LONDON FLAT . MURDERS

POLICE SEEK IDENTITY OF TWO VICTIMS (N.Z. Press Association— Copyright) LONDON, April 6. Police scientists have established that a jawbone found among the bones of two unknown women dug from the garden of London’s “Murder House” in Notting Hill is of a Scandinavian racial type. A description of the reconstructed skeleton has been sent to the police in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark to trace the identity of the victim ’ It is thought that the skeleton may be that of a blonde Norwegian girl who frequently came to Riilington place, the blind alley where “Murder House” stands, in 1946. The police do not know tier name or whereabouts. She may have been the first victim of the strangler who concealed three of the women who fell foul of him behind the walls of the Notting Hill flat, and buried a fourth under the floorboards. Only the two bodies in the garden remain to be identified. Detectives and police photographers

today went to 10 Riilington place to stage a reconstruction of how they believe the women died. The cupboard doors, which were removed in a search for bodies, were taken back into the house for half an hour Photographers took shots from several angles in the scullery. Here three of the bodies were found in a cupboard sealed off by wallpaper.
