    Born in Prison, Son of a Bad Man

    In today's episode I interview Lee Marvin Hitchman, who was born in a prison and taken into care as a baby. He explains the terrible reputation of his birth father Eric Rogers - which includes supposedly taking part in the killing of PC Keith Blakelock in the Broadwater Farm riots in 1985 - and recounts how his dad had bragged about forcing women into taking drugs and going on the game. We go into a bit of detail about how Eric was killed in his flat in 2024 but ended on a brighter note, talking about how Marvin turned his own life around.

    Who Killed Jacqueline?

    In January 2002 Jacqueline Nyeko, 24, went missing, leaving behind a young daughter, Lexi. Three days later her body was found - with horrific injuries - in a bin store on an estate in Kennington, south London. All these years later the case is still unsolved. I recently interviewed Jacqueline's uncle, Samuel Olara, about her and why he believes her murder can still be solved. This is his first interview with any media.

    The Shooting of Lola Doll

    Lola Doll is a sexy and popular singer and influencer in Guyana, so why was she shot in September 2025? Today's episode is all about drugs, corruption and politics in Guyana, a former British colony on the Caribbean coast of South America. Spoiler alert - Lola Doll survived the shooting and at the end of the episode she points the finger at the man she believes was behind it.

    The Balcombe Street Siege

    Fifty years ago a couple in their 50s were sitting in their council flat, not far from London's West End, watching an episode of Kojak when four armed IRA desperadoes burst in. It would turn into a six-day siege - which was broadcast on the nation's television screens - one of the most dramatic events of The Troubles. In this episode I explain who the Balcombe Street gang was and what role some peaches and cream played in the ending of the siege. The episode also features expert analysis by Oisin Feeney, host of The Troubles podcast.

    The Fake Grieving Widow

    When Thomas Campbell was tortured and stabbed to death at his home in Manchester in July 2022 his ex-wife, and mother of his children, Coleen, posted on Facebook that he had been: "The best dad anyone could wish for." But her grief was fake and in this episode I will explain how Coleen had secretly helped Thomas's killers, one of whom later fled to South America, and how the police caught her and the gang.

    The King of Betrayal

    This is the first episode of my podcast Totalcrime. In May 2006 Nisha Patel-Nasri, a hairdresser and part-time special constable in the Metropolitan Police, was stabbed to death outside her home in London. It initially appeared as if she had been killed while disturbing a burglar or car thief. But the real motive for her killing would only emerge later and it would involve a cheating husband and a cast of sinister characters from London's underworld. I covered the trial and in this episode I tell the full story, complete with readings from my own notebooks.
