Former Met Police DCI Colin Sutton leads an investigation into the cold case of the ‘Bunny Girl’ murders, uncovering a potential serial killer who may have gone unnoticed for decades. The first episode focuses on the murder of Lynda Farrow, a 29-year-old mother of two who was killed in her Woodford, London home on January 19, 1979. Farrow, a croupier at a West End club, was brutally stabbed to death after a violent assault. Her eight-year-old daughter, Justine, discovered her body after returning home early from school due to heavy snow.
Lynda’s murder has sparked connections to notorious killers, including Peter Sutcliffe. Media speculation has linked her case to the murder of Eve Stratford, as both women worked in West End nightspots and had their throats cut. With a renewed police appeal, detectives aim to solve the case that has baffled them for over three decades.
The series, ‘West End Murders’, looksinto the stories of three murdered women: Eve Stratford, Lynda Farrow, and Lynne Weedon, a schoolgirl whose case appears unrelated but may hold a crucial link. By examining these deaths, Sutton and his team hope to expose the pattern of a potential serial killer and bring a 40-year-old mystery to a close.
West End Murders: Lynda Farrow airs on Crime & Investigation on Monday, 23 September 2024, at 10 pm.
