Summary

This week we examine the chilling case of Michael Danaher, who tortured and brutally murdered art/book dealer Adrian Greenwood in April 2016, before posing for a selfie revealing his blood-soaked beard immediately after the attack.  We look at his motivation to kill and how Danaher clinically plotted future crimes by compiling an excel spreadsheet detailing a list of potential celebrity victims.

with the blood of his victim.
