Maniac: Part 2 - When The Devil Walked In Plumstead Apr 16, 2020

Show notes

One of the most heartbreaking, disturbing crimes ever covered on the show comes this week, as we are continuing the 5th series multi episode arc here on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast. Last episode we were introduced to a serial sexual predator bringing terror to the open spaces of South London. The attacks concerned were horrific enough, but as the opening episode said - the perpetrator was to go on to do much, much worse.
And this episode, you'll find out just what right here - in part. The episode is titled such for a reason - see if after you've heard it, you agree if it's an apt one.
