This case proceeded in London and was said to be a strong influence in the abolishment of capital punishment in the United Kingdom. Evans was executed in 1950 for the murder of his wife and 13-month-old daughter. Evans maintained his innocence through the whole trial and told investigators that his neighbor, John Christie murdered his family.

The police coerced Timothy Evans into a false confession by threatening him.
Case Study Report ARTHUR PHILLIP FREEMAN INTRODUCTION On January 29th of 2009, Arthur Phillip Freeman murdered his four year old daughter, Darcey Freeman, by throwing her off the West Gate Bridge in Melbourne. Freeman was a father of three, being Benjamin (born 1 February 2000); Darcey (born 11 February 2004); and Jackson (born 24 February 2006).
