An Unlikely Contract Killer; Episode 406

mardi 27 août 2024 • Duration 29:02

Local man 38 year old Graeme Woodhatch was at the Royal Free hospital in London for a routine operation when he collapsed and died whilst on the phone outside the ward. But when medics looked more closely at Graeme's injuries, it turned out that he had been shot four times, seemingly by a professional contract killer. But who would have wanted to kill Graeme and why? In the episode this week we follow the twists of the investigation as a most unlikely killer is revealed.

A Chain of Events (part 2/2): Episode 405

mardi 20 août 2024 • Duration 26:47

Last week we heard how Marian Bates was murdered at her jewellery shop in Nottingham in front of her husband Victor and daughter Xanthe during a botched armed robbery. One of the criminals who was sent to prison for 13 years in connection for conspiracy to rob Marian’s jewellers was Craig Moran. And in April 2017, Moran was out of prison and looking to make up for the lost years behind bars. In the episode this week, we follow his organised crime career from his release to the current day.

The Reconstruction: Episode 397

mercredi 26 juin 2024 • Duration 27:16

It was a bright winters day in Sheffield at about 4pm as two friends were walking to return a drill bit to a tool factory. As the walked, they saw something just off the pavement in the hedges – it hadn’t been covered up and was easily spotted. It was a three foot holdall.

The two men who found it carried it down the road, thinking it contained something valuable like an engine; it was certainly big enough. The bag was covered by a bedding sheet tied with rope and the body was wrapped in polythene. They undid the rope, unzipped the bag, peeled open the polythene and got the shock of their lives. They had found a badly decomposed body - a body that was soon confirmed to be that of a man who had been murdered a number of years before.

Just who had dumped the body in this area where it would easily be found. And who had killed him - and why?

His Last Fare: Episode 312

mercredi 9 novembre 2022 • Duration 25:33

All murder cases are dreadful, with the effects rippling widely, sometimes for generations. But today, from rural Derbyshire, I cover one of those stories almost impossible to comprehend. A random murder and more than this, a murder seemingly just for fun....

A Man on a Bus: Episode 311

mardi 1 novembre 2022 • Duration 24:12

So how many times have you been on public transport and somebody is behaving badly near you? Has it made you anxious, concerned or terrified? In the story today, we look at a bus travelling from Victoria in Central London to Lewisham.

One passenger is agitated and angry and makes all 37 passengers feel uncomfortable. Just the one person on the bus, 56 year old Herbie Williams, spoke up to call out this behaviour, and in this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, I tell Herbie's story....

The Remote Cottage: Episode 310

mardi 25 octobre 2022 • Duration 26:54

The peace and remoteness of The Fens, in the east of England is a big draw to many. And it was to Connie and Janice Fenn, who enjoyed their life of solitude breeding whippets. So just why would anyone want to brutally murder them for no apparent reason? In this episode of the UK True Crime podcast we examine just what happened....

The Night Shift: Episode 309

mardi 18 octobre 2022 • Duration 25:39

Colleagues of 28 year old Samantha Eastwood were concerned when she failed to turn up for her night shift at the hospital in Stoke on Trent. When she had left them at 07:45 that morning she had been her normal self and this was quite out of character. Her family didn't know where she was and there was no sign of Samantha at her house? Just what had happened to her?

The Walk Home: Part 2/2. Episode 308

mercredi 12 octobre 2022 • Duration 24:51

Last week, we looked at the murder of 26 year old Jong-Ok Shin, who was walking home from a Bournemouth nightclub and just metres from the door of her home when she was attacked and she tragically died from her injuries. There were no witnesses to this crime.

Shortly afterwards, local drug addict Omar Benguit was arrested and convicted of murder and over 20 years later he is still in prison. But was he guilty of this dreadful crime? He says no and many believe his conviction to be unsafe. But if Benguit wasn't responsible just who was - there are a number of suspects.....

From Bad Women: The Blackout Ripper Stalks London’s War-Torn Streets

mercredi 12 octobre 2022 • Duration 16:15

Here’s a preview of Bad Women: The Blackout Ripper.

Over a single week in February 1942, a depraved serial killer stalked London’s dark and WWII bomb-ravaged streets, hunting for victims in the city’s bars and clubs. But the victims of the so-called Blackout Ripper are now all but forgotten.

Using new research from police files, court transcripts and exhaustive genealogical studies, season 2 of Hallie Rubenhold’s Bad Women reconstructs the lives of the women The Blackout Ripper brutally attacked and murdered and examines why their deaths were swept from view.
