    The arrondissements of Paris are twenty administrative districts which divide France’s capital in a clockwise spiral, starting from the north bank of the River Seine. The 19th arrondissement, known as Butte-Chaumont, is situated to the right bank of the River Seine, crossed by two canals which meet near the Parc de la Villette. The area is considered the most affordable in all of Paris, and gives home to an eclectic mix of residents from bohemian Parisian students, North African refugees and those simply seeking a more affordable place to live. There is both beauty and deprivation in the area, but for many residents – that is simply Paris writ small.

    On Monday, May 5, 1986, as he entered the elevator headed for the lobby of 116 Rue Petit at 8:20am, Luc Richard-Bloch was met with what struck him as a particularly strange man, even for some of the residents of the 19th arrondissement...

  • The Mount Stewart Murder

    The Mount Stewart Murder
    Sep 22 2021
    Early on Friday March 30th, 1866, William Henderson prepared to set off on the 5-mile journey to Perth in Scotland for the weekly cattle market. He had a lot on his mind: There was a significant outbreak of cholera affecting cattle in the nearby regions in Scotland, and people and animals were getting sick. He had livestock ready to give birth on his farm and needed to make sure the birthing went well. He had been having issues with a local worker on his farm – suspecting him of not being all which he appeared. In addition to that, his elder sister Janet had been on his back for the general state of the farmhouse. With all of these problems racing round his head, the last thing which William Henderson thought he would have to deal with that day would be murder.

    Minisode 1: Hyndland in Glasgow typically means affluence. It is synonymous with large townhouses, flashy cars, sport stars and a café culture which stands at odds with the less prosperous sides of ‘The Dear Green Place’, as Glasgow is nicknamed. Its children span the great and good of Glasgow society, from actors Robert Carlyle and Kelly McDonald, Liz Lochhead, Glasgow’s former Poet Laureate, comedian Frankie Boyle and the multi-talented Sanjeev Kohli to name a few.

    However, in 1952, resident Edwin Finlay, was working his way towards becoming not one of Hyndland’s most famous sons, but one of its most infamous.

    Minisode 2: On Friday the 17th of June, 1994, a call came in to 999 – the emergency services number in the United Kingdom. A teenaged male was creating a public disturbance in the Gorbals Norfolk Street, brandishing a bladed weapon...
