Welcome to Murder Mile, a true crime podcast, an audio guided walk,

featuring many of London's untold, unsolved and long-forgotten murders, all set within

one square mile of the West End.

Today's episode is the concluding part of the true story of Paul Knobbs.

A 19-year-old student who was befriended and seduced by one of Britain's most infamous serial killers, Dennis Nielsen.

Murder Mile contains deathly depictions, which won't be suitable for tender ears,

as well as realistic sounds, so that, no matter where you listen to this podcast,

you'll feel like you're actually there.

My name is Michael. I am your tour guide, and this is Murder Mile.
