S4 Ep16: S04E16: The Stockwell Strangler Sep 23, 2019

Show notes

Kenneth Erskine had a troubled childhood: abandoned by his parents, he was institutionalised when he was very young. When he grew up he became homeless and addicted to drugs. A spate of burglaries turned into a spree of killings. It is believed Erskine murdered between 7 - 11 elderly victims in their homes in the late 1980s. Once caught, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. But should he ever be released?

S4 Ep14: S04E14: Lord Lucan Sep 09, 2019

Show notes

At 9.45pm on the night of 7th November 1974, a distressed woman burst into The Plumber’s Arms. She shouted: "Help me, help me, help me. I’ve just escaped from being murdered. He’s in the house. He’s murdered the Nanny!" The woman was the Countess of Lucan, and she had fled from her home at number 46, leaving behind her three children. She claimed to be the victim of a serious assault, so the police and an ambulance were called to the scene. The police officers who arrived to investigate found a door open, but no sign of Lord Lucan. What do we know about this mysterious case that has fascinated the world?
