    The Defiler - Part 3: A Monster On Trial

    Concluding Series 11's opening tale, and in November 2021, David Fuller stood in the dock of Maidstone Crown Court to face trial for the murders of Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce back in 1987, the Tunbridge Wells 'Bedsit' murders, as well as charges relating to the harrowing, disturbing offences that he had catalogued himself committing against the bodies of women and children in the mortuaries of two hospitals he had worked at - at least over a 15 year period. How would Fuller plead? And what would develop, questions and actions, from the emergence of one of, perhaps THE most depraved and prolific offenders in British criminal history? The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of a sexual nature, and with references to practices that some listeners may find extremely disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

    Three Men Murdered in Exeter: The Alexander Lewis-Ranwell Case | Ep. 281

    In February 2019, three men were murdered in their homes in Exeter, Devon, in a series of attacks that appeared to have no obvious motive. Eighty-year-old Anthony Payne and 84-year-old twin brothers Dick and Roger Carter had lived ordinary lives, with no known connection to one another. So why had these three men been targeted, and what linked their deaths? As detectives investigated the Exeter murders, they uncovered a disturbing chain of events involving 27-year-old Alexander Lewis-Ranwell, whose mental health had deteriorated significantly in the days leading up to the killings. He'd already been arrested twice within a short period, and concerns had been raised about his increasingly erratic and violent behaviour. His release from police custody would later become the subject of serious scrutiny, raising difficult questions about mental health services, police procedures and whether these devastating events could have been prevented. In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, I examine the murders of Anthony Payne, Dick Carter and Roger Carter, the psychiatric history of Alexander Lewis-Ranwell, and the events that led to three innocent men losing their lives. We look at the investigation, the legal battle over Lewis-Ranwell's criminal responsibility, and the ongoing inquest examining the decisions made in the crucial hours before the killings. It's a deeply troubling case that raises important questions about mental illness, public safety and the opportunities that may have existed to prevent this tragedy.

    20 Years Later: The Murder of Tilly Campbell | From the Archives

    In October 2006, 77-year-old widow Tilly Campbell was found dead in her home in Donaghadee, County Down, Northern Ireland. The fire brigade had been called to her property, but it soon became clear that Tilly’s death was not the result of a fire. She had been murdered, and what initially appeared to be a tragic accident would soon become a murder investigation, with her next-door neighbour emerging as the prime suspect. In this anniversary episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, I revisit the life and murder of Tilly Campbell, looking at the circumstances surrounding her death and the investigation that followed. To mark the 20th anniversary of Tilly’s murder, I’m bringing back my original episode, first released in July 2024. Whether you’re hearing Tilly’s story for the first time or returning to it, join me as we remember her life and revisit a case that deserves to be remembered.

    Interview with Tom Wood: 40 Years as a Senior Detective and Author

    In this episode, I’m joined by one of my real true crime heroes in Tom Wood, a retired senior police officer who spent almost 40 years in policing, working on some of Scotland’s most significant murder investigations. Tom has worked on some of Scotland’s most infamous murders and was Officer in Overall Command of a national investigation into the murders of five young Scottish women in the 1970s, including the deaths of Edinburgh girls Helen Scott and Christine Eadie, the notorious ‘Worlds End Murders’, which he wrote about in his book that was published in 2024. Tom is now a successful true crime author, sharing his experiences and knowledge through his writing. And as you’ll discover, he is a brilliant storyteller, sharing his experience and fascinating insights into the realities of investigating serious crime. We had far too little time to cover everything I wanted to ask him, but I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and could happily have carried on for hours. Buy Tom's new book https://www.tomwoodwriter.co.uk/books. I release episodes of the UK True Crime podcast every Tuesday and Friday, so please join me for the next episode on Tuesday.

    The Defiler - Part 2: A Monster Unmasked

    Continuing the opening story of Series 11, and by 2007, the then 20 year cold cases of Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce, the Tunbridge Wells 'Bedsit' murders, had been definitively linked by DNA as being the work of the same killer. But - he wasn't on the National DNA database. Skip forward 13 years, and by then, with the advancements in Familial DNA, it was to lead investigators to a very strong person of interest, and in December 2020, an early morning knock on the door at a home in a quiet cul de sac in Heathfield, East Sussex - which, when opened, shone a spotlight on one of the most disturbing, prolific offenders the UK has ever seen. Perhaps THE most. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of a sexual nature, and with references to practices that some listeners may find extremely disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.
