War Games : Revisited

When the emergency services arrived in the early hours of the morning they found three men dead. A flat in Glasgow became a crime scene so disturbing that the detective who attended it would later describe it as the most chilling he had ever visited. But how did a night of friends heading to the flat for some drinks end with three murders? This is the story of the House of Blood - a case involving shocking violence, unlikely perpetrators and a series of events that are difficult to comprehend.I release new episodes of the UK True Crime Podcast every Tuesday and Friday, so please do join me for the next story on Tuesday.Find out more about me, Adam Lloyd, & UK True Crimehttps://uktruecrime.comSupport me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeBuy Me a Coffeehttps://buymeacoffee.com/uktruecrimepodcastWatch my YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@Adam-uktruecrime/videosJoin UK True Crime Facebook Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrime Hosted on Acast.

A young girl cycling to a music rehearsal. One day, you have to let a child take that step into adulthood, and back in the summer of 1981, Hampshire schoolgirl Marion Crofts parents Trevor and Anne had done just that - they had even agreed on the safest route for her to make the 5 mile journey.Except - that route was anything but safe for Marion. It marked the beginning of a two decade wait for justice for Marion - and her family - and the identification of a predator who may have even have gone on to do much more....The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of a sexual nature, and with references to injury detail that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.Music used in this episode: "The Descent" by Kevin Macleod.

On the 11th of February 1954, at ‘Sunset House’, a care home in Ealing, West London, the body of 42-year-old Isobel Chesney was found having drowned in her bath. Her killer, her husband, John Donald Merrett assumed that Police would believe this was an accident, but having also battered to death her mother, 68 year old Lady Mary Menzies, when she got in the way, the investigation quickly led to a killer who thought he had the perfect alibi - being hundreds of miles away in Amsterdam at the time of the killing – but his murder plot was fuelled by more confidence than common sense.Eight time nominated at the True Crime Awards, Independent Podcast Awards and the British Podcast Awards, Murder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.

On August 13th, 1981, 36-year-old Carol Morgan was murdered in the storeroom of the family-run shop she owned with her husband, Allen, in Linslade, Bedfordshire. A devoted mum of two, Carol had been trying to save her marriage despite discovering her husband's affair, but that evening, while her children were out at the cinema with their stepdad, Carol was brutally attacked and left for dead. Whoever had killed her disappeared, leaving detectives with a baffling case and a family desperate for answers.The investigation into Carol Morgan's murder would become one of Bedfordshire Police's largest, involving hundreds of witnesses, thousands of investigative actions and a search for an unidentified man reportedly seen leaving the shop. Despite years of enquiries, the case remained unsolved until a cold-case review uncovered new evidence more than four decades later. A conversation in a local pub, financial records and the circumstances surrounding Carol's final evening would eventually lead to a dramatic trial and a murder conspiracy conviction, yet one important question remained unanswered: who had physically carried out the killing?In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, I examine the murder of Carol Morgan, the investigation that followed and the cold-case breakthrough that finally brought her husband to justice. We explore the troubled marriage, the evidence presented at trial, the role of a witness whose account took decades to emerge, and the conviction that came more than forty years after Carol's death. But although Allen Morgan was found guilty of conspiracy to murder in 2024, the person who actually killed Carol has never been identified. Forty-five years later, her family are still waiting for that final piece of the puzzle.If you know anything that might help finally solve this case once and for all, please consider contacting Bedfordshire Police on 01480 422796 quoting "Operation Markdown", or alternatively you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.Exclusive content:Patreon - Ad Free, Early Access, Exclusive EpisodesFollow the show:British Murders with Stuart BluesDisclaimer:The case discussed in this podcast episode is real and represents the worst day in many people's lives.

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.Note: This episode was originally released in April 2023.I release new episodes of the UK True Crime podcast every Tuesday and Friday, so please do join me on Tuesday for the next episode.Find out more about me, Adam Lloyd, & UK True Crimehttps://uktruecrime.comSupport me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeBuy Me a Coffeehttps://buymeacoffee.com/uktruecrimepodcastWatch my YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@Adam-uktruecrime/videosJoin UK True Crime Facebook Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrime Hosted on Acast.

In June 1996, 25-year-old Melanie Hall disappeared after a night out in Bath, Somerset. She had spent the evening with friends during the opening weekend of Euro '96, but in the early hours of Sunday, June 9, she vanished without a trace. There was no confirmed explanation for where she had gone, and despite an extensive police investigation, Melanie's whereabouts remained a mystery for more than thirteen years.When human remains were discovered beside the M5 near Junction 14 in 2009, the investigation took a devastating turn. The remains were identified as Melanie's, and detectives were faced with the task of uncovering what had happened during those missing years. A series of arrests, renewed appeals and forensic developments followed, including the discovery of a potentially significant partial DNA profile on the blue rope used to wrap her remains. But despite decades of investigation, crucial questions about Melanie's final movements and the identity of her killer remain unanswered.In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, I examine the disappearance and murder of Melanie Hall, the investigation that followed, and the search for answers that has continued for thirty years. We look at the last confirmed sighting of Melanie inside Cadillacs nightclub, the discovery of her remains beside the M5, and the forensic evidence detectives are still hoping will help solve this cold case. Above all, we remember Melanie as a daughter, sister and friend whose life was taken far too soon, and whose family are still waiting for justice.If you have any information about the murder of Melanie Hall, please contact Avon and Somerset Police on 101, or reach out anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.Exclusive content:Patreon - Ad Free, Early Access, Exclusive EpisodesFollow the show:British Murders with Stuart BluesDisclaimer:The case discussed in this podcast episode is real and represents the worst day in many people's lives.
