George claims she acted in self-defence after allegedly being subjected to a violent assault, while prosecutors allege she fatally stabbed Treeby during an incident at his apartment.  The case has attracted international attention, not only because of the serious allegations, but also because of the potential consequences if she is convicted under UAE law. In this episode, David Wilson and Martin Frisell examine the timeline of events, the competing accounts of what happened, the legal arguments surrounding self-defence, and what the ongoing investigation could mean for the outcome of one of the year's most closely watched criminal cases.

Click here to join: https://www.patreon.com/cw/ThisMuchisTrueCrime?l=en-GB Join our Murder Club: https://www.patreon.com/cw/ThisMuchisTrueCrime?l=en-GB On 18th June, Jamie Varley was found guilty of the murder of Preston Davey and sentenced to life imprisonment. His partner, John McGowan Fazakerley, was sentenced to 25 years after being convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child. The verdicts brought to a close one of the most disturbing child abuse cases in recent years. Preston Davey was a vulnerable young boy who should have been protected by the adults responsible for his care. Instead, prosecutors argued that he was subjected to horrific abuse that ultimately cost him his life. As details of the investigation emerged, the case sparked widespread outrage and raised serious questions about how such a tragedy could have happened. In this episode, David Wilson and Martin Frisell examine the case, the investigation, the trial and the devastating circumstances that led to Preston's death.

Annabel Rook had been domestically abused by Clifton George, her partner of 10 years, and when finally telling him she was ending the relationship he attempted to strangle her before stabbing her to death 31 times. And the awful irony is that Annabel ran a charity helping vulnerable women and her father was a former murder trial judge - but that didn’t prevent her from escaping and falling fatal victim like so many at the hands of abusive men.

    Pure Evil: Killer of Henry Nowak and his Shameful Family

    Hit subscribe so you don't miss any updates. Check out our Patreon for bonus weekly episodes and access to live recordings, plus monthly newsletters! ⁠⁠Click here to join. The heartbreaking police bodycam footage of teenager Henry Nowak — arrested, handcuffed, and slowly dying from stab wounds — has shocked Britain. Henry was just 18 years old when he was murdered in Southampton in December last year. The case has raised serious questions about policing, justice, and the actions of those around killer Vicrum Digwa, who was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 21 years. At the centre of this story are two families: the Nowaks, who spoke with dignity and grief after sentencing, and the Digwa family, whose actions after the stabbing became a major part of the case. Digwa’s mother now awaits sentencing after hiding the murder weapon, while questions remain over what was said and done by others close to the killer. This was a fast-developing story, and we have re-recorded parts of the episode to bring you the latest developments and our thoughts. Was this simply a case of poor policing? Did assumptions made at the scene cost Henry vital time? And what happens next in a case that has already sparked fierce debate about justice, race, and accountability? But above all, this is the story of Henry Nowak — an 18-year-old whose life was stolen, and whose family are left grieving a son who was far too young to be forgotten.

    Special Episode: Should Teen Rapists Be Locked Up?

    There's an outcry over a judge's decision to allow a gang of teenage rapists, aged 14 and 15, to walk free after they were convicted of 11 rapes on two girls in Fordingbridge in Hampshire. The Attorney General is now considering whether the sentencing was unduly lenient by the trial judge who said he had the welfare of the rapists uppermost in his mind as they were considered children. The court heard they used a knife, laughed and filmed their crimes and shared the video on social media. In this special episode we examine claims the rapists were suffering from ADHD and other cognitive disorders, why that matters and why a custodial sentence was not considered suitable for a crime that robbed two young girls of their innocence.
