Hello and welcome to episode 406 of the UK True Crime Podcast, I'm Adam, the only

podcast host with the Freedom of Rochdale and according to my favorite review of

2024 I'm still okay, but I'm in decline, something

my wife regularly tells me.

Thank you so much for joining me today for this story from North London. It's a murder that really breaks, I think,

some of the stereotypes that we hold about contract killers, I think. But before we get into it,

let's set some context with the welcome return of our guest a month and year game.

Top of the UK singles charts was Please Don't Go from KWS, a dance act from Nottingham. In the US it was Chris Cross with Jump. Remember dancing

to that for those of us for certain age? Sadly I do. And in the Australian album charts the top album this year was a soundtrack from Jesus Christ Superstar.

In the news this month US Army and Marine Corps forces arrived in LA to end the rioting following the acquittal of four police

officers over the shocking beating of Rodney King.

In sailing the America's Cup finals began in San Diego, no doubt you'll be glued to your screen for this year's event in Barcelona.

I recently looked at the prices of the hospitality packages for this event and wow. I think I'll just buy a couple

of Ferraris instead. This month Liverpool won the FA Cup for the fifth time beating

Sunderland tune in the final and final and plans were unveiled for a fifth terminal at Keithrow Airport

which was the busiest airport in the world.

And finally the top grossing film in the UK this month was Basic Instinct before being

knocked off the top spot by Wayne's World. So did you guess a month in year?

It was May 1992. A tricky one I think, please do let me know if you got it.

Today's story begins at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, North London.

The hospital began life on the Grazin Road in Central London
