    UNSOLVED: Who Killed Paul Logan? The Consett Murder Mystery (1993)

    In December 1993, 25-year-old father of two Paul Logan was lured from his home in Consett, County Durham, by a mysterious late-night phone call. Hours later, his body was found in a frozen field on the outskirts of town - brutally beaten in what detectives described as a targeted and pre-planned attack. Despite hundreds of witnesses interviewed, countless leads, and several arrests, no one has ever been charged with Paul’s murder. Rumours of underworld links, false accusations, and community silence have clouded the case for over thirty years, leaving Paul’s family still searching for the truth. In this episode of British Murders, I revisit one of the North East’s most haunting unsolved cases - a crime that shocked a tight-knit community and continues to baffle detectives decades later. If you have any information about the murder of Paul Logan, please contact Northumbria Police on 101, or reach out anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

    S19E10 | Claire Hood (St Mellons, Cardiff, 1995)

    In January 1995, the Cardiff suburb of St Mellons was shaken by the disappearance and murder of 15-year-old schoolgirl Claire Hood, a bright, popular teenager whose warmth touched everyone around her. As detectives searched for answers, the inquiry became one of the largest DNA investigations the UK had ever seen. What began as a desperate hunt for a killer would uncover a devastating betrayal of trust that struck painfully close to home. When the truth finally surfaced, it revealed not only one man’s deception, but also the heartbreaking reality of a justice system still grappling with how to balance punishment and loss, and a family left to bear the weight of a life stolen too soon.

    S19E09 | Lawrence Haggart (Larbert, Stirlingshire, 1996)

    In March 1996, the town of Denny in Stirlingshire was left reeling by the shocking death of 15-year-old Lawrence Haggart, a promising young footballer with dreams of pulling on the green and white hoops of Celtic. He was a devoted son and brother, a teenager whose future seemed bright, and his talent was clear to everyone who knew him. When a night out with friends ended in tragedy at his own home, the investigation that followed would raise more questions than answers. Confusion, suspicion, and bitter accusations tore through the family, while the community searched for justice. As the inquiry unfolded, disturbing histories and mishandled leads threatened to overshadow the truth. What emerged was not only the story of one boy’s life cut short, but also a reflection of the failures and dark undercurrents that surrounded his case.

    Interview #72 | Anton Sullivan Discusses the Christophe Borgye Murder Case

    In this interview episode, I’m joined by Anton Sullivan, a retired police inspector with over 32 years of operational experience. We briefly discuss Anton's career before moving on to the murder of French national Christophe Borgye in 2009 and the challenges investigators, including Anton, faced during the case. Due to his fluency in French, Anton was able to act as the family liaison officer and help with translations, and the case went on to become a huge part of his career. Anton shares the emotional reality of contacting the victim’s family, the turning point marked by the discovery of human remains, and how police worked to confirm Christophe’s identity. We also explore the wider societal and procedural differences between investigations in France and the UK. The story has recently been covered in a two-part documentary called 'Murder in Concrete' which is available to watch now on Prime Video: Watch MURDER IN CONCRETE | Prime Video ***This interview was recorded on September 16, 2025.

    S19E08 | Dr Barry Hounsome (Gosport, Hampshire, 2018)

    In October 2018, the Hampshire town of Gosport was left reeling after the sudden and violent death of respected academic Dr Barry Hounsome. Barry was a devoted husband, a supportive son, and a stepfather who took on the role of “Dad” with love and pride. Away from his home life, his career was dedicated to improving the lives of others through groundbreaking research into dementia and Parkinson’s disease. When Barry’s life was cut short inside his own home, the case that followed revealed unsettling questions about family, responsibility, and the fine line between illness and intent.

    S19E07 | Lara Perrill (Gillingham, Kent, 1991)

    In November 1991, the Kent town of Gillingham was shaken by the senseless murder of 18-year-old Lara Perrill. Lara was a much-loved daughter, sister, niece, and grandchild. She was just beginning her adult life, spending time with friends and making plans for the future. Her warmth and youth made what happened to her all the more devastating. When Lara failed to make it home after a night out, the search to find her ended in tragedy. As detectives pieced together the events of that night, they soon found themselves dealing with a man whose history of violence and suppressed rage had gone unchecked for years. The question became not just how he could have committed such an act, but whether anything might have stopped him sooner.

    S19E06 | Judith Richardson (Hexham, Northumberland, 2011)

    In the summer of 2011, the market town of Hexham in Northumberland was left reeling after the sudden and violent death of one of its best-loved residents. 77-year-old Judith Richardson was a familiar face in the community known for her gentle nature, her loyalty to friends and family, and her daily walks with her little Westie, Hamish. Her life of kindness and quiet service made what happened to her all the more shocking. As police worked to piece together how such a brutal crime could unfold in a quiet street, they uncovered a trail of evidence that pointed to a man with a violent past and a history of preying on the vulnerable. The question was whether they could prove it.
