Case 345: The Barking Murders

*** Content warnings: Sexual assault, drug use, suicide, homophobia *** Over a 16-month period between 2014 and 2015, four young men—Anthony Walgate, Gabriel Kovari, Daniel Whitworth and Jack Taylor—each died under unusual circumstances in the East London suburb of Barking. While the police initially palmed the deaths off as isolated incidents, the families of the four men believed something suspicious was at play. All of the men had been found near or in a churchyard, all had died from dangerously high levels of GHB, and none had a reason to be in the area. When CCTV footage forced detectives to revisit the evidence, what they uncovered was shocking. --- Narration – Anonymous Host Research & writing – Elsha McGill Production & music – Mike Migas Audio editing – Anthony Telfer Sign up for Casefile Premium: Apple PremiumSpotify PremiumPatreonFor all credits and sources, please visit https://casefilepodcast.com/case-345-the-barking-murders Hosted on Acast.

Best True Crime podcast out

Well researched and interesting cases that the other podcasts don’t touch on. If you want a podcast where the narrator isn’t offering their own opinions and reacting, this is great.

I love Casefile. It was the first podcast I ever listened to. I have listened to all episodes, it’s my favorite. The accent is not a problem at all, and I’m Brazilian. Congrats to all the team.
O sotaque é pesadissimo

Eu não sei pq comecei a escutar esse pod, mas eu comecei e gostei. Super recomendo, eles são bem eloquentes e profissionais, o sotaque australiano dele é bem forte e por causa disso eu tenho q prestar mta atenção enquato estou ouvindo pra não perder nenhuma informação. Eles usam todos os detalhes, disponiveis, dos casos e não dão opiniões sobre os acontecimentos, só fatos e testemunhos. É muito bem feito.
