On Christmas Day 2024, families across Britain gathered in homes decorated with twinkling lights and wreaths, settling in for an evening of festive films and leftover turkey. Along Santa Cruz Avenue in Bletchley, the sounds of celebration drifted through thin walls. But just after 5PM, those sounds were shattered by something else entirely. Screaming pierced through the cheerful facade. Then a woman emerged on a balcony. She was covered in blood as she screamed: “I can’t breathe!” SPONSORS - Rocket Money: Cancel your unwanted subcriptions and reach your financial goals faster at: http://rocketmoney.com/morbidology Alma: Alma has a bult in network of over 20,000 diverse therapists & 99% of them accept insurance.
