Born in 1914, Cummins was the well-educated son of a good British family, but his breeding somehow failed to take. Married at age 22, he was dismissed from a series of jobs for being unreliable and dishonest. Affecting an Oxford accent and posing as the illegitimate son of a British lord, Cummins was derided as "the Duke" by friends who saw through his disguise. When World War II erupted, Cummins joined the RAF as a cadet, residing in North London with his wife.
On February 9, 1942, Evelyn Hamilton, a 40-year-old teacher, was found strangled in a London air raid shelter. Although her purse was missing, she had not been raped or otherwise abused.
On February 10, Evelyn Oatley, 35, was found dead in her flat, stretched out nude on the bed. Her throat was slashed, her lower body mutilated with a can opener. Fingerprints were recovered from the weapon and a bedroom mirror, but without a suspect they were useless.
The following day, Margaret Lowe, age 43, was murdered in her London flat and mutilated with a razor blade, her wounds essentially identical to Oatley's. She would not be found for three more days, by which time London's "Blackout Ripper" had already claimed another victim .
Doris Jouannet was last seen alive around ten o'clock on the evening of February 13. She was already dead -- strangled with a stocking, her body mutilated with a razor -- by the time her husband, a hotel night manager, came home the next morning. Police were still swarming over the scene when their suspect struck again, in another part of London.
Approaching his prospective victim in a pub, the young airman followed her into the street and choked her unconscious, disturbed by passersby before he could complete the kill. In flight, he dropped a gas mask with his service number stenciled on it, but he either failed to notice or was too far gone to care. Immediately after that assault, another woman picked him up and took him home, where he attacked her and attempted strangulation. Frightened by the volume of her screams, he bolted from the flat and left his belt behind.
Swiftly identified by his service number, Cummins was arrested on return to his billet, twelve hours after the last incident. His fingerprints matched those from the Oatley murder scene, and Cummins confessed going home with another prostitute on February 10, sparing her life when he learned she had no money. Sentenced to die for his crimes, he was hanged on June 25, 1942. Ironically, his execution was accomplished in the middle of an air raid.
