UK UK- Eve Stratford, 21, Bunny @ Playboy Club, posed for mag. cover, later her mutilated & grotesquely staged body found @ home, London 18/03/75 *DNA*

[Eastend Eagle]

It is stated that Eve Stratford's hands were bound behind her back and a scarf tied around her ankle. Though the fact that her virtual decapitation is clearly grotesque, I don't understand what is meant by her body having been ' GROTESQUELY staged '?

Trying but failing now to find the exact article that referenced a 'grotesquely staged body', but it still appears to have looked that way, imo, speculation.

Murdered Playboy Bunny found with throat slit in flat as killer on the loose

Eve Stratford's mutilated body was discovered by her boyfriend at her flat in Leyton, just an hour after detectives believe she was killed

www.mylondon.news

'Eve was murdered in the most sadistic manner, with pathologists believing her throat to have been slit between eight to 12 times in the brutal attack. Her neck and face had been extensively mutilated and she was partially unclothed, with a nylon stocking tied around one ankle and her hands bound with a scarf.''

''She was also only dressed in pink underwear with a nylon negligee open at the front. A post-mortem examination held at Walthamstow mortuary gave her cause of death as knife wounds to the throat.

Detectives later called it one of the most horrific murder scenes they had witnessed, and a major investigation was launched that received significant press coverage''

Model's head 'almost severed' in brutal unsolved Playboy Bunny murder

Eve Stratford, 21, wanted to do more than just wait tables as a Playboy Bunny. But just days after telling her manager she wanted to do something else with her life, she was found with her throat slashed so savagely her head was almost severed

www.mirror.co.uk

''She had been raped and had been tied up with her own stockings, one tying her arms behind her back, the other securing her ankles.
The bunch of flowers she had bought lay next to her blood-spattered body.''

And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave''

As police believe the killer of Lynne Weedon must have known the Hounslow area well and there is found DNA in these cases, it is a pity that both these murders predate the use of DNA evidence in criminal inquiries as otherwise police may have taken DNA samples of males living in the Hounslow area at the time.

There was a cloying smell in Lynda Farrow's home, which could be explained by coolant leaking from her fridge. I'm wondering whether the killer is a fridge engineer or something like that.

Looking for various reasons for the cloying smell, some were suggested earlier in the thread like diabetes -

Heroin (or similar) drug addicts might leave a cloying smell behind, someone who works as an exterminator and no insult to anybody, but some actors and dancers take pride in their smelly rehearsal outfits because it represents how hard they have worked. complete speculation, imo. fwiw

The killer was probably a butcher if he was fat and handy with a knife. Imo. We should look for a local butcher near Eva's house.

I'm assuming the suspect from that article is still alive, hence why they're not being named?
