    The Monster Butler

    Archibald Hall appeared to be the perfect gentleman: polished, discreet and trusted inside the homes of Britain's wealthy elite. Behind the identity of Roy Fontaine, however, was a career thief whose fear of exposure led to five murders across England and Scotland. In this episode of Compact Murder, we follow Hall's transformation from accomplished conman to the notorious "Monster Butler", examining the deaths of David Wright, Walter and Dorothy Scott-Elliot, Mary Coggle and Hall's own half-brother Donald. We also trace the chance discovery of a body in a car boot, the investigation that uncovered the other victims and the trials that ensured Hall would never be released.

    The Murder of Robert Pakington

    On a foggy November morning in 1536, wealthy London merchant and Member of Parliament Robert Pakington left his home in Cheapside to attend Mass. Moments later, a gunshot rang out, and Pakington fell mortally wounded. Nobody clearly saw the attacker, the weapon disappeared, and no one was ever convicted. Frequently described as the earliest recorded handgun murder in London, the case became entangled with the dangerous politics of the English Reformation. Was Pakington killed for criticising the clergy, targeted by a commercial rival, or murdered by an assassin whose identity was later concealed by propaganda and rumour? This episode of Compact Murder examines the life of Robert Pakington, the extraordinary circumstances of his death and the conflicting stories that have surrounded the case for nearly five centuries.
