Uk True Crime Podcast

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....Sourceshttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1291093/Murderer-Colin-Cheethams-chilling-photo-album.htmlhttp://www.taxi-driver.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12285&start=40          https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2010/jun/30/gun-fanatic-colin-cheethamhttp://johnhalley.uk/Death%20-%20Stuart%20Ludlam.htmhttps://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11586644/gun-fanatic-killed-innocent-taxi-driver-dies-jail/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/murdered-taxi-driver-stuart-ludlam-may-have-been-victim-of-feud-wmxdzqjtfnf Hosted on Acast.

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....Writing credit: Chris Wood Hosted on Acast.

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.

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?

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.....Sourceshttp://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Crim/2014/690.htmlhttp://www.homepage-link.to/justice/judgements/benguit/Scan%2018.pdfhttps://www.thejusticegap.com/omar-benguit-all-i-ever-wanted-was-the-truth-to-come-out-i-am-innocent/https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280658448_A_Briefing_Paper_on_Issues_and_Events_Surrounding_the_Omar_Benguit_Case_Charminster_and_the_Murder_of_Jong_Oki_Shin_12th_July_2002https://thetab.com/uk/2021/05/05/uns

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.

In warm weather, Bournemouth on the south coast of England is a nice place to spend some time.  On the summer evening when we join the story, 26 year old Jong-Ok Shin 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.

This week, we head to the north-west of England and a local theatre group. The theatre is a serious business here and the productions put on are of a very high quality, but it is also very sociable. In the episode this week, two couples from the group begin socialising, but then Chris Linaker and Jenny Cupit begin a very passionate 16 month affair, where they explore their sexual boundaries. But as we have seen so often on the UK True Crime podcast, an affair which is about sex for one party and love for another, often ends badly - and this week, we see a shocking and violent outcome.1, Please support my sponsorUK True Crime Podcast listeners get 10% off their first month at www.BetterHelp.com/TRUECRIME. 2, Buy tickets for my live show in Manchester in Octoberhttps://www.murdermiletours.com/liveshow.html?fbclid=IwAR3c-Ml3b0N9QKTu1Y7QYKMdBcHwyIMUdPlSyZ3Wo6TU4H737kWlYb7t-TA3, Please buy my book 'Gone Fishing' about the life and crimes of Angus Sinclairhttps://mangobooks.co.uk/products/gone-fishing4, Other refer

It was early on a summers morning in the English Channel, not far from Exeter, when the fishermen pulled up their nets. They were heavy and they were excited by what they may have caught. They found themselves looking at the fully clothed body of a middle-aged man and immediately called the police. The difficulty the police experienced was that there was no ID on the man at all, just an expensive rolex watch on his wrist. Would this help them find the man and just what happened to him?Referenced siteswww.patreon.com/uktruecrimehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrimewww.uktruecrime.comSourceshttps://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymouth-news/rolex-murder-how-police-caught-516448.amp?fbclid=IwAR37_lJofAr3MStsfCsU_ggZsNUWfKbBrUQtVNalrMQ-4eh5yYaZSYVBAk4https://medium.com/crimebeat/the-insanely-bizarre-murder-mystery-of-ronald-joseph-platt-6254fa29bd6ehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Johnson_Walkerhttps://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/daughter-speaks-out-against-evil-father/article18219037/ Hosted
