Strange Stories: Kent Serial Killer thwarted part 2.

What is the largest fish caught in British freshwaters and are they dangerous? This episode is about a huge creature that lived in Martin Mere that was said to feed on swans!  Some of the podcast is rather silly but all of it true.There is a Slightly boring opening about geological features, folklore and drainage systems, this lasts about five minutes, so maybe  skip that part.  As usual please be warned this is a lo fi production by someone that often stumbles over words and records in one take without any editing.CFZ have a facebook site 

This case was committed in Boscombe, part of Bournemouth during August 2023. The case has come to Winchester Crown Court this month, starting on April 11, it is expected to finish in late May, more likely early June 2024.I am not sure how to describe the case in a line or two. A gregarious extrovert couple with addiction and mental health problems commit an atrocious act. The trial is live, so please follow it in the media. I dont think I will post another podcast on this case unless  there  is  something  to justify another podcast. I intend to post a couple of lighter podcasts, non murder cases. Perhaps a paranormal podcast, Also a podcast about  the Beatles and John Lennon, I am aware that I have not posted a cryptozoology podcast for some time.

Confrontations and Closing Speeches.This is the fifth podcast on the Constance Marten and Mark Gordon trial. This one concentrates on the last month of the trial which only sat for a few days. The trial has again been delayed halfway through the Judge's summing up speech. I don't think that there will be a verdict until around 29 April 2024.The Strange Stories podcast is not a corporate podcast, there are other podcasts being made on the case,  it is recorded in one take, without any editing but attempts to be rich in detail.I am assuming anyone listening to this podcast has a good knowledge of the case, otherwise please listen to previous episodes.

Please be aware, this podcast is recorded in one take without editing. This is a case that was heard at Winchester Crown Court between January 2024 and March 2024.

I am posting this before the retrial of the  Nicholas Billingham / Fiona Beal case which is due to be heard at the Old Bailey in the late Spring of 2024.  This is a retrial of a case abandoned during June 2023 for no apparent reason. I am giving the background to the original trial. It is told in one take without editing.  I will post another podcast when the case finishes probably at the end of June 2024.

A Famous murder of its time in 1964, almost forgotten today. The case was famous for its forensic breakthrough. Recorded as usual in one take without editing.

 This is the fourth podcast of what is proving to be an extraordinary case.  I was expecting this to be a one podcast  case.T his podcast concentrates on the events of week 7 of this case being heard in Court 5 of the Old Bailey in London. This is being posted before the expected start of week 8 on March 25 2024. 

Recorded in lo fi without editing. I don't think you would have heard of this story from Portsmouth, UK in March 1973.

I am posting this podcast after week 6  of the trial. The case is intriguing with many odd and unexplained aspects . Week 7 is about to commence with Constance Marten continuing her defence.I am wondering how the jury are going to come to a verdict on which they all agree.As usual, this podcast is posted without editing and the presentation is not of a professional standard.

This is part 2 of the Constance Marten, Mark Gordon trial at the Old Bailey. Some reflections on the first five weeks of the trial. As always the podcast is recorded in one take with no editing.
