A Triple Murder: Episode 411

Always True Crime
About this episode

In just one week three people had been murdered in the West Midlands and others had been attacked by the prime suspect, Anthony Russell. The local community were scared by what had happened and naturally concerned for their own safety. Detectives knew they needed to find Russell quickly and launched a major manhunt - before he could kill again.


In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast I look at this week of terror in the West Midlands.
