It’s time for a new episode of Switchblade Sisters Social Club! Dee and Emma are back to shine a lantern (possibly pilfered from an old crime scene) on the eerie twists and scandalous turns of the Teddington Towpath Murders of 1953. This is case of the double murders of Christine Reed and Barbara Songhurst by the despicable Alfred Charles Whiteway.
That’s right by our houses, y’all!
Dee and Emma discuss all the beautiful everything about Twickenham, from the Naked Ladies (safe for work, we promise, and also not us) and Jackie Radio.
Also why is no one applying to date us?
