Camden New Journal - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 6 September 2007

Ruth Ellis

• IN your article (August 30) I have been quoted as saying Ruth Ellis decided to have an abortion in Holloway prison the day after the shooting. This is not correct.
I found in recently released documents at the National Archives that on April 11, 1955, having been admitted to Holloway Prison hospital the day after the shooting, Ruth Ellis admitted to the prison doctor that she had just had an abortion.
