wow, thank you, I was born in Cambria street, and all the while we lived there we had heard a "story" of someone being murdered in the house, but couldn't find out any details - EVER. Until tonight, someone - something helped me tonight, I just did a google search and his name flagged up with the person he murdered> and boy o boy its the same house I was born in. Thank you so so much for finding this for me. ever grateful. I can now tell my sister, the mystery is solved. :-)

yes he had two children, the lady in question was known as a prostitute. apparently his wife had felt sorry for her and let her stay at the house, well he started an affair with her, she had a disease and said he had it coming to him (the disease I suspect) and he cut her throat with a razor, turned himself in to Walham Green police station, the police found the body exactly where he said it would be, and I think he was hung!>
