Summary

If you have single friends or family members you have probably been asked to introduce any single friends to them. As we know, this has the capacity to go wrong for numerous reasons.

But in the story today from London, John worked with and was good friends with Roger Frisbee who was a lovely, gentle and mild-mannered man so had no qualms introducing him to his sister June. At first things went very well and June and Roger married and had two children. But then the relationship began to deteriorate with terrible consequences.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to episode 421 of the UK True Crime podcast. Hi, Madam. Thank you so much for joining me today.
0:09.4	I wonder if like me you have an interest in mountains, a real fascination with mountains.
0:14.6	And I reflect a lot on those who've lost their lives trying to climb them or descend having reached a summit.

1:23.9	In the news this month, South African cricket captain Hansi Cronia was charged by
1:28.5	deadly police with fixing one day international matches against India. He later died in,
