Summary

2020 was a dark year for all of us, with the COVID pandemic in full force, but for two Midlands families in particular, and the lives of so many others, 2020 holds an extra dark reminder for them. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, I bring you an account of the terrifying rampage of an individual who, had he not been stopped when he was, would undoubtedly have caused much more carnage.

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving crimes against children, references of a sexual nature and with disturbing descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.
