#354 - The Strangler’s Excuse (Matthew Kavanagh & Isaiah Dixon, Rugby)

Saturday the 12th of April 1958, two men – 60-year-old Isaiah Dixon and 32-year-old Matthew Kavanagh – returned to their boarding house at 11 Hillmorton Road in Rugby. Kavanagh strangled Dixon with his own tie, stole 34 10s from his pockets, went shopping, and confessed to his murder. But then in court, he denied murder, and used an alibi which had got many 1950s killers off a murder charge.

• Location: Ground floor bedsit, 11 Hillmorton Road, Rugby, Warwickshire,
• Date: Saturday the 12th of April 1958, evening,
• Victims: Isaiah Dixon (and Evelyn Ullah)
• Culprit: Matthew Kavanagh
