A Charmed Life: Episode 12

Always True Crime
About this episode

This week we are examine a case spanning five UK police forces over 15 years.  This case involves police incompetence, astonishingly inept decisions from the prison service, bizarre inquest verdicts, armed robbery, rape, a drowning, murder and conspiracy theories.  What is there not to like?  In this edition of the weekly UK True Crime Podcast we look at a deeply disturbing case where a series of unsolved crimes allow the sadistic perpetrator to grow in confidence, resulting in increasingly violent attacks and murder.  Listen now and let us know your thoughts via our social channels.
