Summary

I tell the story of Tony Jasinskyj and Marion Crofts in this episode.


Tony sexually assaulted and murdered 14-year-old Marion Crofts on June 6, 1981.


Marion was cycling to band practice before being attacked by Tony, a Lance Corporal in the British Army stationed at Browning Barracks in Aldershot at the time of the murder.


The case is notable for the 21-year delay in justice before Tony was found guilty as a result of advances in DNA testing.


He was sentenced to life imprisonment in May 2002.

Welcome to British murders, a true crime podcast with a focus on British murder cases.

0:17.7

My name's Stuart Blues, and I'm excited for you to join me on this journey of

morbid discovery. I'm by no means an expert on the subjects of homicide and serial killers.

0:26.8

However, I have always had a sick fascination with them. Together, we will learn about some of the

0:31.9

lesser-known British murderers, as well as glimpsing occasionally at some of the more notorious

ones. The bite-sized presentation of this podcast is intentional,

0:40.8

as we look to cover an overview of the respective timelines of each case succinctly.

The setting for this episode of British murders is Aldershot, located in southeast England.

0:59.1

It's situated roughly 40 miles southwest of London.

1:04.5

Aldershot became the main centre of the British Army within the United Kingdom in 1854.

1:27.3

ocean separating England's

1:29.4

southern coast from France's northern coast. It is a major route for passenger and freight

1:36.1

traffic, with hundreds of water vessels traversing the Strait of Dover each day. Aldershot is known

1:43.0

as the home of the British Army, and there are plenty of signs on your

1:46.7

way into the town that says as much. The residents are understandably proud of their town's history

and significance to the UK Armed Forces. Towards the north of Aldershot, on the very edge of the border

between it and neighbouring town Farnborough, lies Aldershot, on the very edge of the border between it and neighbouring
