    Strange Stories UK: Soho murder and prison. The life of George Pickering

    Send us a text I am still out of the country so am posting some shorter podcasts to keep the podcast ticking over. This one concerns a case from 1963 going on to 1967. The podcast is recorded in a studio that is soundproofed but visited by various cats and dogs and sometimes other creatures. This podcast is set in Soho, Central London an area where I used to work and knew quite well back in the late 1980s.

    Strange Stories UK: Egon Von Bulow. South London cop killer.

    Send us a text This case is in living memory. Going back to 1974. Egon Von Bulow's parents came from South America, had him while in the UK, then left him when they went back home. Not an ideal start for him. He grew up  anti authoritarian. He shot three policemen and committed other crimes after seemingly losing control during July 1974. He could be living near you today.

    Strange Stories UK: Where British soldiers sacrificed to appease public opinion? Suez.

    Send us a text This case happened in Egypt in 1950, so just about in Living memory. It was a difficult time for British-Egyptian relations. When three soldiers were involved in a murder and tried by a British Court Martial, all politicians tried not to get involved as it was easier for all involved to bury an awkward problem.
