UK True Crime Podcast (Audio Always)

This week, we head to the South-West of England for a shocking story involving the mysterious world of outlaw motorcycle clubs.

There is a famous line about the Hells Angels motorcycle club – if you have to ask how to join the Hells Angels, you probably won’t understand the answer and membership probably isn’t for you.

The episode this week shows the strong ties of the members of these clubs, but on this occasion, a normal evening escalated to such an extent that an innocent man was left dead at the roadside.

Seventy seven year old Judith Richardson lived in Hexham in the north of England. Judith was often seen out and about in the town walking her beloved pet dog Hamish a West Highland Terrier. and was well known for her love of organ recitals at the Abbey. One day when her bag turned up in Newcastle, 20 miles from her home, it was handed in to police who arrived at her home to return the bag.

Knocking on Judith’s door brought about no response. There was no sign of a forced entry to the property, but something did not feel quite right. Deciding to force entry into the property, the officers were stunned to discover the body of Judith Richardson lying dead in her hallway. Just who would possibly have wanted to kill Judith? And why?

Marian Bates ran the Time Centre jewellery shop on Front Street in Nottingham with her family. On one normal day, Marian was working as usual with her husband Victor and daughter Xanthe when at about 13:30 armed robbers burst into the shop. Marian was shot during the robbery as she tried to defend her daughter and tragically lost her life at just 64 years old.

One of the criminals who was sent to prison for 13 years in connection for conspiracy to rob Marian’s jewellers was Craig Moran. And in April 2017, Moran was out of prison and looking to make up for the lost years behind bars. In the episode this week, we follow his organised crime career from his release to the current day.

It was a man with an Irish accent who made the warning call with a recognised code word to British Rail at Waterloo at about 8.50pm, saying that a bomb would go off at The London Stock Exchange in 20 minutes. But there was no bomb at the Stock Exchange. At 9.23om, a huge bomb exploded at The Baltic Exchange, half a mile from where the caller had said the attack would take place.

The result was terror, chaos, loss of life and multiple serious injuries. In this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, I tell the story of the horror that was The Baltic Exchange Bombing.

This meant they both had the dreadful task of telling their partners that they were leaving them. In this case these conversations resulted in the most shocking of outcomes...

I know, I know you don't use a travel agent any longer. But the service offered by Lyne Barlow, an independent travel agent in County Durham was incredible - way cheaper than everyone else and when you asked her why she would say that the bigger players ripped you off. And all your family and friends were using her and getting great deals on dream holidays. Why not get yourself a deal?

But unfortunately, that old adage about if something seems too good to be true it usually is, held true with the agency operated by Lyne Barlow. But her scale of deception was staggering....

In just one week three people had been murdered in the West Midlands and others had been attacked by the prime suspect, Anthony Russell. The local community were scared by what had happened and naturally concerned for their own safety. Detectives knew they needed to find Russell quickly and launched a major manhunt - before he could kill again.

In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast I look at this week of terror in the West Midlands.

Vikki Thompson lived in a village near Oxford with her husband Jonathan, two young children and the family dog, Daisy. At about 4pm one Saturday afternoon, Vikki took Daisy for her usual afternoon walk in the pretty countryside close to where she lived. Half an hour later, Daisy returned home with no sign of Vikki which was most unusual. Jonathan knew something was wrong and headed out to look for his wife where he was joined by others in the village. At just before 7.15pm Vikki was finally found by the railway embankment, but she had been attacked, suffering terrible injuries and despite an air ambulance taking her to hospital in Oxford, just six days later Vikki had died of her injuries.

In this episode of the UK true Crime podcast I ask just who killed Vicki - and why?

Life was pretty good for Paul Brady. He had just got engaged to Emma and the big day was set for the following spring.

Paul was a foreman responsible for security at a number of local site and one sunny Saturday morning he met up with a joiner, David Collier, and headed to a local property to make some repairs after the house suffered some vandalism the evening before. By 2.10pm, all was done and the two men were driving away when the peace of the day was shattered and their path was blocked when a people carrier blocked their way along the road and another vehicle came up behind their cars – a classic pincer movement. Both men knew straight away it was an ambush and they were in trouble. These assailants weren’t amateurs – they were armed with metal bars and baseball bats and one had a shotgun. All were wearing black, tight-fitting ski masks and identical black hooded tops and black trousers. They weren’t messing about.

David managed to escape by jumping in a nearby river but Paul wasn't so lucky and suffered a dreadful beating. He was then taken away by the gang. Just who had kidnapped Paul Brady? And why?

The dream of owning property in The Caribbean plus gaining a large financial gain on your investment. For many of us it is the dream. And Essex businessman David Ames played on this as he lured investors with the promise of a Caribbean dream, but, the reality was a fraud he perpetrated which left thousands with the nightmare of losing life-savings and pensions.

Through glossy brochures, slick marketing events and the pulling power of so-called celebrities, he persuaded people to invest in off-plan holiday cabanas and apartments across the Caribbean and in Brazil. They lost everything whilst he and his family lived a life of luxury.

This week, I look at the scandal of Harlequin Properties.

In the story this week from Cardiff, 26 year old Geraldine Palk was enjoying her life - she had a close family, lots of friends and a job she enjoyed. One night, she had been out with work colleagues in the City Centre and left the club after midnight. She shared a taxi home with three other people, and was dropped just yards from her home. But she never made it to the front door. The next day Geraldine's body was discovered by children playing.

Just who had killed Geraldine? And why?

Roderick McLean said it was important to 'always cheat: always win'. A larger than life character, McLean, known as 'Popeye', was sent to prison when police and customs officers captured a gang of eight drug smugglers off the Caithness coast. During the raid customs officer Alastair Souter was killed when he fell and was crushed between a customs cutter and the gang's boat. The drugs haul netted three tons of cannabis, valued at £10 million.

McLean, the gang leader, was convicted and sentenced to 28 years in prison. But there is so much more than this to the story - not everything is quite as it seems.

Essex Police was the police force that first realised that a serial sexual attacker was on the loose following three attacks in the Southend area. But as the number of attacks in other locations continued to increase, the inquiry became nationwide and was managed by the Met. By the time they made an appeal on Crimewatch, at least 22 attacks by just one man had been reported - in addition to all the others of which the police were unaware.

One man watching Crimewatch that evening from his home in Cornwall was certain that the culprit was his brother. He phoned Crimewatch, and this call led detectives to investigate across the south of England from Cornwall to Essex, and also to the bars of Torremolinos, on the trail of a DJ with a long history of sexual assaults.

Christian Thornton was the landlord of the Hammer & Pincers pub, in Widnes in the north-west of England, and a very popular landlord he was too, who was very popular and worked closely with the many charities in the community. He didn’t take any nonsense but he was a kind, good-humoured man who took his responsibilities as a landlord seriously. He had run the popular pub with his wife for 16 years and as well as their business, it was also the home of the couple and their three children.

But on one quiet and very normal Sunday, events at the pub resulted in the most shocking murder.

It was 9.50 am when paramedics rushed to Queenswood Avenue in Bournemouth after a 999 call from Anita Turner. In a calm tone, she had told the call handler: “My son’s friend is staying with us. This morning I tried to wake both of them up but the girl didn’t wake up. I can’t wake her up.” The ‘friend’ she was referring to was her son’s girlfriend of the past few months, seventeen-year-old Emily Longley. Why had a seemingly fit and healthy Emily died that night?

In this episode, we discover once again, how families are not always what they seem, and secrets are held within the four walls.

This episode comes from Coventry where thirty year old Thomas Coleman was taking a horticultural course to get the experience needed for a permanent job. There he met a man ten years his junior, Robert Green who was on the same course. The pair struck up a friendship of sorts, although the two men were markedly different people. For instance, Robert Green sported a satanic symbol tattooed across his forehead whilst Thomas Coleman placed great faith in his Christian beliefs – as you can see, not the most obvious of friends.

When Green believed the Devil had told him to make a human sacrifice, the man he chose to attack was his quiet and gentle work colleague, Thomas Coleman.

It was the start of the holidays as the two yound girls ran down to the beach, enjoying their freedom. Following heavy rain the evening before, the girls were enjoying a dry, sunny morning on the coast. One of the girls spotted something amongst the flotsam, near the high tide mark. As young children would, they curiously approached the mysterious object hidden in the debris. A black plastic bag lay out before them, clearly containing something large inside. The girls peered inside.

Seconds later, upset and crying, they were both frantically running home from where their deeply concerned mum called the police.

Joseph Scudder and his fiance, Yvonne Killian, had spent the day shopping for their wedding rings ahead of their wedding in The Bahamas. When home, Yvonne took a nap ahead of work that evening as Joseph headed out to work. Joseph returned home at 1 am. The front door was locked, so he went around to the back of the flat and peered through the back window which had been broken. His eyes were met with the haunting sight of his fiancé’s dead body on the sofa, an image he never could forget.

Just who could possibly have wanted to hurt Yvonne? And why?

At 35 Benjamin Wilson appeared to have it all.  A financial trading maestro he was the local boy made good, living in a £4 million mansion in Sandbanks and able to spend most of his time on the golf course.

However, this was all a facade.  His world came crashing down when it became clear that he was in fact running a classic ponzi fraud.  Although on a much lesser scale than Stanford and Madoff, this financial crime caused devastation in his local community as some victims of the crime lost everything they had worked for all their lives.

Now serving time in prison, this podcast tells the story of Benjamin Wilson.

In 1993, Colin Hatch was responsible for a sickening murder which shocked and disgusted the entire nation.  In this episode of the weekly UK True Crime Podcast we explore the circumstances leading up to this murder, including the refusal of authorities to accept the recommendation that Hatch should be sent to Broadmoor to stop him killing - as he was not dangerous enough.  We then look at Hatch's own murder in prison, at the hands of a convicted Armed Robber who had already attempted to murder the Soham Killer, Ian Huntley.

We look at all the families affected by these three crimes and the differing emotions generated.

Finally, we look at how detectives involved in the original investigation into Lynette's death found themselves on trial for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice before the trial sensationally collapsed.
