Welcome to episode eight in the series of my monthly chats with Stuart from @britishmurders. As usual, we look at crime stories that made headlines in August 2025, covering local, national, and international headlines.
This month, for the second consecutive month, Stuart decided not to choose a story related to a shark, whale or any other creature who lives in the sea. Which was nice. We covered the following:
1) Father of boy sexually assaulted on campsite saw attacker
2) Leeds paedophile Bernard Joyce finally unmasked as brave survivors speak out
3) TikTok and Instagram accused of targeting teens with suicide and self-harm content
4) Heathrow flight 'passenger from hell' vomits and 'spits wine at family' at 30,000ft
5) Faces of men who ran 'lookalike' scheme to bring migrants into the UK
6) Norwegian diving duo sentenced over thwarted $26 million cocaine import plot
7) Kidnappings and Attacks on Humanitarian Aid Convoys Endanger the Population of Suwayda
8) Cheeky Diner Tries To Avoid Paying For Meal By Releasing Rodent Into Restaurant
9) Moment thieves snatch $30,000 worth of Labubu dolls in shop break-in
Join us as we dive into these extraordinary stories in the August 2025 edition of ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ณ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ถ๐ฑ.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
Itโs 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off Americaโs third largest cash heist. But itโs all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular โol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
