    #173 - A Buddy, A Dummy, A Deadman (Southwark, London, British) Jun 02, 2022
    Show notes

    On the night of Thursday 7th December 1950, 42-year old William Donoghue stabbed 74-year-old Thomas Meaney to death. The two men had met that night (as friends of a friend), they got on well, they had been drinking and then they fell asleep. The attack was unprovoked and frenzied. And yet, this would be an incident so bizarre, even William would struggle to believe that he had murdered Thomas Meaney… but he had.

    • Date: Thursday 7th December 1928 at roughly midnight
    • Location: Flat 21, Block F, Peabody Buildings, Roupell Street, London, UK, SE1
    • Victims: 1 (Thomas Meaney)
    • Culprits: 1 (William Donoghue)

    Show notes

    Back in the 1920’s, London Zoo had two elephant experts; Sayed Ali and San Dwe. They lived on site, they loved their elephants, and - according to the zoo’s owners - everything was going swimmingly. That was until the night of Friday 24th August 1928, when Sayed was found beaten to death in his bed. But who would want to murder this little man, and what did it have to do with the most sacred of elephants?

    #171 - The Girl with a Smile for Everyone - Part Two (Regents Park, London, Britain) May 19, 2022
    Show notes

    On Wednesday 1st October 1947, at 10:30pm, the body of Renee was found in Regent’s Park, three miles east. She had been gagged, strangled and beaten. What she was doing there? Nobody knows.


    But it was entirely out of character for a girl who rarely stayed out late and never walked in dark parks with strangers. And yet, she was found right there, and the last five hours of her life are unknown.


    So, what happened to Renee? What was she doing in Regent’s Park after dark? Who did she meet and why? And what does this street and the location of her uncles’ off-license on St Ervan’s Road have to do with her death?

    • Date: Wednesday 1st October 1947
    • Location: Cumberland Green, Regent's Park, London, UK, NW1
    • Victims: 1 (Gladys "Renee" Margaret Irene Hanrahan)
    • Culprits: 1 (Albert "Bert" Butler)
    • Keywords: unsolved, Regent's Park, killing

    #170 - The Girl with a Smile for Everyone - Part One (Westbourne Grove, London, Britain) May 12, 2022
    Show notes

    On the far eastern edge of Regent’s Park is Cumberland Green on the corner of Chester Road and the Outer Circle. It’s a non-descript expanse of grass with several intersecting paths and few trees.


    On Wednesday 1st October 1947, at roughly 10:30pm, the body of a woman was discovered here. Her name was Gladys Hanrahan, also known as ‘Renée’, a 35-year-old book-keeper who worked in a local dairy. She was shy, quiet and polite; she never stayed out late, she always told her family where she was going, and she never walked through dark parks alone, and especially not with strangers.


    So, why was Gladys Hanrahan murdered and who by?

    • Date: Wednesday 1st October 1947
    • Location: Cumberland Green, Regent's Park, London, UK, NW1

    #169 - Samuel Bragg: The Miser's Demise (Maida Vale, London, England) May 05, 2022
    Show notes

    On the morning of Friday 17th July 1964, Kathleen Cotter, a mother of three who lived in the top floor flat of 7 Randolph Avenue in Maida Vale found 77-year-old Samuel Bragg dead in his bed. The old man had been ill for many months owing to malnutrition and advancing dementia.


    As was protocol, the police were called, an investigation was conducted, but his autopsy would confirm what everyone suspected, that old Samuel had died in his sleep. It’s a tragic story which happens every day, in every town…


    …only, a small sound heard higher up in the house would lead to a truly disturbing story which nobody suspected and would lead to the arrest of the murderer of Samuel Bragg.

    • Date: Friday 17th July 1964
    • Location: Ground Floor Flat, 7 Randolph Avenue, Maida Vale, London, UK, W9
    • Victims: 1 (Samuel Bragg)

    Show notes

    On Saturday 30th January 1965, at 10:50am, two men met for the very first time on the west bound Metropolitan Line of King’s Cross underground station. The first was a 44-year-old porter called Lawrence Gwyther, and the other was a 42-year-old homeless alcoholic called John Richie.


    Until that very moment, the two men had never met. And although their brief interaction would last just a few seconds, this incident would change both of their lives forever. And yet, their paths would only cross owing to circumstances outside of their control.

    • Date: Saturday 30th January 1965 at 10:50am

    #167 - The Bloody Butler - Part Two (Belgravia, London, UK) Apr 21, 2022
    Show notes

    This is Part Two of Two of The Bloody Butler.


    With their employer on holiday in Scotland, on Saturday 9th August 1969 at 2:30pm, Frank & Victor were seen enjoying a pleasant lunch at Coq Au Vin, a French restaurant at 8 Harriet Street in Knightsbridge. At 3pm, they returned to 69 Eaton Place. With Frank too tired, and with Victor looking to party the night away, he hit the town alone.


    Why are his movements that night so important? With his boss away, this was his free-time, and he was just enjoying a night off? So surely his absence from the flat only proves his innocence? Or maybe those timings tell us everything we need to know about his lover’s brutal murder.

    • Date: Sunday 10th August 1966 at 9:08am (call to the police)
    • Location: Flat 3, 69 Eaton Place, Belgravia, London, UK, SW1
    • Victims: 1 (Frank William Hocking)
    • Culprits: 1 (Victor Norman Ford-Lloyd)

    #166 - The Bloody Butler - Part One (Belgravia, London, Britain) Apr 14, 2022
    Show notes

    This is Part One of Two.


    On the next morning of Sunday 10th August at 09:08am, Victor Ford-Lloyd the butler to Sir William Ackroyd entered the top floor flat at 69 Eaton Place after a night out. In the master bedroom, he found his friend, his lover and the man servant to Sir William dead. Having died several hours earlier, he was lying motionless, with a sticky pool of congealed blood about his head, having had his skull brutally smashed in with a hammer.


    But why?


    Was this a robbery? A revenge killing? Or an attack on an openly gay man? With Sir William in Scotland and Victor at several clubs in the city at the time of the murder, neither witnessed the attack, or saw any potential suspects. So, what happened, and who murdered Sir William’s manservant?

    • Date: Sunday 10th August 1966 at 9:08am (call to the police)

    #165 - To Love, To Die, Forever (Piccadilly, London, UK) Apr 07, 2022
    Show notes

    On Sunday 30th October 1932, Mabel & Herbert checked into Room 201, at the far-left end of the second floor. They had enjoyed a romantic week together, they been out to the theatre, they had savoured a last meal, they sent their personal belongings to their families, and having written their suicide notes, they laid on the bed, and kissed each other goodbye… having taken cyanide. It was ultimate love story of Bradford’s very own Romeo & Juliet. Or so it seemed.
