Place: 89 Addison Road, Notting Hill
Vera Page was found raped and strangled in some scrubland off of Addison Road in Notting Hill.
A man who was commonly believed to be her killer was questioned but there was not enough evidence against him other than a bandage that could have come off of his sore finger that he was missing and which was said to have been found on Vera Page’s dead body. He had also been seen in the area with a wheelbarrow and something suspicious in it around the time the body would have been placed in the scrubland.
