Journalist Marcel Theroux investigated the three women’s murders which remain unsolved to this day.
Cuttings from the Slough Evening Mail will feature in this documentary. The paper was originally launched by Westminster Press and is now part of Newsquest.
Eve was 21 at the time of her death and worked at London’s Playboy Club before she was raped and killed at her home in Leyton, East London, on March 18, 1975.
Six months later, Lynne, who was 16, had gone out to celebrate her O-Level results when she was hit over the head with an object and raped in Hounslow, in West London. She died a week later in hospital on September 10.
