UK UK- Eve Stratford, 21, Bunny @ Playboy Club, posed for mag. cover, later her mutilated & grotesquely staged body found @ home, London 18/03/75 *DNA*

[jojojaja]

How would she know this? The SAS were virtually unknown to the general public until the Iranian Embassy siege in 1980 and, with very few exceptions indeed, its members still keep a very low profile after leaving it.

Bunny Mother's assistant rather than Bunny Mother.
I think they were very close knit at the Playboy Club, so in security stating you used to be in the SAS would surely be to your benefit to get the job. I doubt back in 197? that the bunny mother office would have been talking to outsiders about this. 50 odd reasons after it is unlikely to matter.

I nailed Levi Bellfield, I'll prove serial killer is behind West End Murders

SOME detectives have an unsolved case which still torments them years after they have retired. For Colin Sutton, it is the murders of two young women and a girl of 16 in the 1970s by a serial kille…

'Khawaja, 5ft 2in — known as Little Abdul — was a shady Mr Fixit operating in London’s clubs and casinos. He was a regular face at the Playboy Club and a 1981 licensing court case heard how he lined up girls for wealthy customers.

''He was close to the Playboy Club’s London chief Victor Lownes and steered oil-rich Arabs to the gaming tables.'
The young women he introduced to clients were known as “Abdul’s Angels”, and according to other Bunny Girls, Khawaja knew Eve well. They are said to have dined together on the night before her death.
Khawaja — now dead — is said to have been angered by Eve’s centrefold appearance in that month’s Mayfair adult magazine, which led to her being suspended as a Bunny Girl.
Thanks to Colin and his team, Little Abdul has now been identified by croupier Lynda’s daughters Justine and Samantha after they were shown his photo.
They say he was a regular visitor to their family home in Chislehurst, Kent, and known as Monty.''

''Two male DNA profiles were later found from the crime scene. The killer’s was found on her bindings, while the other unidentified profile was from semen, suggesting Eve had had sex that day.

A witness described seeing two men nearby at the time. One, described as short, with a too-long overcoat and walking with a limp, closely resembled Khawaja.''

I referred to the person with a supposed limp from a contemporary newspaper (in a previous post), which Colin Sutton didn't, the witness was asked by the police to demonstrate how the person had a funny walk, they demonstrated that the feet were outward turned and they walked a little like someone pregnant. Abdul khawaja was said to swagger by the ex bunnies yet Sutton in the Bunny Girl Murders took a limp and a swagger to mean the same thing and assume it meant the description resembled Abdul.
I felt it was a leap too far.

Not sure how they would determine this. Very confusing indeed.

I thought in the series they said they found two dna profiles on the bindings on Colin Sutton's documentary and Eve's bf when interviewed on Marcel Theroux's documentary stated that when his dna was tested, it was against the semen dna and he was proved to be innocent of her murder because it didn't match.

Someone has confused info along the way here.

 

[dotr]

Speculation, rbbm. imo fwiw.
If indeed there is evidence of DNA from 2 different people in Eve's case, might that suggest
two perps, one to murder and the other to do the rest?
Maybe an insecure young male was inspired, enraged and emboldened by Eve's comments in the mag article, enough to self-righteously target Eve, his confidence soars and he later attacks the innocent schoolgirl (who may remind the perp of a younger Eve)?
Did the perp work as a bouncer/security guy at clubs/concerts/dances etc. where he could have encountered each of the victims?

In Colin Sutton's West End Murders, he suggested that there may have been 2, one being Abdul, who may have come along as a friendly face to get her to open the door, who may not have been entered. Not sure I remember if he implied who the second might be.

However I came across a discussion on a site that wouldn't be welcome here to cite, it was only ordinary people putting forward their thoughts on the 'oh they must have known them to let them in' scenario that is often quoted. I agreed with their annoyance, a few older people pointed out that back then most people didn't even lock their door (Lynda Farrow's back door was open, the footsteps in the snow went up to her front door and then from there to a side gate and path around the house to the back door. The first people arriving noticed it, Lynda's daughter thought about going around to the back and she saw the door wide open and the footsteps and was sensible to realise she could be walking into danger. After neighbours, friends, medics, police and the many people descended, they were lucky to photograph one footprint, anyone seeing the press photos would see the many footprints.
The Crimewatch reconstruction showed what many people believed and can happen, she walked in to find the phone ringing and went straight to answer it without shutting the door, with the killer behind her. Lynda hadn't changed the clothes she was wearing when out and the time between that answered call and the unanswered following call wasn't long.

Eve obviously had a downstairs neighbour who could hear everything, so why couldn't she hear anyone knocking? Or Eve coming back down and upstairs again with another pair of feet making noise? It's a pain that so much time has passed people aren't around to elaborate and explain things, that's if they even remembered 50 years ago.

Regarding whether someone was inspired by Eve's photoshoot and quoted comments about liking to be dominated but not to be tied up etc, the police were pretty obsessed by this at the time, it's sadly only a theory without the killer to explain, if they explained. Many people who are caught refuse to speak.
The police went through a few theories that they seemed determined to prove, one was by many thought to be fueled by racism towards Arabs.
I don't recall them feeling there were two people at Eve's place. But they thought she may have had sex willingly with someone who may not have been the killer. Not sure how they thought she could fit in both a killer and a 'client' before her bf came home.
The neighbour only heard one person come downstairs. I know she would have been able to know the difference between 1 or more people as I have lived through that old building, hearing everything upstairs thing.

I have never been convinced that the perp knew Hounslow well, we still don't know if Lynne was followed or if he was already in the lane. Levi Belfield was accepted as a possible killer of a girl in a lane somewhere, very similar to Lynne, it wasn't a place he lived. I accept the killer may have known the area well, that maybe Great West Road may have been a stalking ground if we accept Elizabeth Parravicini as another victim.

Too much is unknown.
It's sad to say, but had he been definately linked to three, we would have more info to work with.

Hunt for Snow Fiend

Police are hunting a murderer who strikes in snow storms.

Another thing that links Lynda Farrow and Eve Stratford, besides location, nearly being decapitated, young, blonde, glamorous, working in central London at casinos, not sure if I missed any more...snow, I think people remember it with Lynda Farrows death because of the footprints in the snow.
It just occurred to me, were there no footprints in Eve's case? Did they even check? With Lynda it seems nobody thought to protect them until after the place was well and truly trampled on and that's why there is only one footprint photographed, the snow around that footprint in the photo looks it's disintegrated. If anyone can find a photo please add it, it's on the Crimewatch reproduction of Lynda's murder. Not sure I can add a still from it here. Although it came from the police as evidence.
Baring in mind the time that had passed, Lynda was approx 4½ years older than Eve. Lynne Weedon was 16 when she died, but it was almost exactly 2 months off her 17th birthday, so Lynne was roughly 4 years younger than Eve. I can't find Lynda's birth date, only that she was 29 when killed. I don't know Elizabeth Parravicini's birth date, but she was said to be 27 when she died in Sept 1977, so roughly 4 years older than Eve. I am just exploring if age and age difference forms any pattern. It's not exact, I only worked it out roughly.
Eve's age was 21, it was close to 2 months after her birthday when she was killed, but I have seen people wrongly call her 22 or 23 on documentaries.

 

[sportstergirl]

One thing stands out about Eve Stratford & Lynda Farrow's murders. The killer (s) it may be 2 different killers, will have been soaked in blood yet apparently got away in broad daylight!
Did he change clothes at the crime scene?
If he didn't change at the crime scene the car in Lynda Farrow's murder (said by many to be a Ford Cortina Mk4, a very popular car. Had one myself) would have had blood stained up
holstery. Having tried cleaning a hotel room after a suicide attempt I can assure you it's the devil's job to get bloodstains out!
Did a partner or family member notice blood stains or new or used car seats, carpets etc in a Cortina?
A favourite item of clothing no longer seen?
Sadly I can't see these crimes being solved anytime soon.

Also in both cases it was snowing/snow covered everywhere.
Dark clothing can hide the colour, especially as most people don't tend to stare.
In Eve's case, he may have even removed his clothes and washed.
In Lynda's case I don't think he had time.
Lynda was being watched that day by three people with connections to her husband, in a white car, they were outside her house and later in Dalston when Lynda was with her Mum at a shoe shop. One of the people that was watching Lynda and her bf later when she met him at his market stall outside Pellici's restaurant on Bethnal Green Rd
Lynda had been keeping where they were living away from her husband and associates and had been getting threatening calls.
I can't recall the type of car the three men were in, just it was white.
Only one man entered the house as there was only one set of footprints.
I'm open on whether they are linked or not, there is no evidence to say one way or the other.
I now realise there is no acknowledged DNA with Lynda Farrow and that the edits on Wikipedia saying there is have very poor sources.
It cites a magazine, which I bought and yes it says there is, but saying there is in a magazine doesn't make it so, it's weak evidence.
Someone also linked the 2009 Crimewatch reconstruction, and the police officer in the case stated there was forensic evidence, she did not say there was DNA. Forensics is much more than DNA, the palm prints and footprints are forensic evidence. The palm prints may not even be the killers too.
I am guessing the same person edited the wikipedia entry regarding Lynda to say she was followed through the doorway it was used as an example of what may have happened, because nobody was there it's not proven. In fact from what Lynda's daughter's said, it is far more likely that the killer entered through (and left) via the back door.
If the one set of footprints lead to the front door and then around the side of the house, it meant that's the way the killer went. If he entered through the front door, why would he then go out again with the risk of being seen, to walk around to the garden?! Makes no sense.
No mention of blood outside either, yet they know the person left via the kitchen door and must have gone over fences, less chance of the footprints being trampled over like the ones at the front of the house.

Sadly I can't see these crimes being solved anytime soon.

Lynda Farrow is a tricky case, but I'm quite optimistic that the murders of Eve and Lynne will finally be solved soon.

 

[rosesfromangels]

I didn't read the whole thread, but I'm guessing someone has already called out the similarities to the grotesque murder of Eve Stratford and the Black Dahlia. The killer(s) likely were fans of true crime, and especially grotesque murders like the Black Dahlia. Some elements seem to have been mimicked with Eve's murder as well.

The disfigurement of her beautiful face suggests insane anger and jealousy. I tend to think this was someone she interacted with at the bunny hutch, and that she rebuffed, perhaps to his intense humiliation, and subsequent rage. Alternatively, this could have been some warped couple act, with the woman responsible for disfigurement. Some insane folie a deux duo perhaps.

I'm actually surprised this miscreant hasn't been caught. I don't think you have to look further than the bunny hutch to identify him, and I speculate that the other bunnies offered up some good leads on who they thought amongst their regulars should be investigated.

I will try and find out the type of car if it's given, that the three people were said to be in. Also the occupants of the car were said to be Ray or Raymon Farrow, Dennis Facey and Douglas Whittaker (Dougie, motorbike, best friend of Paul)
Raymon was Paul (Lynda's husband) Farrow's brother, Dennis Facey was married to Paul's sister and was the person seen watching Lynda and her bf at his market stall that day. All this according to West End Murders, and Lynda's Mother, and daughters.
Even if there was a different motive in Lynda's death, it doesn't rule out that the killer may have been the same person.
A new witness came forward in the tv series, she was a schoolgirl at the time and was extremely shy, possibly scared and something I read also gave the impression her parents didn't want her to come forward. After school was out the girl would wait on Chiltern Way for her mother to come collect her as she lived in Chingford, she would be doing that for at least 4 years. The day of Lynda's murder she saw a man walking out of Chiltern Way as she was walking into it, he was so uncharacteristic of anyone she had ever seen on that street that she stared at him. The man was white, no sign of a tan and no facial hair, had dark, straight long hair between shoulder and waist length. Dressed entirely in black, with black boots. A leather or heavy duty jacket. The girl had only ever seen middle age to elderly people, middle class people on that street and in top of the distinctive way this man dressed made him stand out. The man seemed late 20s to early 30s, though she admits an 11 year old would be a bad judge of age. The man was looking at her angrily so she broke her gaze, feeling she shouldn't have been staring. The man left Chiltern Way onto Whitehall Road, turning right. He was carrying a bag containing something in his left hand.

I gather from the hints given in the show that the description could match Douglas Whittaker, a motorbike riding friend of Lynda's husband, who had been seen in the white car watching and following Lynda earlier.
It's possible through fence or wall hopping to have got to Chiltern Way from the rear of Lynda's home.

Raymon Farrow was a car dealer and probably could make cars disappear, Levi Bellfield certainly could.
Raymond's wife was a best friend of Lynda, according to her daughters, she was the only person their Mum socialised with after leaving their father, everyone commented that Valerie, Ray's wife adored Lynda. So it was odd that Raymond sent his wife away in holiday before this happened. So had he and his car had blood etc on, he had time to clean up and get rid.

I'll add this to Lynda's thread.

The footprints going around the side of the house to the rear wasn't mentioned on Crimewatch, I don't know why, Lynda's younger daughter, who along with her friend were the first to go to the house and find Lynda, she mentions it when talking to former metropolitan police dci Colin Sutton on West End Murders. I recommend people to watch it, people can google where they can watch it. I can't remember which daughter mentioned that Lynda was right up close to the door. But that goes with another witnesses statement that when she was passing by as she did every school day, that she heard screaming/squealing and the door slam shut, she didn't see it, but as she was directly infront of the house she has no doubt that's where it came from and it was heightened by the fact it was very quiet, since snow absorbs sound plus there was very little traffic that day due to the snow.

Amateur opinion and speculation

From what I gathered, the ex bunnies that have talked to the former policeman who reviewed the case on 2002 and since, the bunnies hadn't named anyone. The police investigated that it may be someone from her work thoroughly.
The only name that frequently popped up, although I don't thinks he actually killed her, but it's possible he knew the person who did it, even if he didn't known that that person had killed her, was Abdul Khawaja, a networking, Mr Fixit who was paid by Arab business men to make things happen, find them protection/body guards and given perks and probably money by the Playboy Club to keep bringing high spending clients. There has been word of him fixing up clients with willing Bunnies as well as taking Bunnies on holiday. The police investigated him and associates with zeal.

However the same person who killed Eve also killed a 16 year old school girl down a dark alley on the far side of London, with no links to the West End etc, a quiet, studious, girl next door rather than the glamour girl Eve was.
The murderer also marked up her face and breasts like he did Eve. As stated, to remove their beauty. Lynne may not have been a glamour girl, aspiring model like Eve, but she was pretty.

I see some links with the Black Dahlia, although there was no dismemberment, he did almost totally remove her head.
She was posed, as was Lynne, for the people finding her to be shocked and possibly, felt by him, a way to degrade them even in death.
There have been no signs in any way that a female was involved in either case. Mostly a very twisted man who hated females. May have suffered rejection or abuse from a female, may have felt females were beneath him. May like Levi Bellfield have hated blondes, Lynne didn't have blonde hair, she had light brown from what I have seen in photos and at times it looks blonde, at night under artificial light, she may have looked dark blonde.
Btw I found out years ago, under the colour, can't think of the word, colour coding? Of hair colours by hairdressers, colourists, that mousey brown hair was actually classed as dark blonde.

 

[jojojaja]

Reminder of Lynda Farrow's thread, who may or may not be linked, but will continually pop up due to people thinking that her death is linked and because there is so much in common with Eve's death, location, snow, young, blonde, glamorous, linked to casinos, west end, killed at home after just arriving home, only 4 years after Eve's murder, nearly decapitated....there are some distinct differences too.

How would she know this? The SAS were virtually unknown to the general public until the Iranian Embassy siege in 1980 and, with very few exceptions indeed, its members still keep a very low profile after leaving it.

Well presumably the security person who must have claimed to her that he was ex-SAS he must have heard of them. MOO
