Indirect Causation: Acid Attack Jan 18, 2021

Show notes

At around 3am on September 23rd 2015, residents of Westbury Park, Bristol, were awoken by the sound of agonizing pleas for help coming from the street. A man, dressed in just his boxer shorts was running blindly down the road, screaming in pain. As members of the public tried to assist him, they thought that he had mud on his face, but when they asked him what happened he told them that someone had thrown acid onto him. When he was asked who did it, he was audibly terrified and answered “my ex”.

Murder For No Reason: Gavin O'Connor Nov 30, 2020

Show notes

On June 4th 2011, the Gardai responded to reports of a young man found seriously injured on the side of the road near Carrickmacross. 22 year old Gavin O'Connor was unrecognisable due to his injuries, but he was found by people who recognised his outfit from being out with him the night before. What was originally thought to be a hit and run, was soon discovered to be a cold and calculated murder, for no reason. We spoke with Gavin's parents Helena and Gerry about Gavin, their life since his death, and how they have been let down by the system that was built to keep us safe.

Introducing: The Shattered Window Nov 24, 2020

Show notes

Over three decades ago, a 7-year-old girl vanished from her bedroom in the middle of the night while everybody else in the suburb slept soundly. It's frightening for a parent to think that someone could sneak into their child's bedroom completely undetected. It's terrifying for a parent to think that they could be suspected. This investigative true crime series dissects a case that has polarized and puzzled the minds of those who know it. Compiled using thousands of pages of files and trial transcripts as well as interviews with those involved and source audio, this is The Shattered Window. Available now wherever you listen to podcasts.

Castles: The Murder of Diren Dede Nov 09, 2020

Show notes

On the night of April 26th 2014, Marcus Kaarma and his wife Janelle Pflager were watching a movie together at home. The couple had been under stress in recent weeks after a number of attempted break-ins. They had taken precautionary measures to try and stop the burglaries. While sitting together their phone lit up, the motion detectors in the front garden picked up someone on their property. They anxiously watched the monitor as the person walked into their open garage. Markus picked up his shot gun and headed out the front door while his wife said “Showtime”.
