    Show notes

    On the night of Wednesday 28th of July 1954, 11 South Hill Park was the scene of one of London’s most shocking and brutal murders. It was so horrific, it caused an outrage in society, an uproar in the press and a debate in Parliament as how could anyone be so callous and cruel? It was a murder which devastated a family, yet, the killer would claim they did it not out of hate, they did it for love.

    • Location: Basement / ground floor, 11 South Hill Park, Hampstead, London, NW3

    #295 - The Good Mum (Nicole Hurley, Primrose Hill, NW8) May 01, 2025
    Show notes

    On Saturday 9th of October 2021, mother-of-four Nicole Hurley was brutally attacked in her bed; only the man who murdered her wasn’t a stranger who’d stalked her or a burglar who’d broken in, but the jealous and controlling boyfriend she’d loved, lay beside, and raised a family with for half of her life. That night, he took her life, orphaned her children and devasted her family, yet - like so many domestic assaults which culminate in a killing – it could have been stopped, if only he’d got himself some help.


    • Date: Sunday 10th of October 2021 at 12:30am (rough time of attack)
    • Location: Block 2, Kingsland Estate, Broxwood Way, Primrose Hill, London, NW8.

    • Culprits: 1 (Jason Bell).

    #294 - Sheer 'Bloody' Ignorance (‘Robyn’ Browne, Fitvrovia, UK) Apr 24, 2025
    Show notes

    On Friday 28th of February 1997 sometime after 7pm, at 6b Gosfield Street, a brutal and bloody attack on a lone sex-worker occurred in this first floor flat. Barely reported in the newspapers and ignored by television, the murder of ‘Robyn’ Browne is a case which was largely forgotten… yet the truth of what happened could be hidden among a scattering of facts, being drenched by a deluge of bigotry, racism and fear which helped derail the investigation.


    • Date: Friday 28th of February 1997 after 7pm (time of murder)
    • Location: First Floor, 6B Gosfield Street, Fitzrfovia, London, W1
    • Victim: 1 (James Darwin Errol Browne , known as 'Robyn')
    • Culprits: 1 (James Hopkins).

Staying in Room 4 of Flat 20 on the third floor, she and her 8-year-old daughter unpacked their cases, popped on their nightdresses, ordered a pot of tea and got into bed beside the reassuring warmth of the fire.

    #292 - One of Life's Winners (Peter Wickins, Gordon Topen, UK) Apr 10, 2025
    Show notes

    Saturday 19th of December 1992 at 2:20pm, behind a wooden hut at White City bus depot off Caxton Road in Shepherd's Bush, the body of 32-year-old successful Peter Wickins was found, he was naked except for a pair of socks and had been stabbed 19 times.


    The Police assumed because he was a millionaire dressed in a tuxedo and that his Rolex watch was missing, that it must be a robbery gone wrong. But it led to a story which was much darker, as one of life’s winners... met one of life's losers.

    Show notes

    On Saturday 25th of May 1963 at 12:20am, four men were ejected from The Establishment Club on Greek Street in Soho. They left without a struggle, with no blood spilled, no damage done and nobody hurt. And yet, with accusations of corruption, violence and an attempted murder in its wake, it sparked a criminal trial and an inquiry which almost brought down the Metropolitan Police, courtesy of one of West End Central’s most corrupt officers – Detective Sergeant Harold ‘Tanky’ Challoner.

    #289 - The Chalk Pit Murder - Part Two (Thomas John Ley, Kensington, London) Mar 20, 2025
    Show notes

    This is Part Two of Two of The Chalk Pit Murder.

    On Thursday 28th of November 1946, Australian politician Thomas Ley enlisted four good people to help him trap a bad man who terrorised women. As a simple plan with no law broken and nobody hurt, it was a gentlemanly reaction to a dastardly crime by a criminal who they felt deserved worse. Only what began as a good deed by four decent and moral people, soon descended into deceit and death.

    • Date: Thursday 28th of November 1946 at 7:00pm+ (murder of John Mudie)
    • Location: 5 Beaufort Gardens, Knightsbride, London, SW3 (Ley's house, with entrance being on Brompton Place)
