) and cover your ears if you're underage. Thanks for the suggestion, and Happy Birthday, Dad! Also, be sure to check out Hillbilly Horror Stories' 5th Annual Halloween Special that came out a few weeks ago (featuring your favorite Hannah and Katy!): https://open.spotify.com/episode/3sluZVkybFBAQuy9q3nwjY?si=8A-EtoCYSJS3iwUttUvJcQSources: https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/article/the-blackout-ripper-a-serial-killer-in-wartime-londonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Cumminshttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4167276/How-Blackout-Ripper-killed-horrifically.htmlhttps://www.britannica.com/event/the-Blitzhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackout_(wartime)http://www.unsolved-murders.co.uk/murder-content.php?key=518&termRef=Edith%20Eleanora%20Humphrieshttps://blackpoolcrime.wordpress.com/2018/10/25/edith-oatley-anchorsholme-to-the-west-end-gordon-cummins-the-blackout-ripper/Support the showFollow us @thetaleswetellpodcast on Facebook and Instagram, or thetaleswetellpodcast.comSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/thetaleswetellpodcast?Click here for merch!

The Blackout Ripper wasn't the only serviceman attacking women in World War Two. In cities, towns and villages women were being harassed and abused by men in the military - and the women who chose to join the armed forces weren't immune from such treatment. Those women who signed up for the army, navy or air force to fight Hitler were dogged by crude insinuations that they were promiscuous - especially if they went to dances and drank alcohol. When these servicewomen were stalked, raped or murdered, the official response was often a dismal exercise in victim blaming.  Sources:   Dunlop, Dr Tessa.

On the water, international boundaries – and legal jurisdictions – are murky. And, when journalist Ian Urbina was handed video evidence of murder at sea, he learned that pirates are making the most of that lawlessness and wreaking terror. This week we're highlighting engrossing stories about crime. How an investigation into sexual assault allegations against director Bryan Singer was botched by editors at Esquire magazine, a look at the victims of a WWII serial killer, and a conversation with a former true crime fanatic who says surviving an attack changed her mind about the genre. This episode will make your heart pound and give you something to think about.

In 1942, as London nights were dark due to wartime blackout rules, a man walked the streets, finding victims. Known as the Blackout Ripper, he killed nearly as many as Jack the Ripper yet few know about him. I asked the hosts of the podcast Bad Women to come on the show and tell us why.

True crime is a solid part of our popular culture these days. Focus tends to fall on the perpetrator rather than the victim, though, something historian Hallie Rubenhold, author of excellent book The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper, wanted to challenge. And did! And continues to do! She chats to Mick about her podcast Bad Women, back for a second season. This season explores the rich and complex lives of the victims of Blitz killer, The Blackout Ripper, and looks at what wartime meant for Britain's women in terms of new opportunities and old-as-time danger. After one train vestibule too many, Abby Taylor got onboard with the Campaign for Family-Friendly Trains, and joins Jen this week to talk about why accessibility matters, and what train companies can do to make it easier for those of us with small people to get around.In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen recaps the week in women's sport, including a cracking bout between Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall, and joy for the Republic of Ireland's women's football team. In Rated or Dated, Hannah takes us back in time to the origins of the Bitches Be Crazy genre, as we revisit 1962's What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? And in Bush Telegraph, there's a lot of toilet talk. Blame the Tories. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.

Here's a preview of Bad Women: The Blackout Ripper. Over a single week in February 1942, a sadistic serial killer stalked London's bomb-ravaged streets – hunting for victims in the bars and clubs of the city's West End theater district. In his cruelty and depravity, he was immediately likened to Jack the Ripper. Using new research from police files, court transcripts and exhaustive genealogical study, Hallie Rubenhold reconstructs the lives of the women he attacked and murdered – women who were dismissed for working in the sex trade, or for choosing to live otherwise independent lives. She examines what placed these women at the margins of society and why the war years were perilous for so many women.  Listen to Bad Women at https://link.chtbl.com/deepcoverbadwomen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

London's West End - once a glittering Mecca of nightlife - is pitch black. The lights are off to hide the city from waves of Nazi bombers - but in the darkness a merciless killer is hunting down the women of this district.  Join hosts Hallie Rubenhold and Alice Fiennes as they walk those bomb-damaged streets to tell the stories of the women targeted by this "Blackout Ripper" over the course of just one week in 1942.  You'll glimpse inside the theaters, jazz joints and dive bars of Piccadilly and Soho; witness deadly air raids; and criss cross the blacked out streets where a serial killer lurks. You'll learn too of the hardships that blighted the lives of many women in wartime, and the extent of the violence they faced at the hands of men from their own side in the conflict.  Sources:  Bone, James.

Evelyn Hamilton has annoyed her bosses in the male-dominated world of pharmacy - they find her quiet and independent nature mystifying and odd. After an unhappy stint at a druggist shop outside London, she's landed a new job and a fresh start in a faraway town.  In February 1942, Evelyn sets out on her long journey – just as the Blackout Ripper is hunting for his first victim…  Join hosts Hallie Rubenhold and Alice Fiennes as they traces Evelyn's life and struggles; and with the help of Lauren Ober (host of The Loudest Girl in the World podcast) examine why the quiet pharmacist's demeanour provoked such hostility.   Sources: Andrews, Maggie and Lomas, Janis.

London is pitch black. It's wartime and the lights are out to confuse Nazi bombers. But in this darkness a killer as warped and as violent as Jack the Ripper is hunting for women night after night in the bomb-damaged streets.  The women murdered by the so-called Blackout Ripper received little sympathy at the time and have been largely forgotten since.

Welcome back to Cherry Avenue True Crime Podcast! I have a bonus mini-episode for you today about the Blackout Killer.

During his career he executed somewhere between 435 … Continue reading The Blackout Ripper (Bonus Epi) →

“In war, one of our great protections against the dangers of air attack after nightfall will be the "blackout". On the outbreak of hostilities all external lights and street lighting would be totally extinguished so as to give hostile aircraft no indication as to their whereabouts. But this will not be fully effective unless you do your part, and see to it that no lighting in the house where you live is visible from the outside. The motto for safety will be 'Keep it dark!'” So read the opening paragraph from Public Information Leaflet No.2, published in England on the eve of war, 1939. What may have kept people safe from German bombs, however, had its own disadvantages. Criminality thrived in the gloomy, empty streets. In 1942, as the German bombs began to fall less frequently, a new threat opened up on the streets of London, altogether more silent, emerging from the shadows with a rye smile and unrelenting charm.

***This episode is sponsored by PodGo***Singapore was considered one of the British Empire’s most impenetrable islands, which is why the Fall of Singapore is described as one of the British Army’s biggest defeats and by far the worst defeat it suffered during World War 2. The Battle of Singapore began on the 8th of February 1942, when Japan, who were experienced in combat after several battles, invaded Singapore. The battle, which was fought fast and violently by Japan, took place over a 7 day period, resulting in roughly 10,000 casualties, anywhere between 80,000 and 100,000 troops becoming prisoners of war, and eventually, the surrender of Singapore. Whilst the Japanese and the British army were fighting for occupation of Singapore, police in Britain were fighting a battle of their own; attempting to identify a brutal killer, before he had the chance to claim any more women’s lives.

In this episode we talk about The Blackout Ripper of World War II England, China and India's recent Border Dispute, North Korean Balloon Wars, and the general Insanity of the world. Stay golden, grandchildren

London was not a safe place to be in 1942. At night, when curtains were drawn and lights extinguished, German bombs rained down and a killer prowled the streets looking for vulnerable women.

In February 1942 in the midst of World War II a predator would strike the city of London under the cover of darkness. During the mandatory blackouts of London one sexual sadist would take advantage of those just trying to survive in the most difficult of circumstances. Gordon Cummins would become known as The Blackout Ripper.

Join comedians Rachel Fairburn and Kiri Pritchard-McLean as they explore a shared passion, serial killers. Each episode the pair talk all things murder and macabre and have a right laugh doing it. Episode 58 is a listener suggestion. It's Gordon Cummins who was also known as The Blackout Ripper. It's technically a spree but we all need a break from the norm sometimes. He didn't take his time either as he committed all his brutal murders within a matter of days. As usual Rachel and Kiri go off topic and discuss everything from childhood stone eating to drug smuggling. Rachel has a rant about her seafood allergy and Kiri has a pop at airport security. Business as usual. 

Charles Buck Leslie Buck was in her garage when she was kidnapped by Russell Kirby, a family acquaintance. Luckily, Leslie was able to escape that same night and Kirby was arrested. However, just a couple days later her husband, Charles Buck, found her dead at the bottom of their staircase. The Blackout Ripper aka Gordon Cummins...

@exroommates | exrroommatespodcast@gmail.com During the 1940s, at the height of WWII, England had a mandatory blackout at night due to German bombings. This blackout changed the night culture of England, and in many cases, allowed crime to increase...This week we discuss the Blackout Ripper! Let us know what you think.

What I am going to tell you is one of the craziest serial killer stories that you have never heard of. And there are very good reason why most people have never heard of this. In 1942, Death stalked London. Death came from the sky in the form of German bombs. And on the ground it came in the form of the blackout ripper—this is the name by which the monster came to be known. But publicizing the infamous activities of the Blackout Ripper is not something that was in the best interest of the nation at that time. The reaction of the citizens of London in the face of the German Blitz, the bombing campaign unleashed by the German Luftwaffe, has always been portrayed in heroic terms. The traditional version tells us that tough British people took the bombing in strides. They’d get bombed all night only to emerge with a smile in the morning ready to go to work as if nothing had happened. In part this was certainly true, many British people displayed incredible courage and resilience in the face of the German attacks. And this was a great propaganda weapon for the British government. It allowed them to tell Germany ‘your bombs can’t shake our resolve. They are having no effect on us, so feel free to stop any time you want and spare yourself further embarrassment.’ There clearly is something powerful in the ability to take your enemy’s best shot and smile back at them. It discourages them, and forces them to reconsider their strategy. So, of course, the last thing you want is to let them know that their strikes are hurting you. If you were to admit that the blackout is giving rise to a huge black market, if you were to talk too loudly about the doubling of the murder rate in your city, if you were to discuss how the bombing campaign indirectly gave a perfect cover for an incredibly brutal serial killer, then it’d be like admitting that bombs were working in opening fissures in British society. And if you were to admit that, then you could be sure that the bombs would keep on falling. And thousands would keep on dying. So, the Blackout Ripper was not just any other serial killer. He was a potential propaganda weapon in the hands of the enemy. For this reason, he had to be stopped, and stopped quickly. And better yet, he should be talked about as little as humanly possible. So, if you are wondering why his Ripper-colleague, Jack the Ripper, is pretty much a household name, whereas few have heard of the Blackout Ripper, you don’t have to wonder no more. The context of WWII made burying this tale a wartime necessity. This is simply not a story that anyone in Britain at the time had any interest in publicizing.

In London, 1942, a killer was stalking the streets. He was know as the Blackout Ripper. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

During World War II, the German Luftwaffe began a massive bombing campaign over London and the surrounding British countryside known as The Blitz. By night, London would shut off all the city lights in order to make it more difficult for bombers to find targets. This also allowed for a brutal serial killer to begin stalking the city streets. #serialkiller #serialkillers #murder #world war II #podcast #history #historypodcast #horror
