George Frank Harvey murdered George Hamblin by battering him to death at the Westminster Poor Law Institution, Fulham Road, Chelsea, London on 26 October 1934.
He was also known as Charles Malcolm Lake.
They were both inmates at the Westminster Poor Law Institution and George Hamblin carried on a bookmaking business in the workhouse. George Harvey acted as a valet in the workhouse and was given a key to the storeroom which he sometimes allowed to be used by George Hamblin for gambling.
At 4.30pm on 25 October 1934 George Hamblin was seen in the storeroom and was found there dead the next morning. A hammer was found next to him that was probably used to kill him.
