Summary

In this episode, I tell the story of Joanne Nelson, a 22-year-old woman murdered in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, in February 2005.

Joanne and her fiancée, Paul Dyson, lived together in Hotham Road North, Hull, but Dyson had a dark secret that Joanne was oblivious to.

Not only did Dyson have previous criminal convictions, including the assault of his ex-wife on their wedding night, but he also idolised his dad, Peter Dyson, who had a murder conviction against his name.

On or around Valentine's Day in 2005, Dyson strangled Joanne to death with his bare hands after arguing about household chores. He then drove 45 miles north to the village of Brandsby, where he dumped her body.

Reporting Joanne as missing and even taking part in a TV appeal, which included a display of "crocodile tears", Dyson was eventually caught and pleaded guilty to her murder on the first day of his trial in November 2005.

Judge Tom Cracknell handed him a life sentence with a minimum term of 16 years, and in early 2022, Dyson was released from prison as a free man.
