    Held Captive By A Stranger : Episode 542

    In Newport, South Wales, Martin Podmore met a woman at a party - nothing unusual there, and the two got on well. But it was the beginning of an encounter that would take a deeply disturbing turn when he later kept her captive against her will. She was trapped in a situation where her freedom was taken away by someone she barely knew. And then came a disturbing discovery: this wasn't the first time Podmore had done something like this...

    Bonus Episode : Interview With Top Crime Reporter Martin Brunt

    In this bonus episode, I chat with top crime reporter, Martin Brunt. Martin spent 36 years at Sky News and built such a reputation for contacts that, during the 2006 Ipswich serial murders, a police press officer reportedly told a rival journalist: 'Call Martin Brunt. He knows everything before we do.' Martin Brunt joined Sky for its launch in 1989, reported from the Gulf and Balkan wars, then became one of Britain's best-known crime reporters, covering cases including Fred and Rose West, Sarah Payne, Jill Dando, Madeleine McCann and the Hatton Garden raid.  His book, 'No One Got Cracked Over the Head for No Reason', opens up his notebook on the victims, detectives, villains, sources, errors and ethical choices behind those headlines, and asks why some crimes seize the public imagination while others barely register. Martin stepped back from full time reporting in 2025, but retirement seems to have evaded him: he remains a Sky crime commentator and, with Helen Fospero, co-hosts the award-winning True Criminals podcast.  I release new episodes of the UK True Crime podcast every Tuesday and Friday - please join me for the next episode on Tuesday.

    Judge, Jury - And Executioner

    The feature-length Series 10 finale of The True Crime Enthusiast brings with it an almost surreal tale of abuse, murder, dismemberment, imprisonment, appeal, acquittal, mental illness, misguided revenge - and something called Project Tango. It was a tale that shook the county of East Sussex when it happened at the turn of this century - one that was to have repercussions several years later. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of sexual abuse and self harm, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

    The Killer Next Door : Episode 541

    When you move into a small flat in a new town, just how much can you really know about your neighbours? Melanie Sturton had only recently left home to work and study when she moved into a flat in Aberdeen. She could have had no idea that someone living nearby would ultimately play a part in a terrible crime. Melanie was murdered, and in this episode I look at the shocking circumstances of the killing, the investigation and the trial. I release new episodes of the UK True Crime podcast every Tuesday and Friday - this weekend, as a bonus episode I interview top crime reporter and podcaster Martin Brunt, so please join me for this on Sunday and for the next episode on Tuesday.

    Mary Bell: The 11-Year-Old Killer of Martin Brown and Brian Howe | Ep. 273

    In the summer of 1968, two little boys died within weeks of each other in the Scotswood area of Newcastle upon Tyne. Four-year-old Martin Brown was found dead inside a derelict house, while three-year-old Brian Howe disappeared from the streets where he lived before his body was discovered on a patch of wasteland known locally as the "Tin Lizzie". At first, the two deaths appeared to be separate tragedies, but as detectives began digging into Brian's murder, they uncovered a series of disturbing clues that would force them to look back at Martin's unexplained death. The investigation quickly became one of the most extraordinary murder inquiries in British criminal history. Police questioned more than a thousand local children, strange handwritten messages appeared to reveal knowledge of Martin's death, and detectives found themselves trying to work out whether the person responsible for Brian's murder could actually be another child. At the centre of the investigation were two young girls, Mary Bell and Norma Bell, whose friendship and behaviour had already attracted attention in the neighbourhood. As the evidence mounted, detectives were faced with a question that seemed almost impossible to answer. Could an eleven-year-old girl really be responsible for the deaths of two much younger children? In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, I examine the deaths of Martin Brown and Brian Howe, the investigation that unfolded across Scotswood in 1968, and the extraordinary evidence that eventually brought two children before the courts. We look at Mary Bell's troubled childhood, her friendship with Norma, the disturbing events that preceded the murders, the clues that turned police suspicion towards the girls, and the trial that captivated Britain. It's a deeply unsettling story about childhood, violence, abuse and the difficult question of whether someone so young can truly understand the consequences of their actions.

    I Wish I Had Stayed In Bed |The Hungerford Tragedy : Episode 340

    Minutes before taking his own life, Michael Ryan looked back on the devastation he had caused in Hungerford. He had killed 16 people and injured 15 others. Then he told the police negotiator: “I wish I had stayed in bed.” In this episode, I look back at what happened that day, the people whose lives were changed forever, and the events that unfolded as a quiet town found itself at the centre of a tragedy that shocked the country. I also look at some of the lesser-known details of the case and the questions that remained long after the shooting had ended.

    The Llandrindod Wells Murders of Fiona Ovis and William Crompton | Ep. 272

    In the early hours of May 2, 1996, police were called to a bungalow in Llandrindod Wells, Mid Wales, where they discovered the bodies of 28-year-old Fiona Ovis and 18-year-old William Crompton. Both had been brutally stabbed in what detectives described as a frenzied knife attack, leaving behind a shocking crime scene that would quickly become the focus of a murder investigation. As detectives began piecing together the events of that night, their attention turned to Fiona's complicated personal life and a relationship that appeared to have ended just days before the killings. Within hours, a 26-year-old man had been arrested, but as investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a disturbing story involving jealousy, obsession, mental health and a relationship that had ended in heartbreak. In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we examine the murders of Fiona Ovis and William Crompton, the investigation into the Llandrindod Wells double murder, and the case against Andrew Cole. We explore Fiona and William's lives, their relationship, the events leading up to the murders, Cole's arrest and first trial, the controversial retrial that followed, and the psychiatric evidence that played a crucial role in the case. We also look at Cole's eventual release from prison and the events that followed, while remembering Fiona and William and the devastating impact their murders had on the people who knew and loved them.
