Monsters Of Carmarthenshire: Mr X

Always True Crime
About this episode
A horrific, sickening tale, truly one of the most disturbing tales I have covered to date on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast drops here this time around - a tale that emerged in South Wales in 2018.

Once you hear it, I guarantee it's a tale you are never likely to forget, and you'll see exactly why it was selected for this series' Monsters Of tale.

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of a sexual nature and involving children, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
