To Kill and Kill Again by Roy Archibald Hall

To Kill and Kill Again by Roy Archibald Hall

The true story of con man, thief and murderer, Roy Archibald Hall. Born in Glasgow, Roy Hall soon realized that he had an instinctive gift for crime - and quickly became a skilful jewel thief. His reputation grew with a succession of daring scams and he moved to London. There he became a member of the glitzy London scene - a friend to Lords and criminals, his risque lifestyle attracting attention and admiration. However, life took an unexpected turn when Roy met his first true love. He could not have known that such happiness would lead to a vicious and bloody murder. The killing tipped Roy over the edge. A series of brutal murders followed and soon Roy's days of freedom were numbered. After a protracted police chase, he was run to ground and is currently serving a life sentence.

Roy Archibald Hall was one of the most notorious criminals of the 20th century--a conman, jewel thief, and murderer--and spent much of his life in and out of prison. He committed his first murder in 1975, while working as a butler to Lady Hudson at her palatial home in Scotland. His former lover David Wright arrived at the house and was employed as a gamekeeper. After a vicious argument, Hall murdered Wright and hid the body. It was the beginning of a string of murders that only stopped when, in 1978, the law caught up with him and he was arrested. He died in Kingston Prison in 2002.
