Summary

In the third episode of British Murders Season 3, I tell the story of Phillip Austin.

Austin completed a full family annihilation when he murdered his wife (Claire), children (Kieren & Jade) and dogs (Dandy & Sooty) on July 10, 2000.

Austin initially had an argument with Claire about booking a holiday, and after killing her, decided to do the same with the rest of his family.

He was handed three concurrent life sentences in March 2001, with a minimum term to serve of 20 years in prison.

0:00.0	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
0:21.1	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
0:36.3	ones. The bite-sized presentation of this podcast is intentional, as we look to cover an overview of
0:42.5	the respective timelines of each case succinctly.
0:51.8	Hello again, and welcome to another episode of British Murders.
0:55.5	I am your host, Stuart Blues, and this is now the third episode of season 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3.
1:02.7	I've received some lovely feedback so far with regards to the slightly new style and format of the show.
1:09.3	To reiterate, each episode is filmed and available to
1:12.4	watch in full on the show's YouTube channel. I appreciate some people do still listen to this
1:17.3	on an audio only format, but I'm trying to keep it so it's listenable on the audio format,
1:23.8	but also a little bit more engaging if you are to watch it on YouTube. Please let me know if you
1:28.1	are still enjoying this on audio only. I would like to hear some feedback. I'd also like to give a quick
1:33.1	shout out to my mate Robbie Robertson, who hosts Out of the Blank, which is a podcast, which is just
1:38.8	conversation. I've been on there a couple of times. I'm due to go on again soon. I'm wearing one of his excellent merch t-shirts now. If you can't see that because my mic is in the way, it's sort of,
1:49.8	and for the benefit of the audio listeners as well, it kind of shows a coy carp in a kind of epic
1:56.4	Pokemon-style death battle with kind of a fire-breathing bird of sorts. I don't think it's a
2:03.6	phoenix, but it's a cool battle, it's cool artwork. Apparently it was done by a tattoo artist. That's
2:08.3	why it's so cool. I just thought I'd wear it for the show. Seeing as I film my episodes now,
2:13.9	if anyone does want to send me a t-shirt to wear, whether it's for a podcast or a band or
	...
