S2 Ep13: Richard John Bingham, the murderous 7th Earl of Lucan

Helen and Danni head to high society London to learn about the mysterious and murderous Richard John Bingham, the 7th Earl of Lucan. After growing up in the lap of luxury in New York during the Second World War, Richard entered the upper class with some seriously expensive taste. Attending Eton and turning into the worst kind of person, Richard wanted his way and he would get it at any expense… Expect gross rich boy behaviour, some interesting bed time activities, and a seriously bloody and gruesome murder.

Devils in The Dark contains details of graphic violence, murder and suicide. It is not intended for all audiences. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
