Summary
A brutal murder in 1982 lay unsolved until early 2016.
In this episode of the weekly UK True Crime Podcast we examine the rape and murder of 17 year old Yiannoulla Yianni in Hampstead, North London. We look at the police investigation and examine the devastating impact the murder had on Yiannoulla's family.
Her killer, James Warnock was arrested for another crime 34 years later and DNA evidence was vital in securing his conviction. We look at the remarkable events surrounding his arrest and how by pleading not guilty he inflicted further anguish on Yiannoulla's family by forcing them to re-live the horrendous events in 1982.
