CASE SUMMARY

In the early 2000’s, London’s district of Soho was home to a number of clip joints – establishments posing as adult entertainment venues, with hostesses enticing male customers inside. The unsuspecting customers would then be presented with extortionate bills after spending just minutes conversing with the hostess – often with threats made by the club’s bouncers.

In 2004, an angry customer returned to a clip joint shortly after being conned and proceeded to stab the 23 year old hostess – named Camille Gordon – that convinced him to enter the building. Despite the murderer’s movements following the attack being caught on CCTV, police were unable to identify the suspect.
