Fréquence : 1 épisode/5j. Total Éps: 400

British Murders is a UK true crime podcast exploring both headline making investigations and lesser known cases that deserve to be remembered.

Hosted by Yorkshireman Stuart Blues, the show covers listener suggested cases from across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Each episode examines what happened, how the case unfolded, and the wider social, cultural, and historical context surrounding the crime.

The show covers British crime cases ranging from domestic abuse, coercive control, missing persons, policing failures, miscarriages of justice, and the long-term effects of violent crime on those left behind. With care, balance, and empathy, placing victims, not offenders, at the centre of every story, British Murders focuses on the human cost of murder and the lasting impact on families and communities.

Alongside case deep dives, the podcast features conversations with journalists, authors, campaigners, and criminal justice professionals about responsible true crime storytelling.

New episodes every Thursday!

S17E01 | Shafilea Ahmed (Warrington, Cheshire, 2003)

Saison 17 · Épisode 1

jeudi 6 mars 2025 • Durée 36:06

In September 2003, 17-year-old Shafilea Ahmed vanished from her home in Warrington, Cheshire, leaving behind a worrying trail of unanswered questions. A bright and ambitious student, she had dreams of independence, but those dreams clashed with the expectations placed upon her by her family.

For years, her disappearance remained a mystery, until a shocking revelation finally exposed the horrifying truth. What really happened to Shafilea that night? And why did it take nearly a decade for justice to be served?

By covering Shafilea's story, I hope to raise awareness of the devastating reality of so-called "honour-based" abuse and the urgent need to challenge it. If you or someone you know is at risk or are experiencing it currently, please seek help from one of the below resources:

British Murders Unsolved | Episode 5: Dr Michael Meenaghan (Oxford, Oxfordshire, 1994)

jeudi 27 février 2025 • Durée 25:13

In December 1994, 33-year-old Dr Michael Meenaghan was in his kitchen making a cup of tea when a single shotgun suddenly tore through his window, striking him in the chest. He somehow managed to dial 999 but collapsed before he could say a word.

When officers arrived, they found him slumped on the floor, the phone still hanging off the hook, surrounded by a pool of his own blood.

Over 30 years later, his murder remains a complete mystery. No weapon, no suspects, and no clear motive - just one chilling question: Who wanted Dr Meenaghan dead, and why?

S11E04 | The Murder of Joanne Nelson (Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, 2005)

Saison 11 · Épisode 4

mercredi 18 octobre 2023 • Durée 26:26

In this episode, I tell the story of Joanne Nelson, a 22-year-old woman murdered in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, in February 2005.

Joanne and her fiancée, Paul Dyson, lived together in Hotham Road North, Hull, but Dyson had a dark secret that Joanne was oblivious to.

Not only did Dyson have previous criminal convictions, including the assault of his ex-wife on their wedding night, but he also idolised his dad, Peter Dyson, who had a murder conviction against his name.

On or around Valentine's Day in 2005, Dyson strangled Joanne to death with his bare hands after arguing about household chores. He then drove 45 miles north to the village of Brandsby, where he dumped her body.

Reporting Joanne as missing and even taking part in a TV appeal, which included a display of "crocodile tears", Dyson was eventually caught and pleaded guilty to her murder on the first day of his trial in November 2005.

Judge Tom Cracknell handed him a life sentence with a minimum term of 16 years, and in early 2022, Dyson was released from prison as a free man.

S11E03 | The Manslaughter of Nicole Lewis (Tuebrook, Merseyside, 2002)

Saison 11 · Épisode 3

mercredi 11 octobre 2023 • Durée 30:50

In this episode, I tell the story of Nicole Lewis, a 24-year-old mother-of-two murdered in Tuebrook, Merseyside, on March 5, 2002.

Nicole and her fiancée, Mark Wilkinson, separated in February 2002 after a domestic incident the previous month. Mark had violently shaken Nicole so roughly after an argument that she had marks around her neck.

A month after moving out, Nicole was invited to the couple's home after Wilkinson said he had arranged for a relationship counsellor to visit and talk to them about their problems. That was nothing more than a ruse.

After heading upstairs with Wilkinson, Nicole was strangled to death and placed inside a wardrobe in the front bedroom.

Wilkinson was found guilty of manslaughter, rather than murder, in September 2002 and received a four-year jail sentence, of which he served just 33 months.

Interview #43 | The Strange Case of Reverend Emyr Owen: A True Crime Horror Documentary with Filmmaker Rhys Edwards

dimanche 8 octobre 2023 • Durée 33:32

I welcome Welsh filmmaker Rhys Edwards to the show in this interview episode to discuss his documentary, 'The Rev.'

As a cameraman, Rhys has won many awards and filmed hundreds of factual and entertainment programmes, building a stellar reputation as a documentary filmmaker.

'The Rev' is a true crime horror documentary that explores the life and inner turmoil of Reverend Emyr Owen, a notorious North Wales vicar who cut off the private parts of three male parishioners left in his charge before burial.

Its Welsh version, titled 'Y Parchedig Emyr Ddrwg', won the award for Best Single Documentary at the 2022 BAFTA Cymru Awards.

'The Rev' (a feature-length English language version of the documentary) premieres exclusively on the Icon Film Channel on October 9, 2023, followed by all major UK digital platforms from January 8, 2024.

S11E02 | The Murder of Gillian Atkins (Deeping St James, Lincolnshire, 1983)

Saison 11 · Épisode 2

mercredi 4 octobre 2023 • Durée 34:42

In this episode, I tell the story of Gillian Atkins, a 14-year-old girl murdered in Deeping St James, Lincolnshire, on April 14, 1983.

Gillian popped out to buy a packet of crisps that evening and was last seen standing alone on a bridge in the middle of the village between roughly 8:30 pm and 9:00 pm.

She never came home, leading to a frantic search by her family and dozens of police officers, which sadly ended the following day when her body was discovered in a neighbour's back garden.

Robert France was the person responsible for sexually assaulting and killing Gillian. He was arrested on suspicion of murder two weeks after her body was discovered.

France received a life sentence in November 1983 and served 27 years before being released in April 2010.

He was subsequently sent back to jail for five years in March 2011 after burgling a house in Peterborough in October 2010, just six months after being released.

Interview #42 | Beyond the Prison Bars: A Conversation with Ex-Governor Vanessa Frake-Harris MBE

dimanche 1 octobre 2023 • Durée 01:02:51

I welcome Vanessa Frake-Harris MBE to the show in this interview episode to discuss her book, 'The Governor: My Life Inside Britain's Most Notorious Prisons.'

Having worked for 16 years in a high-security women's prison dealing with the likes of Rosemary West and Myra Hindley, Vanessa Frake-Harris thought she'd seen it all. That was until she was transferred to the notorious Wormwood Scrubs.

Thrust into a 'man's world', her no-nonsense approach and fearless attitude saw her swiftly rise through the ranks. From dealing with celebrity criminals and busting drug rings to recruiting informers and being subject to violent attacks, her hard-hitting but often humorous memoir reveals all about life behind bars in unflinching detail.

Vanessa was awarded an MBE for her work for the prison service in 2012. She retired early from the prison service, after 26 years, while the Government funding was still in place and things were going well in her job as she wanted to go out on a high.

More recently, in a complete career change, she baked cakes at Angela Reed's Cafe in Saffron Walden and volunteers at Wood Green Animal Sanctuary.

Vanessa's book was released on April 15, 2021, and is available to purchase here:

S11E01 | The Murder of Kelly Hyde (Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, 2007)

Saison 11 · Épisode 1

mercredi 27 septembre 2023 • Durée 27:36

In this episode, I tell the story of Kelly Hyde, a 24-year-old woman murdered in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, on September 27, 2007.

Kelly dropped her car off at a local garage that morning as its MOT test was booked. As she walked home with her dog Scrappy, she was followed by a 16-year-old boy as she walked on a bridle path.

Adrian Jones did not know Kelly, and to date, no motive has been established for what he did, but that morning, he beat Kelly to death using a piece of gym equipment.

He was arrested just days after Kelly's body was discovered on September 30 in a stream near a disused colliery.

Seeing as a minimum of 12 years imprisonment was where the Judge had to begin, Mr Justice Davis handed Jones an 11-year and 79-day sentence, given that Jones had already spent 286 days in custody. Jones attempted to appeal his murder conviction, but the Court of Appeal rejected it in October 2009.

After Jones died of natural causes on February 18, 2018, his appeal continued, with his family pursuing the case and referring it to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), who referred it to the Court of Appeal.
