Christie was born in Yorkshire, England in 1899. He was unpopular at school and was bullied by his family. He enlisted in the Bitish army in 1916, and fought in [[World War I]], during which he was the victim of a gas attack, which he claimed left him without the ability to speak loudly for the rest of his life due to a personality disorder that forced him to feign illness or injury for attention.
Christie was born in Yorkshire, England in 1899. He was unpopular at school and was bullied by his family. Throughout his life, he suffered from impotence, leading to many failed sexual encounters, though a post-mortem autopsy found no physical abnormalities with his genitals. He enlisted in the British army in 1916, and fought in [[World War I]], during which he was the victim of a gas attack, which he claimed left him without the ability to speak loudly for the rest of his life due to a personality disorder that forced him to feign illness or injury for attention.


After marrying Ethel Simpson in 1920, Christie received several criminal convictions for theft, obtaining money on false pretences, "violent conduct" and hitting a woman over the head with a cricket bat, and began visiting prostitutes. He and his wife moved to the now-infamous 10 Rillington Place, where he lived until police began searching for him. He also began an affair with another woman, and was assaulted by her husband as a result.

Christie later fraudulently sublet Number 10 to a couple, and ran away. However, after the landlord evicted the couple and placed another tenant in their place, the second tenant discovered the corpses of Maloney, Nelson and MacLennan in an alcove while attempting to install a radio set, and called the police. As it was obvious that Christie had killed them and then fled, a manhunt for him began. Christie was arrested on 31 March after a police officer recognised him, and eventually admitted to the killings of all his victims under questioning. He was convicted of murder after a plea of insanity was rejected by a psychiatrist, and was executed by hanging on 15 July 1953.
