Theodore Johnson

Theodore Johnson (born 1954) is a Jamaican-born English serial killer who killed his wife and two ex-girlfriends over a span of four decades. After the murder of his last victim, Angela Best, he was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 26 years. The Court of Appeal later increased Johnson's minimum sentence to 30 years. He moved to the United Kingdom in 1980 with his wife Yvonne, and started working at a car repair service centre shortly before killing his first wife. Johnson hit Yvonne over the head with a vase, before pushing her out off the balcony from the couple's ninth-floor Wolverhampton home.

Best's family, among them her son Raphael and her sisters Lorraine Jones and Valerie Archibold, described her loss as "immeasurable", adding that she loved her children and grandchildren dearly.

Camden and Islington NHS Trust, which was responsible for Johnson's care in the community since 2004, said it would provide Best's family with an independent report and that Johnson's treatment complied with conditions set by the Mental Health Tribunal which oversaw his discharge in 1997.
