Lust at the Theatre: Episode 304

This week, we head to the north-west of England and a local theatre group. The theatre is a serious business here and the productions put on are of a very high quality, but it is also very sociable. In the episode this week, two couples from the group begin socialising, but then Chris Linaker and Jenny Cupit begin a very passionate 16 month affair, where they explore their sexual boundaries. But as we have seen so often on the UK True Crime podcast, an affair which is about sex for one party and love for another, often ends badly - and this week, we see a shocking and violent outcome.1, Please support my sponsorUK True Crime Podcast listeners get 10% off their first month at www.BetterHelp.com/TRUECRIME. 2, Buy tickets for my live show in Manchester in Octoberhttps://www.murdermiletours.com/liveshow.html?fbclid=IwAR3c-Ml3b0N9QKTu1Y7QYKMdBcHwyIMUdPlSyZ3Wo6TU4H737kWlYb7t-TA3, Please buy my book 'Gone Fishing' about the life and crimes of Angus Sinclairhttps://mangobooks.co.uk/products/gone-fishing4, Other referenced siteswww.patreon.com/uktruecrimehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrimewww.uktruecrime.com4, Sourceshttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/270492.stmhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/264675.stmhttps://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/feb/03/davidwardhttp://www.troubleandstrife.org/articles/issue-39/bad-press/https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/5306260.i-wish-to-rebuild-a-life-for-my-children/https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/5306260.i-wish-to-rebuild-a-life-for-my-children/https://www.thefreelibrary.com/INNOCENCE+KILLED+BY+ENVY%3B+Blameless+Kathryn+was+a+victim+of+sordid...-a060423324 Hosted on Acast.

The Rolex Killer: Episode 301

It was early on a summers morning in the English Channel, not far from Exeter, when the fishermen pulled up their nets. They were heavy and they were excited by what they may have caught. They found themselves looking at the fully clothed body of a middle-aged man and immediately called the police. The difficulty the police experienced was that there was no ID on the man at all, just an expensive rolex watch on his wrist. Would this help them find the man and just what happened to him?Referenced siteswww.patreon.com/uktruecrimehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrimewww.uktruecrime.comSourceshttps://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymouth-news/rolex-murder-how-police-caught-516448.amp?fbclid=IwAR37_lJofAr3MStsfCsU_ggZsNUWfKbBrUQtVNalrMQ-4eh5yYaZSYVBAk4https://medium.com/crimebeat/the-insanely-bizarre-murder-mystery-of-ronald-joseph-platt-6254fa29bd6ehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Johnson_Walkerhttps://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/daughter-speaks-out-against-evil-father/article18219037/ Hosted on Acast.
