Two murders unconnected within a mile and three days of each other in Plumstead, a district in South East London.
This podcast is recorded in one take without editing.
Please be advised that the podcast starts after about six minutes when I share with you an accusation made by another podcaster who has called me a disgusting plagiarist.
The story when it starts, is a forgotton story about an affray at the Duke of York public house when some South African black nationalist exiles start an affray which ends in murder.
I thought I would try something a little different for the podcast during 2026. Each month (in conjunction with the usual podcast content) I shall broadcast a podcast giving selected stories from SPR’s journal as they have been bound together (two years at a time) in the British Library. I am starting with the journals from 1913/14 and will continue in chronological order. I have started with World War 1 being the sta...
This is the last podcast of 2025, calling it William Hepper of Chelsea and Brighton. painter, spy, BBC employee and child killer.
A case you are unlikely to have ever known about. An unpleasant story, I try not to comment, please listen and make up your own mind.
Podcast 243 and the number eight Christmas podcast. This case took place in Scotland sixty five years ago over the Christmas period of 1960 in Sauchi, Scotland. Skeptics that studied the case concluded that some of the phenomena reported was genuine although they could not be sure of what caused it.
I am putting this podcast out on the shortest day of 2025, Sunday 21 Dec.

This is a forgotten murder from a different time. 63 years ago, in the city of Newcastle a minor crime of embezzlement led to a murder. Not so much an exciting story but more of a reflection of the time. Told in one take without editing.
Another short podcast while I am away. This is a story of a couple of women who breaking up in London in 1971 had a nasty falling out. Told in one take without editing.
I am still out of the country so am posting some shorter podcasts to keep the podcast ticking over. This one concerns a case from 1963 going on to 1967. The podcast is recorded in a studio that is soundproofed but visited by various cats and dogs and sometimes other creatures.
This podcast is set in Soho, Central London an area where I used to work and knew quite well back in the late 1980s.
This is a short podcast just to post something while I am away. Daisy / Dorothy Wallis started a business in High Holborn, central London. She lived a quiet home life with her parents, one wonders who would have wished her harm ?
Chloe and Josh Bashford lived at Newhaven with their four children. Their lives were ended by a family friend who killed them for no understandable reason and then claimed diminished responsibility. The killer will be sentenced on 6 November 2025.

John Kealty travelled to Mexico to write a travel guide in the style of a Lonely Planet guide twenty years before they were a thing. It did not end well.
This case is in living memory. Going back to 1974. Egon Von Bulow's parents came from South America, had him while in the UK, then left him when they went back home. Not an ideal start for him. He grew up anti authoritarian. He shot three policemen and committed other crimes after seemingly losing control during July 1974. He could be living near you today.
This case happened in Egypt in 1950, so just about in Living memory. It was a difficult time for British-Egyptian relations. When three soldiers were involved in a murder and tried by a British Court Martial, all politicians tried not to get involved as it was easier for all involved to bury an awkward problem.

The story of Reverend Davidson, the vicar of Stiffkey dominated the newspapers in the early 1930s. This is the story.
The Lion and Albert, By Stanley Holloway was a comic monologue inspired by actual events they had heard about in 1932. The events in this podcast happened in 1937. Nevertheless, I have put the lyrics here for anyone unfamiliar with the verse.
