This is Part Four of Ten of The Soho Strangler.

By the morning of Friday 17th April 1936, word had spread around Soho that 43-year-old Jeanne-Marie Cotton had been murdered; strangled in her own flat, using her own scarf, with no suspects or motive.

It seemed like a random unprovoked attack on a defenceless woman for no reason. It was a case which would have been forgotten, until it was connected to an unnervingly similar murder two streets south and five months earlier upon another French brunette in her early forties. Was this a coincidence?

• Date: Friday 17th April 1936
• Location: 3rd Floor, Denard Manufacturing, 65 Margaret Street, London, UK, W1
• Victim: 1 (Jeanne-Marie Cotton, also Marie or Jeanette Cousins)
