  • #275 - Stolen Womanhood
    Nov 14 2024

    On Sunday 5th of November 1978, at a little after 5:30pm, two women stood at a bus stop on Sydney Place in Kensington, SW7, waiting for the rush hour bus. Having been close friends for decades, there seemed to be an odd friction between them, and although their issue was of a personal nature, within minutes, one would be a wanted criminal on the run, and the other would be shot dead.


    But why did Alvada Kooken murder Margaret Philbin?

    Nov 7 2024

    1st August 1970, 20-year-old Mary McCormack of Limerick was found strangled in her ground floor flat at 85 Talgarth Road in Baron’s Court, W14.

  • #273 - A 'Bad' Man
    Oct 31 2024

    On Tuesday 11th August 1936, at roughly noon, in the basement flat of 7 Roseford Gardens in Shepherd’s Bush, 66-year-old widow Elizabeth Fortescue was smothered to death, as her attacker ransacked her flat. Given the violence used against her, the Police suspected “she had died at the hands of a violent man”. But how true was that?

  • #272 - Red Mist
    Oct 24 2024

    On Sunday 31st July 1949, just before midnight, Michael Martin unleashed a violent attack on a defenseless 53-year-old prostitute known locally as ‘Mona’. To the press, it seemed like an all-too-familiar story of a destitute woman who was brutally murdered by a horny drunken punter, but with time and infirmity catching up with all of us, this anonymous streetwalker’s death marked the end of an amazing criminal.

  • #271 - Vicious Circles
    Oct 17 2024

    On Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th of August 2021, having recently been released from prison, Lee Peacock brutally murdered his ex-partner Sharon Pickles and her partner Clinton Ashmore. But was this due to jealousy, or a drug-induced paranoia, or jealousy, being stuck inside their own ‘vicious circles’.

  • #270 - The 'Taxi Driver' Murders - Part Two
    Oct 10 2024

    This is Part Two of Two of The 'Taxi Driver' Murders.


    Two weeks after the murder of veteran taxi-driver Frank Everitt, a 39-year-old black marketeet called Reuben Martirosoff alias 'Russian Robert' was murdered in an almost identical way. Only this didn't look like a meticulously planned execution, it looked like the epitome of incompetence.

    Oct 3 2024

    This is Part One of Two of The 'Taxi Driver' Murders.


    On Thursday 18th of October 1945, the bloodied body of veteran taxi-driver Frank Everitt was found wedged on the bridge in a hole at the pump house on Lambeth Bridge, which he could hardly fit into. At first, it seemed like he was either stuck or sleeping, but was this just a crude attempt to conceal a corpse, or a meticulously planned execution?
