CUMMINS, GORDON: Fred Dinenage: Murder Casebook TV - David Wilson TV - Wiki Criminal Minds - Wartime Crime TV -
Terror stalked the war-torn streets of the London Blitz in 1942. The horror came not just from the German bombs falling from the sky but also from the fear of a serial killer. Not since Jack the Ripper had there been such a gruesome spate of murders. The man responsible was RAF cadet Gordon Cummins who brutally murdered four women, earning himself the nickname The Blackout Ripper. Fred Dinenage s2e8: Murder Casebook: The Blackout Ripper, CI 2012

On February 9th, the body of 40-year-old Evelyn Hamilton was found in an air raid shelter. The following three days were highlighted with the daily discovery of a victim, whose corpse would now be sexually mutilated. The killing spree gained him the nicknames of The Blackout Ripper and The Blackout Killer, the former being because of the crimes’ similarities to those of serial killer Jack the Ripper, most notably the mutilation. On February 14th, Cummins attempted to kill a woman named Greta Hayward, whom he previously made sexual advances towards, but he escaped when a delivery boy witnessed the attack, leaving behind the gas mask case he brought along. After attacking and unsuccessfully attempting to murder another woman, Cummins was arrested two days later by an officer who traced the numbers on the discarded gas mask case back to him. Authorities searched his quarters and found countless evidence used to convict him of the murders. Wiki Criminal Minds online article
