On Saturday 16th August 1980, 42 year old convicted thief John Thompson had a petty dispute with a barman at an illegal nightclub at 18 Denmark Place (London).

The question you have to ask yourself is why?

- Location: 18 Denmark Place, St Giles, London, W1

On Friday 28th of February 1997 sometime after 7pm, at 6b Gosfield Street, a brutal and bloody attack on a lone sex-worker occurred in this first floor flat.

- Location: First Floor, 6B Gosfield Street, Fitzrfovia, London, W1
- Victim: 1 (James Darwin Errol Browne , known as 'Robyn')
