The Murder of David Heal | Villain: Matthew Roberts British Murders with Stuart Blues

In this first episode of season 10, I delve into the chilling story of David Heal, a seemingly ordinary man whose life took a tragic turn. Join me as I explore the background and untold details surrounding David's life, from his humble beginnings in Radstock, Somerset, to his time in the British Army and his subsequent career as an electrician.

On January 4, 2004, David's peaceful existence in the village of Paulton, near Bath, was brutally shattered. An unthinkable act of violence unfolded inside his home, leaving him lifeless and concealed in a freezer, where his body remained undiscovered for nine days.

The perpetrator? Matthew Roberts, the son of David's former girlfriend, Lorraine Harvey.

In June 2005, Judge Tom Crowther gave Matthew a 12-year and 7-month prison sentence at Bristol Crown Court for the murder after accepting he had no intention of killing David.
