Albert Pierre Point (right), Britain's most famous executioner, was born in 1905 and has executed at least 400 people throughout his life. After World War II, Germany and Austria asked him to help execute convicted Nazi war criminals and paid him a large salary.
He bought a bar and worked while doing business. However, in 1950, he began to regret doing it. A friend who often drank at his bar came home drunk and killed his girlfriend — he sang a song to Albert on the night of the crime — and his death sentence was carried out by Albert. But what ultimately prompted him to retire was a woman.
Her name was Ruth Ellis and she was born in 1926. As a teenager, she entered a nightclub as a host, making a lot of money while also making a mess of life. In 1950, she married a divorced dentist with two sons. Soon, she was also pregnant, but after the child was born, the dentist did not recognize himself as the father of the child.
Once again, Ruth is thrown into the vortex by fate, and she meets racing driver David Blakely. He is usually polite, but,
Once you drink too much, you become someone else. Moreover, David was engaged, but they still lived together. Ruth had his child, but unfortunately miscarried. Their relationship began to drift apart. Ruth began to associate with Desmond Cutsen, forming a triangular relationship. During this time, David agreed to marry her, but, in January 1955, after a heated argument, she miscarried again.
Their relationship was almost completely over. David ignored him, and when he was with Cusson, he taught her to use a pistol. On April 10, 1955, she went to see David. David went home with his friends, seeing her as nothing, ruth pulled the pistol from her bag and chased David to death, the last bullet shot into the road, injuring passers-by.
Ruth was sentenced to death. At that time, the Death Penalty was in the process of being abolished in Britain, and many people jointly requested to avoid death. But Ruth was bent on death and refused their kindness. It was her girlfriend who brought flowers to visit.
It's Mrs. Violet Van Derelst, an anti-death activist who, oh, stands under the right wall and looks a little lonely. Naturally, the media also divided into different camps and expressed a lot of opinions. However, since she herself did not intend to appeal, the death penalty was also fixed. The executioner was none other than Albert.
