Getting A way with Murder
In the 1960s the ' Richardsons were to south London what the Krays were to the East End. The second programme in this series, narrated by Bob Hoskins , charts the growth of London's criminal gangs through the early 60s and shows how gangsters got away with murder.
Previously unpublished scene-of-crime photographs and interviews with ex-gangsters detail the rise and fall of Charlie Richardson and his infamous gang of torturers and fraudsters. One former member, now living in South
Africa, describes horrific torture sessions in which victims were drugged and given electric shocks.
Richardson escaped justice for years by the simplest method - paying the police. For the first time the policeman who smashed the gang talks of how he managed to break through this circle of corruption. Producer Frank Simmonds
Series producer Lorraine Heggessey
