The Prosecutors

Mom's ashamed of me.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

Better go turn myself in.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

Whatever it was, without a fight.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

There's no shootout.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

There's no running from the police.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

I mean, he has been running from the police for 20 days.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

They just didn't know he was running from them.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

But he turns himself in and says it very frankly with kind of no fanfare.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

I disposed of my wife, put her down the drain.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

So two detectives hear this and they sit down with Timothy and have him tell them everything.

The Prosecutors

It takes around two hours, with Timothy recounting the entire history of his marriage up until Beryl's latest pregnancy.

Tim says that initially he'd opposed the idea of abortion, but as his wife grew more desperate and made wild claims about killing herself and their daughter Geraldine, he began to relent.

The Prosecutors

On November 7th, he met a man in a cafe seemingly at random who shared that he had access to abortion pills.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

He bought them and took them back home to Beryl.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

The next day, when Tim returned from home, he found Beryl dead.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

She'd taken those pills and they'd killed her.

The Prosecutors

At this point, Tim, possibly because abortion was illegal in Britain and he would be blamed for his wife's death, decided to hide the body.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

He said he opened up the drain in front of the house and dropped her body in.

The Prosecutors

So he wasn't kidding when he said that he put her down the drain.
