| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the mens rea podcast, and this is the story of the murder of |
| 0:07.0 | young auction. The Oh, Bournemouth is a large town on the southern coast of England, initially begun as a holiday |
| 0:49.5 | resort town to rival places such as Brighton and Bognor Regis. Its population grew rapidly, as did the services in the area and by the early 2000s the area has all the amenities and downsides that you would expect in a large urban center, |
| 1:06.9 | just with a seaside feel. Tourism still remains important though, and it's a popular place to head for those who are |
| 1:14.4 | looking for a more laid-back approach to English life than in London and other |
| 1:19.2 | cities. And so it was that young Akshin, known to her friends as Oki, found herself in Bormuth. |
| 1:28.0 | She was a 26-year-old Korean student who had moved to England in November of 2001 as a language student where |
