Few people will feel sympathy for Ian Huntley, who this week was seriously attacked inside prison. The murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Soham remain among the most abhorrent crimes in modern British history - acts so senseless they are almost impossible to comprehend. The man reported to have carried out the attack was Anthony Russell. Back in October 2024, I covered Russell’s own crimes - a week of shocking violence that left three people dead and exposed just how dangerous he is. In light of this latest development, I’ve decided to re-release that episode today - to revisit who Anthony Russell is, what he did, and how his name has once again returned to the headlines.

In this special episode, I revisit the murder of Vicky Hall in Felixstowe in 1999. Today, serial killer Steve Wright was sentenced for Vicky’s murder, his sixth known killing. I break down the developments from court at the sentencing hearing, reflect on the police investigation and its unanswered questions, explore why Wright may have chosen to confess after so many years, and consider what this case means for the possibility of further undiscovered victims.

When a workplace affair ends, the fallout doesn’t stay private. Loyalties fracture, tension poisons the environment, and what was once whispered behind closed doors becomes impossible to escape. Careers, reputations, and mental health can all be collateral damage when personal betrayal collides with professional life. In the story today from Norfolk, the end of an affair leads to one person looking for revenge and ends in the most shocking violence.

Janet Murgatroyd was just 20 when she was killed. A student at the University of Central Lancashire, and a part-time staff member with Lancashire Police, she had so much to look forward to and enjoy. But tragically, her body was found in the River Ribble in Preston after a night out in 1996. Today I have re-released my coverage of her murder from June 2017 as nobody has still been convicted of Janet's murder. Anyone with information can call Lancaster Police on 101. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 5555111.

The seemingly random and brutal attack shocked the local community and sparked a major investigation. This episode examines the events leading up to Julia’s death, the evidence that led police to her killer, and the court case that followed - a case that raised troubling questions about violence, vulnerability, and safety in everyday spaces.

All the data tells us that we are most likely to be harmed by those we know. But for most of us our real nightmares are about being snatched by a total stranger in the dark of the night when nobody is around to help us.

As you know, in the true crime world there might be an idiot or two....ok, maybe three...but in the nine years I have been involved in podcasting I have met some really lovely people. One of these is Mark, the co-host of the Seeing Red podcast and he is someone I always find myself chatting to at the bar late into the night at any event. He is always so generous with his knowledge and insights and is such a wonderful person and great company. Mark has a brand new podcast launching today, Dead Famous. Here is the first episode of Mark's brand new podcast about the death of Caroline Flack.

You may have listened to the 'True Crime Round Up' this year, where me and Stuart, host of the British Murders Podcast, talked about all things true crime once a month. Well, due to the popularity of this show we now release it every Wednesday on a separate feed and it is called the 'True Crime Catch Up'. You can listen every week on the usual podcast apps or you can watch us on YouTube. The link below will take you to Spotify, Apply and YouTube and if you enjoy the show, please do follow us there so we can continue to grow the show. This week, we look at the shocking 1980 murder of John Lennon in New York which shocked the world. What followed raised uncomfortable questions that continue to surface after acts of extreme violence. In this podcast, we examine the murder and the intense focus placed on The Catcher in the Rye, the book carried by his killer, Mark David Chapman. We explore how quickly media attention shifted from the crime itself to the idea that books, films, and popular culture can influence real-world violence, and whether that connection stands up to scrutiny.

The Ultimate Traitor explores the chilling true story of Robert Hendy-Freegard — the conman who posed as an MI5 agent and manipulated his victims through fear, loyalty and lies. A real-life game of trust and betrayal that echoes The Traitors, this episode examines how deception became a weapon — and how ordinary people were drawn into his control, with so many lives destroyed. In the end he was just a Traitor, playing a game that nobody agreed to play.

Today I am re-releasing an episode I recorded in 2019 about Allan Grimson, a totally depraved excuse for a man who murdered at least two Royal Navy Sailors and it is speculated, up to as many as twenty others. The reason I have re-released this episode for you today, is because as you may have heard, the police announced last week that they have ended the investigation into the disappearance of Simon Parkes in Gibraltar - a man widely thought to have been another of Grimson's victims. I don't think this story is widely enough known and so wanted to release it again as a tribute to the two men who were killed by Grimson - Nicholas Wright and Sion Jenkins - and to raise awareness in the hope that Simon's devastated family and friends can finally discover what happened to him.

The story from this week looks at a massive seizure of heroin and cocaine from a gang based in the north-west of England and rural north Wales. But what hit me is there is none of the drama we see in crime programmes on the television - it is a story of four men quietly going about their business under the radar, making money for themselves and causing untold misery in the communities where we all live. Depending on your view of the failure - or otherwise - of the so-called 'War on Drugs' then this story is either of real significance, or it doesn't really matter.... Hosted on Acast.
