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.

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
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?

From Bad Women: The Blackout Ripper Stalks London’s War-Torn Streets
mercredi 12 octobre 2022 • Duration 16:15
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.
