On Dec 1 1996, Tracie Andrews and her fiancé Lee Harvey were driving home from an evening at the pub when they got caught up in a cat and mouse game with a couple of maniacs in another car. The road rage turned into a brutal attack and Lee Harvey died after being stabbed over 40 times; and despite also being attacked Tracie survived.
At least this was the story that Tracie told police, the press and anyone who would listen.
But it turned out that this hadn't been a random stranger attack at all, Tracie Andrews had killed her fiancé in cold blood. And the more she cried on TV, the more suspicious the nation became...

0:00.0 | Prime members, you can listen to Redhanded early and ad-free on Amazon Music. Download the app today. |
0:18.0 | Hi everyone! Before we get going this week, thank you very much because we sold out our live show in two hours. |
0:25.0 | So the lovely people at Valk Festival have given us another show. So if you missed out on tickets, the first time around you can get them now. They're on sale and the show is... when is it? |
0:37.0 | The show is on the 26th of January, which is a Saturday and we are doing the matinee show which is exciting. For people that maybe you don't live in London, you want to come down. It's at 4.30 in the afternoon. It's only an hour so you can safely get back home safely. |
0:51.0 | Like something terrible is going to happen to you. You can get back home reasonable time. Or you could just stay and get drunk with us, you know, whatever. But since they went on sale, we're recording on Sunday night. There are only now 20 tickets left for the second show. So if you want one, grab one, we'd love to see you there. |
1:06.0 | See you there! |
1:11.0 | I'm Sauruti. I'm Hannah. And welcome to Redhanded. |
1:15.0 | In December 1996, Lee Harvey, a 25-year-old man, was brutally murdered after an incident of road rage on a quiet country lane in Alvchurch, Wistership, just south of Birmingham. That night when Lee had been attacked, he hadn't been alone. His fiance, 28-year-old Tracy Andrews, had been with him. |
1:32.0 | Tracy claimed that they had been chased in a cat and mouse game by a stranger in another car and eventually the pursuit had culminated in a violent confrontation during which Lee Harvey was stabbed over 40 times. |
1:44.0 | This murder happened. It was front page news for months, especially because the idea of road rage was relatively new in the UK. The thought that people could just lose it and kill another person over some perceived slight on the roads was pretty unbelievable to most people. But, as crazy as it was for people to get their heads around, it was also increasingly in the public eye. |
2:07.0 | As there had actually been a sharp rise of the phenomenon during the 90s here in the UK, I don't think I've ever seen an instance of road rage. |
2:14.0 | Not properly. Yes, actually, when I'm like, actually more, when I'm not been in this country. Like in Asia, you see a lot of road rage. There's a lot of road rage. |
2:24.0 | Yeah, there's plenty of that. Everyone just loves beeping their horns, everyone loves yelling at each other. People love getting out and fighting. When I go to India, I'm like, fuck it out. Can we just take it down a notch? |
2:36.0 | I read that here, you only ever beat your horn if someone's done something wrong. Whereas in other countries, it's more to do with making people aware that you're there. |
2:46.0 | Yeah, yeah. And like frustration, making people you're aware you're there just because you like hearing loud noises. And it makes you feel big. I don't know. I don't drive, so I have no idea. |
2:58.0 | Yeah, I'm not really there. The only time I've ever ever got out of my car to speak to someone is someone went into the back of me around about in Watford. |
3:05.0 | Oh, so I did pull in to speak to me. It was fine. He just cracked a light and it was a really old car. So it wasn't important. He was driving like a school mini van. |
3:15.0 | So I was like, if I report this, you're probably going to lose your job. So just please don't worry about it on my 15 year old K.A. |
3:22.0 | Very responsible of you, Hannah. Very socially responsible of you. I felt very socially responsible that day. |
3:27.0 | No, I have to say you were quite brimming with road rage when we were driving around Romania. |
3:32.0 | That is so wildly unfair. Are you serious? What road rage just dressed? |
3:40.0 | You said to me last week, how are you going to look me in the face and lie to me like that? That you weren't filled to the brim with road rage and I was not. |
