KlappentextrnrnWhen Elsie Ralph, young mother of three, began a clandestine affair with a younger man David McGreavy, she could have had no inkling of the horror this relationship would eventually bring into her life. He shouted at her, but instead of giving her her bottle, he put his hand over her mouth and smothered her until she died from suffocation. The results of this evaluation was never relayed to Mcgreavy’s parents, nor has ever been made public in the aftermath of his crimes. Despite his father’s concerns after joining the navy, like many other men, David changed very quickly.

McGreavy then impaled their bodies on the spiked garden railings of a house in Gillam Street, Rainbow Hill.He got the wild idea that if the book were destroyed, he would be left alone in his current position. However, this has been refused each time due to the wave of public hatred that still to this day remains against him. Connew has opined that although people remembered the crime, the name of David McGreavy was not well remembered because of the lack of a lengthy court proceeding with the accompanying coverage. At first, McGreavy denied any responsibility, but, several hours later said, "It was me, but, it wasn’t me," after which he described in graphic detail what he had done.
