Last week on the UK true Crime podcast, I covered the murder of Suzanne Blamires who was killed by Stephen Griffiths in Bradford. Detectives linked this murder to other local missing people, including Susan Rushworth and Shelley Armitage. In this concluding episode, I look at how Griffiths admitted murdering Susan and Shelley, and examine other unsolved murders where Griffiths may have been responsible.

On the Friday, Suzanne Blamires went missing from her housing association home in the Allerton district of Bradford. Her family were immediately concerned for her welfare, but for the police Suzanne – or Amber as she was known on the streets - was a sex worker with a heroin habit and in a life that was often chaotic, they had little to go on. And by Monday Suzanne still hadn’t been found. But that morning, as the caretaker of a block of flats in Bradford watched his CCTV of the weekends activity, he saw to his horror Suzanne being brutally attacked....Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comBuy my book 'Gone Fishing' about serial killer Angus Sinclairhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Gone-Fishing-Unsolved-Crimes-Sinclair/dp/1914277201Bloodhound GinPlease head to persiedistillery.com/uktc to find about more about UK True Crime Bloodhound Gin.

This week, the Uk true crime podcast comes from the north-east of England, just by Durham. The A1 (M) is a busy motorway, and at 6.17pm on a summers day there were a few issues northbound due to an earlier fuel spillage. As the traffic slowed, none of the people in their cars patiently heading towards their destinations could have imagined that a 3.5 tonne lorry would not stop, and plough into the traffic, with terrible consequences.Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comBuy my book 'Gone Fishing' about serial killer Angus Sinclairhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Gone-Fishing-Unsolved-Crimes-Sinclair/dp/1914277201Bloodhound GinPlease head to persiedistillery.com/uktc to find about more about UK True Crime Bloodhound Gin.

The local pub near Cambridge were hosting a Halloween party. Chris and Rebecca West weren't planning to go, they fancied a quiet night in watching TV with a takeaway. A number of their friends were there and having a great time so they decided to go and it was a fantastic night. But everything changed after a game of pool, when it turned out that one man in that pub was carrying a knife, and shockingly, he was happy to use it.....Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comBuy my book 'Gone Fishing' about serial killer Angus Sinclairhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Gone-Fishing-Unsolved-Crimes-Sinclair/dp/1914277201Bloodhound GinPlease head to persiedistillery.com/uktc to find about more about UK True Crime Bloodhound Gin.

The international crime gang had planned everything, covered every detail.And as 33 year old Andrew Cole stood on the deck, he realised that his whole life depended on what happened in the next few hours. Andrew was listed as crew on the manifest, but his role was a very clear one – it was up to him to ensure the safe receipt, passage and transfer of the cocaine to a crew who were going to come out from the UK to take delivery of it near the English Channel. But as the Kahu reached the end of its journey from Barbados as it cruised past Guernsey, Andrew thought he heard a noise – or was it just his imagination playing tricks on him? He then clearly saw two vessels approach and to his horror he realised that is was the 42 metre Border Force cutter ‘Searcher’ along with the 19 metre coastal patrol vessel ‘Alert’. The gang had been rumbled....Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comBloodhound GinPlease head to persiedistillery.com/uktc to find about more about UK True Crime Bloodhound Gin.

20 year old Anna Kenny was walking to George Square in the centre of Glasgow to get a bus home when she was taken from the street and never seen alive again. Nobody has ever been convicted of her murder.In 2021, along with co-author Chris Clark, I released a book, 'Gone Fishing' about serial killer Angus Sinclair where we suggested that Sinclair was responsible for the murder of Anna Kenny. Can it just be coincidence that Anna's friend who was with her on the night she went missing married Sinclair's brother-in-law Gordon Hamilton? And why did Sinclair and Hamilton argue so badly on the night ahead of the wedding that the two never spoke again - was this about Anna's murder?My book, 'Gone Fishing' hasn't been available for a while but now it is back available to buy on Amazon, on kindle & paperback, and you can hear more about the terrible solved - and unsolved - crimes of Angus Sinclair.Buy 'Gone Fishing' todayhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C2SJ3JMM Hosted on Acast.

CCTV in Edinburgh catches almost every bus journey. 38 year old Suzanne Pilley was captured by CCTV one morning as she got off the bus and made the short journey to her office in the centre of Edinburgh. But although Suzanne made it to the office building, she never made it to her desk. Just what had happened to Suzanne?Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comBloodhound GinPlease head to persiedistillery.com/uktc to find about more about UK True Crime Bloodhound Gin.

This week on the UK True Crime Podcast, a Serial Killer.When Police Constable David Haigh was asked to deliver a summons to a poacher, it was quite a routine procedure for a police officers covering such a rural area. However, when the officer failed to return and couldn’t be contacted, his colleague PC Mick Clipston was sent out to find the missing officer. As he approached the tree lined, picnic area known as Norwood Edge he came upon a police car in a clearing at the side of the road with the doors open. As he got closer and parked he could see somebody was laid next to the car. To his shock and great distress, it was the dead body of his colleague, with a single bullet wound in the middle of his forehead.And more murders would follow.....Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://linktr.ee/uktruecrimeBloodhound GinPlease head to persiedistillery.com/uktc to find about more about UK True Crime Bloodhound Gin.

Carradale is a village on the east coast of Kintyre, off the west coast of Scotland and looking over the west coast of the Isle of Aaron in the Firth of Clyde. The harbour at Carradale is sheltered and looks out at the deep waters of Kibrannan Sound and then the towering mountains of Aaron. It is a beautiful, peaceful spot and if you look carefully, you will see a small memorial plaque on the harbour wall, commemorating the crew of the FV Antares, who lost their lives at sea. In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at just what happened to the FV Antares off the coast of Scotland.Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://linktr.ee/uktruecrimeSourceshttps://www.thenational.scot/news/19547219.vigil-true-story-antares-trawler-sunk-submarine/https://britishseafishing.co.uk/the-sinking-of-fv-antares/https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12647389.eight-lessons-learned-from-tragedy-of-antares-sinking/            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FV_Antareshttps://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/54c1127c40f0b6158d00001b/MAIBReport_AntaresHMSTrenchant-1992.pdfhttps://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12550636.fatal-combination-that-led-to-disaster/https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12584178.minister-says-no-more-action-on-antares-sinking/https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/fishing-boat-skipper-blasts-faslane-9035294https://theferret.scot/royal-navy-secrecy-nuclear-submarine-crashes/https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12548163.no-antares-action/https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/5816906/nuclear-submarine-collision-ferry-passengers-scotland/http://www.kintyreforum.com/https://www.nickdavies.net/1992/12/12/truth-behind-the-fatal-sinking-of-a-trawler/https://fishingnews.co.uk/news/pescado-owner-aims-for-new-inquest/ Hosted on Acast.
