#174 - Nothing But Common Thugs (Bayswater, London, UK)

On Tuesday 6th June 1961, three American airmen booked-in and headed out for a fun night in Baywater. They were Gerald Bererras, William Hammond and Stanley Roach. Just shy of midnight, two of the men were attacked by a group of local men armed with fists, bottles and a knife. And in the ensuing fight for their lives, Stanley Roach was stabbed to death. But why did they murder Stanley Roach, a man they didn’t know?Date: Tuesday 6th June 1961 at roughly midnightLocation: 49 Queensborough Terrace, Bayswater, London, UK, W2Victims: 1 (Stanley Thurman Roach)Culprits: 2 (Daniel Attard & Andreas Xanthou)Keywords: attack, robbery, assault, wrong man,Blog - https://www.murdermiletours.com/blog/murder-mile-uk-true-crime-podcast-174-nothing-but-common-thugsMurder Mile is researched, written and performed by Michael J Buchanan-Dunne of Murder Mile Walks with the main musical themes written and performed by Erik Stein and Jon Boux of Cult With No Name with additional music, as used under the Creative Commons License 4.0 (Attribution) via Free Music Archive and YouTube Music. A full listing of tracks used and a full transcript for each episode is listed here and a legal disclaimer.UNSEEN PODCAST - listen to it hereFOLLOW US HERE:Tik TokTwitterInstagramFaceBookYoutubeLink to Murder Mile MugsLink to YouTube ChannelLink to Live ShowSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/murdermile.
