UK True Crime Podcast

In the story this week from Cardiff, 26 year old Geraldine Palk was enjoying her life - she had a close family, lots of friends and a job she enjoyed. One night, she had been out with work colleagues in the City Centre and left the club after midnight. She shared a taxi home with three other people, and was dropped just yards from her home. But she never made it to the front door. The next day Geraldine's body was discovered by children playing.

Just who had killed Geraldine? And why?

The dream of owning property in The Caribbean plus gaining a large financial gain on your investment. For many of us it is the dream. And Essex businessman David Ames played on this as he lured investors with the promise of a Caribbean dream, but, the reality was a fraud he perpetrated which left thousands with the nightmare of losing life-savings and pensions.

Through glossy brochures, slick marketing events and the pulling power of so-called celebrities, he persuaded people to invest in off-plan holiday cabanas and apartments across the Caribbean and in Brazil. They lost everything whilst he and his family lived a life of luxury.

This week, I look at the scandal of Harlequin Properties.

Selling the Dream - UK True Crime

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Life was pretty good for Paul Brady. He had just got engaged to Emma and the big day was set for the following spring.

Paul was a foreman responsible for security at a number of local site and one sunny Saturday morning he met up with a joiner, David Collier, and headed to a local property to make some repairs after the house suffered some vandalism the evening before. By 2.10pm, all was done and the two men were driving away when the peace of the day was shattered and their path was blocked when a people carrier blocked their way along the road and another vehicle came up behind their cars – a classic pincer movement. Both men knew straight away it was an ambush and they were in trouble. These assailants weren’t amateurs – they were armed with metal bars and baseball bats and one had a shotgun. All were wearing black, tight-fitting ski masks and identical black hooded tops and black trousers. They weren’t messing about.

David managed to escape by jumping in a nearby river but Paul wasn't so lucky and suffered a dreadful beating. He was then taken away by the gang. Just who had kidnapped Paul Brady? And why?

Vikki Thompson lived in a village near Oxford with her husband Jonathan, two young children and the family dog, Daisy. At about 4pm one Saturday afternoon, Vikki took Daisy for her usual afternoon walk in the pretty countryside close to where she lived. Half an hour later, Daisy returned home with no sign of Vikki which was most unusual. Jonathan knew something was wrong and headed out to look for his wife where he was joined by others in the village. At just before 7.15pm Vikki was finally found by the railway embankment, but she had been attacked, suffering terrible injuries and despite an air ambulance taking her to hospital in Oxford, just six days later Vikki had died of her injuries.

In this episode of the UK true Crime podcast I ask just who killed Vicki - and why?

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.

I know, I know you don't use a travel agent any longer. But the service offered by Lyne Barlow, an independent travel agent in County Durham was incredible - way cheaper than everyone else and when you asked her why she would say that the bigger players ripped you off. And all your family and friends were using her and getting great deals on dream holidays. Why not get yourself a deal?

But unfortunately, that old adage about if something seems too good to be true it usually is, held true with the agency operated by Lyne Barlow. But her scale of deception was staggering....

Julie Hill was a nurse working in the endoscopy unit of the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield. Also working there at this time was Doctor Colin Shawcross and the obvious attraction between the couple led to a sexual relationship developing. There was a slight issue as both were married and living with their partners. However, the relationship continued to deepen and by the summer both realised that they wanted to be with each other. This meant they both had the dreadful task of telling their partners that they were leaving them. In this case these conversations resulted in the most shocking of outcomes...

It was a man with an Irish accent who made the warning call with a recognised code word to British Rail at Waterloo at about 8.50pm, saying that a bomb would go off at The London Stock Exchange in 20 minutes. But there was no bomb at the Stock Exchange. At 9.23om, a huge bomb exploded at The Baltic Exchange, half a mile from where the caller had said the attack would take place.

The result was terror, chaos, loss of life and multiple serious injuries. In this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, I tell the story of the horror that was The Baltic Exchange Bombing.

Last week we heard how Marian Bates was murdered at her jewellery shop in Nottingham in front of her husband Victor and daughter Xanthe during a botched armed robbery. One of the criminals who was sent to prison for 13 years in connection for conspiracy to rob Marian’s jewellers was Craig Moran. And in April 2017, Moran was out of prison and looking to make up for the lost years behind bars. In the episode this week, we follow his organised crime career from his release to the current day.

Marian Bates ran the Time Centre jewellery shop on Front Street in Nottingham with her family. On one normal day, Marian was working as usual with her husband Victor and daughter Xanthe when at about 13:30 armed robbers burst into the shop. Marian was shot during the robbery as she tried to defend her daughter and tragically lost her life at just 64 years old. This robbery, which only netted just about £1,000 for the thieves, resulted in a long chain of events...

Seventy seven year old Judith Richardson lived in Hexham in the north of England. Judith was often seen out and about in the town walking her beloved pet dog Hamish a West Highland Terrier. and was well known for her love of organ recitals at the Abbey. One day when her bag turned up in Newcastle, 20 miles from her home, it was handed in to police who arrived at her home to return the bag.

Knocking on Judith’s door brought about no response. There was no sign of a forced entry to the property, but something did not feel quite right. Deciding to force entry into the property, the officers were stunned to discover the body of Judith Richardson lying dead in her hallway. Just who would possibly have wanted to kill Judith? And why?

This week, we head to the South-West of England for a shocking story involving the mysterious world of outlaw motorcycle clubs.

There is a famous line about the Hells Angels motorcycle club – if you have to ask how to join the Hells Angels, you probably won’t understand the answer and membership probably isn’t for you.

The episode this week shows the strong ties of the members of these clubs, but on this occasion, a normal evening escalated to such an extent that an innocent man was left dead at the roadside.

The episode this week is from South Wales.

Fiona Scourfield lived on a farm with her partner, step-son, dog Bruno and 32 other animals all of whom Fiona adored. She loved animals and worked hard for charities supporting animal welfare, especially dogs.

But Fiona would be tragically murdered at just 54 by someone she had only ever shown love and affection. Shockingly, it was a member of her own family. This week, I look at just what happened to Fiona.

Horrible, threatening notes asking for pornographic pictures and threatening violence if the demands weren't met, based on the throw of a dice.

On this podcast I usually try to avoid the worst violence as I focus on the story. But there are some cases like this one from the north-east of England where Mark Shaw was so brutally attacked that the details of the violence are necessary to the story. Mark was killed by those close to him leaving his friends and family shocked and unable to quite comprehend just what had happened to Mark.

It was a bright winters day in Sheffield at about 4pm as two friends were walking to return a drill bit to a tool factory. As the walked, they saw something just off the pavement in the hedges – it hadn’t been covered up and was easily spotted.  It was a three foot holdall.

The two men who found it carried it down the road, thinking it contained something valuable like an engine; it was certainly big enough. The bag was covered by a bedding sheet tied with rope and the body was wrapped in polythene. They undid the rope, unzipped the bag, peeled open the polythene and got the shock of their lives. They had found a badly decomposed body - a body that was soon confirmed to be that of a man who had been murdered a number of years before.

Just who had dumped the body in this area where it would easily be found. And who had killed him - and why?

It was almost 5am on a wet and murky morning on an estate just outside Sutton Coldfield. The car pulled up and as the transaction was completed, the customer took a large knife out of his pocket and stabbed the driver of the car, 31 year old Gary Warner. Gary was seriously injured and hours later would lose his life in hospital.

But just who stabbed him? And why?

James Field had experienced a tough few years in his personal battle with drug addiction. Progress though, was being made. He had found employment as a labourer on a building site in Newquay and had began to reconnect with his family following a period of estrangement.

Marcella Davis was a 19 year old mum of a baby daughter, Dione.

Marcella adored Dione and to make a living for her and her daughter, Marcella worked as a sex worker on the dangerous streets of the red light district of Wolverhampton in the West Midlands.

One evening, Marcella dropped Dione with a friend as she headed off to work and promised she would be back at 11pm. But Marcella was never seen again.

24 year old Tracey Cowley lived in Cannock with her husband of two years 29 year old Simon and their 19 month old daughter, Robyn. The young family had lived in the house for two years, and the three of them were often spotted together, enjoying their shared leisure time regularly walking and going on bike rides, enjoying each others company and making the most of the beautiful countryside.

But one evening Tracey went out to see a friend and she never came home.

I tell Tracey's story.

37 year old nurse Lisa Skidmore wasn’t feeling very well so didn't go to work and stayed home.

Lisa’s mum Margaret decided to head to Lisa’s house on her way to the shops to see how she was as they lived very close to each other. She let herself into Lisa house just like she has so many times before on this ordinary day. But there was nothing ordinary about this day.

Not long before, 55 year old Leroy Campbell had climbed into Lisa’s first floor bedroom using a ladder. Unbeknown to Lisa, three days earlier whilst wandering the local area, looking for someone to attack, he had clocked that Lisa lived alone and had identified her as someone he would attack.  And this morning was the day he chose to carry out his attack...

When the knock at the door came shortly after midnight, Carol & Keith Slater initially tried to ignore the noise, assuming it was just kids messing around or maybe someone at the wrong address.

But as the knocking continued, Carol told Keith he should pop down and see who was at the door in case it was related to their two young children who were staying with Grandparents that night. It might be the police, maybe there had been an accident.

Minutes later, Keith was dead - at just 33 years old - and so many lives changed forever.

It was late - almost midnight - by a quarry near the forest.

The police had arrived as a car had been reported for driving in an erratic manner. The woman was clearly very uncomfortable and didn't want the officers to look inside the two suitcases.

The bodycam is startling as an officer opens one of the bags. There is an audible sharp exhale of breath when what he is looking at hits home. The officer says in both horror and astonishment: "What the f***."

Lauren Jeska was a fell runner.

As a transgender athlete, she had been asked to provide evidence of hormone levels after historical complaints to UK Athletics that she had an unfair advantage competing in women’s events because she had been born a man.

The policy of the governing body required the athlete to take a blood test, but she took exception to this and feared being unable to compete.

Lauren saw this as an attack on her life and decided to take drastic action.

John Warrington was interested in making money and had built up a portfolio of several commercial premises and two houses. But when market conditions took a turn for the worse, he was soon in massive debt and his life was spiralling out of control. He needed urgent results before he lost everything.

John's solution was to write a crime thriller - sure, an unusual choice. When the publishers weren't interested and time was running out before he lost everything, he decided to roll the dice one last time by using the storyline of the novel in his real life...

21 year old Libby Squire, who was studying philosophy at Hull University, had been out with her friends that Thursday evening. They had been drinking around one of their mates houses before heading out. But at the end of the night the bouncers had not let her in the nightclub, The Welly, as they thought she was too tipsy. Nothing unusual here, many of us have been there - so her friends put her in a taxi and paid the fare to ensure she got home safely.

But Libby didn't make it home.

This week we discover the horrible truth of just what happened to Libby.

21 year old Libby Squire, who was studying philosophy at Hull University, had been out with her friends that Thursday evening. They had been drinking around one of their mates houses before heading out. But at the end of the night the bouncers had not let her in the nightclub, The Welly, as they thought she was too tipsy. Nothing unusual here, many of us have been there - so her friends put her in a taxi and paid the fare to ensure she got home safely.

But Libby didn't make it home.

Susan and Christopher Whybrow - a wealthy barrister - were the fortunate occupants of a beautiful farmhouse in Leavenheath, Suffolk, set within 12 acre gardens. After almost 10 years of marriage, to many people the couple had it all; the idyllic property and a comfortable lifestyle with no money worries. And yet as we know, in all of our lives things are not often quite as we portray to the outside world.

In our story today: flying lessons, an illicit affair, a trial at the Old Bailey - and a lawn mower.

Todays story is from Liverpool where a shooting outside a nightclub left a number of questions unanswered. Serious players in the underworld were loosely connected and did all they could to make the charges related to the shooting go away. Add to this mix an attempt to bribe a Police Officer and a 90's reality star and that is this weeks story on the UK True Crime Podcast.

It was just one of the thousands of missing persons cases that were reported in the UK that year when 63 year old Don Banfield disappeared from his home in north-west London. He had been having issues in his marriage and had talked about moving back to Trinidad - where he was born and the place he loved. But he had spoken to a number of people about being concerned for his safety: had Don come to harm?

Just what happened to Don Banfield?

But in this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, we hear a story that involved all of these things.

When detectives quizzed local farmer Ross Stone about cannabis being grown on his farm, they could never expected that he would reveal that two missing men -Brett Flournoy (l) & David Griffiths (r)  were also buried there.

But was he responsible for the killings?

At the beginning of this century, when the internet was new for most people - and before the social media giants claimed their turf - chatrooms were very popular, especially with teenagers.

At the police conference, officers appealed for information about the death of 21 year old Richard Holmes. They told how Richard was shot and killed in Greenham Crescent in the Chingford Hall estate as he defended a 16-year-old boy against a group of men.

Euan Johnston went for dinner with a friend in the centre of Glasgow, but whilst he was eating he was unaware he was being watched. And when he left, the Audi pulled out behind his car and followed, waiting for the right time.

The traffic lights offered the opportunity and the gunman jumped out of the car and fired three shots at Euan at point blank range. At just 26, Euan died from his injuries.

But who killed him and left two children without a father? And why?

It was a party. A chemsex party. Many were invited but when one man turned up at the London estate he was turned away at the door. What he could never have realised is that this was because the other guest at the party had just been murdered....

It was 11.57pm  when the emergency services were called to a house fire in Woking, Surrey. The call was made by a panicking and distressed Alan Jermey. On the call to the fire service, Alan confirmed he was on the roof of the house with his two young daughters, “I'm upstairs, the fire is downstairs. There is just smoke coming up.” It was two minutes into the call that he told the operator: “The thing is, I don't know where my partner is.... I went to bed early……”.

As we hear so often on this podcast, everything was not as it seemed.

Jed Allen grew up in Didcot. But normality was something Jed was not accustomed to in his family upbringing as his mum suffered from alcohol and heroin addiction and all the issues that brings to family life.

By 21 Jed was clearly suffering frustration at the way his life was working out and he became obsessed with Wolverine -  the fantasy creature who is a social outcast and loner facing an inner battle to retain his humanity with his desire for bloodshed.

And then one day, Jed committed a terrible act of shocking violence....

One evening, 49 year old Antonio ‘Tony’ Marrocco didn't return home after a day working at his garage - which was most out of character. His wife called the police and when they arrived at his garage they found his body: he had been brutally murdered.

A double killer was on the loose....

This week, I sat down with Grace, host of the excellent REDRUM podcast, as we looked at the dreadful murder of Sasha Marsden, who was just 16 when she was stabbed to death by David Minto, the caretaker of a hotel in Blackpool.

Sasha thought she had secured a cleaning job but Minto attacked Sasha and stabbed her more than 100 times before sexually assaulting her and dumping and setting fire to Sasha's body outside.

When Rebecca Aylward went to secondary school near her home in Maesteg, South Wales, she met Joshua Davies and the pair quickly hit it off and became firm friends.

Rebecca and Joshua were both academic, worked hard and were soon top of the class in their results. Soon the pair began to date, but then there were concerns about Joshua's behaviour. Concerns that continued to grow, but nobody could have predicted that Joshua was capable of extreme violence. And murder.

In Maybole, Ayrshire, Ahmjid Ismail and his family ran a grocer’s shop, known locally as Johnny’s.

Newly released from prison and a newcomer to the village, John McGeechan thought that robbing this store would be an easy way to give him the money to buy his next heroin fix. But the robbery went very wrong with 34 year old Ahmjid losing his life after being stabbed repeatedly.

And then it was discovered that McGeechan had killed before....

Everyone like John Hirst. So much so he was even known at his home in Majorca as 'Nice John'. He was found in all the right clubs and at all the events where the wealthy ex-pats gathered on the Island.

Perma-tanned John lived in an expensive villa with his wife Linda and they enjoyed a fantastic lifestyle  with all the trappings of success with many exotic holidays, designer clothes and jewellery, a luxury motor boat and two top of the range cars – an open topped sports car for Linda and a top of the range Mercedes for John.

But this apparent success was all based on lies and deception, and as the financial markets declined, John fled back to the UK knowing that everything was about to come crashing down, ruining the lives of many of his friends who had trusted him with their money.

Kenny Carter was a world-class speedway rider known to his fans as 'King Kenny'. He was box office for the sport - outspoken, cocky and talented. Loved by his supporters, this view wasn't shared by many of his peers in the sport who tended to feel the same as this rider when talking about Kenny: “I admired him 100% as a rider, but as a person, I had no time for him at all’.

But then one day Kenny made the headline news for reasons other than his riding - murder....

Paul and Paula Ramsden drove the hour or so south to Beachy Head for a picnic, which they enjoyed just feet from the cliff edge. Just before 5pm, they decided to head back to the car. Paul later told how they had been kissing and cuddling but as he walked away to the car he noticed that Paula wasn’t with him.

To his horror, he saw that his wife had fallen over the edge of the cliff to her certain death...

Firefighters were called to a house fire in a small village, just north of Nottingham. They quickly extinguished the blaze but inside the house, tragically they found the body of mum of two, Jacqueline Bartlam. But Jacqueline had not succumbed to the flames or smoke inhalation, she had been brutally beaten and murdered before the house was set on fire.

If that wasn’t shocking enough, detectives soon realised that the person who had killed Jacqueline was her own 14 year old son, Daniel...

Detectives believed they had identified the murderer and when they entered the bedroom of 18 year old Danyal Hussein in south-east London, they found a handwritten note,  signed in his own blood, about how he had made a pact with a demon called 'Lucifuge Rofocale'. According to black magic, this demon is in charge of Hell's Government and Treasury by order of Lucifer. 

The pact he had signed was to murder six women every six months in return for financial reward, including winning the lottery...

Scott Tarrant had told his partner Rebecca that after the England match he would go around her house for the night. But by 8.41 when he still hadn't appeared, she texted 'I Hate You' and made other plans for the evening, inviting around her ex-boyfriend.

Four teenage boys were found murdered in similar circumstances, but the police believed it was solvent abuse that caused their deaths and were unaware that there was a serial killer on the loose.

For 18 year old Katie Rackliff it was just a normal night out. She had recently split up with her boyfriend and her friends thought it would do her good to get out for the evening.

But there was confusion at the end of the evening after the nightclub and Katie didn't go home with her friends as planned. Instead, she met a brutal and terrifying death.

In this episode of the UK true Crime podcast I look at the terrible murder of Katie Rackliff.

Carol Taggart's 30 year old son Ross reported his mum missing. He explained that they had argued at the house they shared and his mum had stormed out and he was concerned as this was out of character. Despite numerous police appeals there were no positive sightings of Carol.

But then three weeks later Carol's body was found at the holiday park where Carol had a caravan - the body was concealed under a caravan just two spaces away from Carol's.

Just what had happened to Carol Taggart?

When Kenneth Noye faced trial for the murder of 21 year old Stephen Cameron, stabbed to death in front of his 17 year old fiancee Danielle Cable just by the M25 in Swanley, Kent, one of the witnesses was 40 year old Alan Decabral. He had called 999 and tried to follow Noye to record his car registration.

Just months later, in the middle of the afternoon Alan Decabral was shot dead in an apparent professional hit in a retail park in Ashford, Kent. Who killed Alan?  And why?

In the early hours of the morning, in Central Park in Plymouth, the bodies of Terry Sweet and Bernie Hawken were discovered lying just 200 yards apart in the park and it was clear that both had suffered a violent assault.

Sadly, soon after the police arrived, Terry died from his injuries, aged just 64. Miraculously, Bernie survived the horrific attack, but his injuries were so severe that he spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Just who had attacked these two men?  And why?

Last week on the UK true Crime podcast, I covered the murder of Suzanne Blamires who was killed by Stephen Griffiths in Bradford.

Detectives linked this murder to other local missing people, including Susan Rushworth and Shelley Armitage.

In this concluding episode, I look at how Griffiths admitted murdering Susan and Shelley, and examine other unsolved murders where Griffiths may have been responsible.

On the Friday, Suzanne Blamires went missing from her housing association home in the Allerton district of Bradford. Her family were immediately concerned for her welfare, but for the police Suzanne – or Amber as she was known on the streets - was a sex worker with a heroin habit and in a life that was often chaotic, they had little to go on.

And by Monday Suzanne still hadn’t been found. But that morning, as the caretaker of a block of flats in Bradford watched his CCTV of the weekends activity, he saw to his horror Suzanne being brutally attacked....

This week, the Uk true crime podcast comes from the north-east of England, just by Durham.

The A1 (M) is a busy motorway, and at 6.17pm on a summers day there were a few issues northbound due to an earlier fuel spillage.

As the traffic slowed, none of the people in their cars patiently heading towards their destinations could have imagined that a 3.5 tonne lorry would not stop, and plough into the traffic, with terrible consequences.

The local pub near Cambridge were hosting a Halloween party. Chris and Rebecca West weren't planning to go, they fancied a quiet night in watching TV with a takeaway. A number of their friends were there and having a great time so they decided to go and it was a fantastic night.

But everything changed after a game of pool, when it turned out that one man in that pub was carrying a knife, and shockingly, he was happy to use it.....

The international crime gang had planned everything, covered every detail.

And as 33 year old Andrew Cole stood on the deck, he realised that his whole life depended on what happened in the next few hours. Andrew was listed as crew on the manifest, but his role was a very clear one – it was up to him to ensure the safe receipt, passage and transfer of the cocaine to a crew who were going to come out from the UK to take delivery of it near the English Channel.

But as the Kahu reached the end of its journey from Barbados as it cruised past Guernsey, Andrew thought he heard a noise – or was it just his imagination playing tricks on him? He then clearly saw two vessels approach and to his horror he realised that is was the 42 metre Border Force cutter ‘Searcher’ along with the 19 metre coastal patrol vessel ‘Alert’. The gang had been rumbled....

20 year old Anna Kenny was walking to George Square in the centre of Glasgow to get a bus home when she was taken from the street and never seen alive again. Nobody has ever been convicted of her murder.

In 2021, along with co-author Chris Clark, I released a book, 'Gone Fishing' about serial killer Angus Sinclair where we suggested that Sinclair was responsible for the murder of Anna Kenny. Can it just be coincidence that Anna's friend who was with her on the night she went missing married Sinclair's brother-in-law Gordon Hamilton? And why did Sinclair and Hamilton argue so badly on the night ahead of the wedding that the two never spoke again - was this about Anna's murder?

My book, 'Gone Fishing' hasn't been available for a while but now it is back available to buy on Amazon, on kindle & paperback, and you can hear more about the terrible solved - and unsolved - crimes of Angus Sinclair.

This week on the UK True Crime Podcast, a Serial Killer.

When Police Constable David Haigh was asked to deliver a summons to a poacher, it was quite a routine procedure for a police officers covering such a rural area. However, when the officer failed to return and couldn’t be contacted, his colleague PC Mick Clipston was sent out to find the missing officer. As he approached the tree lined, picnic area known as Norwood Edge he came upon a police car in a clearing at the side of the road with the doors open.

As he got closer and parked he could see somebody was laid next to the car. To his shock and great distress, it was the dead body of his colleague, with a single bullet wound in the middle of his forehead.

And more murders would follow.....

Carradale is a village on the east coast of Kintyre, off the west coast of Scotland and looking over the west coast of the Isle of Aaron in the Firth of Clyde. The harbour at Carradale is sheltered and looks out at the deep waters of Kibrannan Sound and then the towering mountains of Aaron.

It is a beautiful, peaceful spot and if you look carefully, you will see a small memorial plaque on the harbour wall, commemorating the crew of the FV Antares, who lost their lives at sea. In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at just what happened to the FV Antares off the coast of Scotland.

With only 10 minutes to go there were a few customers still milling around, and Clare and her colleagues were looking forward to the end of another day. Nobody paid much attention to the man who approached Clare from behind and when a colleague realised what was happening, it was too late....

David Smith was married to Maureen Hindley, sister of Myra. On one night when Myra asked him to walk her home, he could never have imagined the scene of utter horror he would see at a normal house on the outskirts on Manchester.

David Smith later described Saddleworth Moor – the scene of such horror – as: ‘Hell’s garden, an abyss where devils play and souls can never rest. I hate the place with a passion’.

Her sister picked her up just after 6pm and as she left her mum’s flat Sally-Anne waved goodbye and thanked her for letting her stay, saying a final ‘love you Mum’.

This week, the UK True Crime podcast is from Cambuslang, about 6 miles southeast of the centre of Glasgow, as I look at a terrifying double murder.

The body of 36 year-old taxi driver Cathy McChord was found with her body crammed into the boot of the car, with the meter still running. Cathy’s cigarette lighter, inhaler and car keys placed in a straight-line. Suggesting a ritualistic element to the crime.

Two months after Cathy’s murder another body was found when 48 year-old Elizabeth Walton was found in the grounds of her daughter’s school. After declining a lift home, Elizabeth was attacked and then strangled as she walked back home from an evening out. When police found Elizabeth’s body they found ritualistic and symbolic acts had taken place, similar to those of Cathy.

The police knew they were searching for a double killer.....
