Louie Calvert murdered Lily Waterhouse 40 by battering and strangling her to death at 30 Amberley Road, Leeds on 31 March 1926.

Louie Calvert had been moving around from address to address in the Leeds area and had a background of wrong doing. Whilst living with a man she told him that she was pregnant, which was a lie, so that he would marry him which he did. She even went away to give birth to the fictional child and arranged to adopt a child to continue the charade.
