JONES, GENENE: World’s Most Evil Killers TV -
In September 1982 Chelsea McClellan had what appeared to be a severe reaction to an innoculation and died in a small hospital in Comfort, Texas. She was just 15 months old. Doctors couldn’t work out why Chelsea had died so suddenly. But the truth was she’d been murdered. And her killer was the nurse who was meant to be caring for her. The killer nurse was 32-year-old Genene Jones, and Chelsea McClellan was not her first victim. It’s believed this twisted angel of death could have taken the lives of over 50 babies and young children. World’s Most Evil Killers s6e10: Genene Jones, Sky Crime 2021

A woman’s body by Hammersmith’s bridge … Two months later a second body was found on the shore below Duke’s Meadow. Great Crimes & Trials of the 20th Century: Jack the Stripper/Hammersmith Murders
Jack the Stripper was their [press] inspiration when they realised that a killer of prostitutes was on the prowl. ibid.
The police were sure that all the victims had been hired then murdered then used for necrophia. ibid.
A security guard [Mungo Ireland] … Before he could be questioned, this man took his own life. ibid.
In 1921 Harold Jones murdered two young girls ... He was just a fifteen year old boy himself ... Did Harold Jones go on to become the man who become known as Jack the Stripper? Fred Dinenage: Murder Casebook s1e6: The Welsh Child Killer, CI 2011
After almost ninety minutes of deliberation, the jury returned their verdict: they found fifteen-year-old Harold Jones not guilty. ibid.
He received a hero’s welcome. ibid.
Back on the streets, and some believe would kill again ... I want to know what happened when he was released from prison, and how Jones may be linked to a series of killings that were committed by a man known to police as Jack the Stripper. ibid.
After twenty years of imprisonment the authorities believed the boy who had killed two young girls was fit for release. ibid.

Harold Jones was never questioned. ibid.
In today’s society a child murdering another child for pleasure still shocks us. ibid.
One case continues to intrigue me: a series of murders known as the Hammersmith nude murders. This is the biggest unsolved serial murder case in British criminal history. The killer is even more prolific than Jack the Ripper … He sadistically murdered six women: the killer abducted his victims from what was then the red light district around Shepherd’s Bush in west London; he then proceeded to strangle them, strip them and remove their teeth. Professor David Wilson, Dark Son: The Hunt for a Serial Killer, BBC 2019
A genuine prime suspect … A man who went unnoticed by detectives, a man who as a boy had killed two young girls in the quiet Welsh town of Abertillery; their deaths have eerie parallels with the Jack the Stripper killings … and that man’s name is Harold Jones. ibid.
After leaving prison, Harold Jones moved to London and lived at the heart of Jack the Stripper’s hunting grounds. ibid.
Jones’ psychiatric report reveals him to be an unreformed sexual sadist … With no treatment for the sexual sadism, Harold Jones left prison … He was lost in the fog of war. ibid.
Sexual sadists come in all shapes and sizes; Harold Jones was a sexual sadist even by the age of 15. David Wilson
There is outrage: somebody who could rape, strangle and batter a little girl can’t be part of our community. They must be a stranger to our community to come into our community. David Wilson
