Summary
Between March 8, 1993, and June 15, 1993, Ireland killed 5 gay men in London.
Ireland had targeted the men, all of whom were into S&M, as he had made a new year's resolution to become a serial killer and he felt they would be easy targets.
Ireland was handed 5 life sentences on December 20, 1993, and later added to the list of prisoners serving out a whole life tariff, which meant that he would never be released from prison.
He died of natural causes at Wakefield prison on February 21, 2012.

| 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 what is now the fifth episode of British Murder Season 3. |
| 0:57.5 | We're at the halfway point now. I hope everyone is enjoying this latest season. I'm getting a lot of |
| 1:03.2 | nice feedback on YouTube, which is appreciated, and makes me think that this new style of podcast |
| 1:08.0 | is a positive one and it's been well received. |
| 1:15.6 | I'm going to do a shout out for another podcast at the end of the show for my mate Lyndon, |
| 1:18.7 | so stick around for that as I think you might like it. |
| 1:24.4 | If you're listening, bud, I do apologise, it's taken me so long to do this, but my memory is shite. |
| 1:29.0 | I've said it on last week's episode, everyone that knows me can back up about how terrible my short-term memory is. I'd use the common phrase that my memory is like that of a |
| 1:34.5 | goldfish, but contrary to popular belief, goldfish actually have a much longer memory than we |
| 1:40.4 | realize. Random fact of the day and how I said that, |
| 1:44.5 | well, I'm cracking up as you can probably hear. |
| 1:47.1 | What a stupid fact, but it's brilliant |
| 1:49.1 | because everyone thinks that they've got |
| 1:50.4 | these shit memories when they actually don't. |
| 1:53.5 | But let's move on to this week's episode. |
