“He looked like the boy next door — until the doors began to close for good.”

Between 1995 and 1998, Stephen Akinmurele was linked to a string of brutal murders across the North West of England and the Isle of Man — crimes that exposed a quiet, calculating killer living behind an ordinary façade. What began in Manchester’s suburbs would widen across the Irish Sea, leaving behind a legacy of unanswered questions and silent victims.

This week, the Archive journeys from Manchester’s quiet cul-de-sacs to the misted streets of the Isle of Man, where ordinary life masked a gathering darkness.

This episode is based on contemporaneous reporting and official police statements relating to this case. The suspect died in custody before the case could be heard in court, so there was never a trial and no court record to draw on.
