In this series we tell the shocking stories of women whose possible homicides go unrecognised, and uncounted, by police. In the UK, we’re told that two women a week are killed by a current or former partner – but these are just the killings we know about. The true toll could be much, much higher. In Hidden Homicides, investigative reporter Louise Tickle uncovers harrowing cases of killers missed, of grieving families ignored by police, of a body left to decay in a hospital morgue, and of systemic police failings. It is produced by Tortoise Studios. To learn more, go to tortoisemedia.com/hiddenhomicides.

Customer Reviews
A must listen for everyone
In depth and beautifully put together. A must listen for everyone but especially women.
Excellent
Highly recommend. The depth and breadth of intimate partner violence is seriously underestimated by society and this series highlights this.
My only feedback would be to at least give a mention to different kinds of couples, eg trans women are particularly vulnerable to abuse.
Compelling investigative journalism at its best
Listening to this podcast in the week that a woman in the UK lost her life (abduction and murder) has been an especially tough context. It has not been an easy listen.
However, the team that put this podcast together are extremely talented and it means listeners will never forget these women, their families, and their fight for justice. Domestic abuse is an insidious and pernicious part of our society and professional and personal attitudes need to change. Thank you so much for raising awareness of this issue in the context of hidden homicides.
