✝️ Emily Elizabeth Dimmock, age 22 – September 11 1907, Camden, London, England, United Kingdom 🏴💔
Emily worked as a maid since her early teens. In 1903 at age 18 she decided to move to London. There she found herself staying in a brothel covered as a boarding house run by John William brothel. It did not take long until she was prostituted in the streets. After several years spent drinking and being prostituted in the streets of London she at age 22 got into a relationship with Bert Shaw. They rented a flat on St Pauls Road und planned to marry.
Emily wanted to get out of prostitution but did not succeed.
Emily was last seen with her regular client Robert Wood. Bert Shaw found her dead in her apartment. In the bedroom, the walls painted red with blood, the body of Emily lay naked on the bed. The killer had gruesomely slit her throat from ear-to-ear whilst she slept.
Wood was charged with Emily’s murder but aquitted. The case remains unsolved.
