On the night of December 1st 1928 a pair of unidentified vagrants were slain near to the spot where Lawrence Bacon had fallen in the Regent's Canal on the previous Tuesday. The murders were unpleasantly gruesome, with rumours of disembowelments and worse. A witness claimed to see an inhuman monster killing the second victim.

On Wednesday 5th the corpse of Cec Watts was found floating in the canal with similar injuries to the previous 2 victims. Watts had been investigating Lawrence Bacon's activities at the instigation of Nathaniel Browne.

On the night of Friday December 7th the police cornered and shot dead the apparent perpetrator in the Engineering sheds behind Kings Cross Station. Oddly, although the police have assured the public that the killer is dead, they remain unidentified and no picture of the supposed killer was ever published.
