Summary
After months (and even years) of research, I'm proud to announce the new series coming to Murder Mile, it's titled The Soho Strangler; a little known series of murders as infamous (in its day) as Jack the Ripper itself. And yet, barely eighteen months after the killing spree, it was almost entirely forgotten.
Told for the very first time, The Soho Strangler is an investigation into Britain's long-forgotten serial killer using the original declassified court records and police investigation files, as we delve into the seedier side of Soho, and enter a world of drugs, sex, white slavery and murder.
The Soho Strangler starts on Thursday 9th February 2023, or a few days earlier via Patreon.
