British Murders with Stuart Blues

In this interview episode, I’m joined by author, crime historian, broadcaster and keynote speaker N. Leigh Hunt. A member of the American Society of Criminology, Nick is regarded as an expert on mass shootings and school attacks. He was recognised at the inaugural True Crime Awards with a Highly Commended Award in the Best New Crime Author category for his book 𝘐 𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴 - the true story behind America’s first modern school shooting. Nick also wanted to use this platform to raise awareness about the tragic case of Leah Croucher - a 19-year-old woman who vanished on her way to work in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, in February 2019. The man believed responsible, Neil Maxwell, took his own life two months later, denying Leah’s loved ones the justice they deserved. Further resources from N.

In February 1994, a night out in Manchester ended in tragedy when 21-year-old Jason Comerford was fatally stabbed as he made his way home. Despite hundreds of witness interviews, a Crimewatch appeal and a major investigation, the case went cold - and Jason’s family were left without answers for decades. It would take breakthroughs in forensic science, the dogged persistence of detectives and an extraordinary battle against the justice system itself before Jason’s killer was finally unmasked. But by the time the truth came out, it was too late for those who had fought hardest to see justice done.

In March 2010, the small Yorkshire village of Melsonby awoke to the kind of horror rarely seen outside the pages of crime fiction. 40-year-old Diana Garbutt was found bludgeoned to death in her bed, and within minutes, a robbery was reported at the village Post Office just downstairs. The timeline made little sense, and the evidence raised more questions than answers. What followed was a trial full of contradictions, a marriage laid bare and a community left divided. But over a decade later, some believe the real story has yet to be told - and that the justice system may have gotten it very, very wrong.

In April 2019, the quiet Welsh island of Anglesey was rocked by a crime so bizarre and brutal it seemed almost fictional. 74-year-old Gerald Corrigan was outside his remote coastal home when he was struck by a single crossbow bolt - a weapon more associated with medieval warfare than modern-day Wales. What initially appeared to be a tragic accident quickly unraveled into something far more chilling. Behind the peaceful setting lay a tangled web of deception, secrecy and calculated violence - and Gerald was caught right in the middle of it.

In November 1976, 36-year-old Renee MacRae and her 3-year-old son Andrew vanished without a trace after leaving their Inverness home for what was meant to be a weekend away. What followed was one of the most baffling missing persons cases Scotland has ever seen - a case with no suspects, no evidence and no answers for over four decades. When I first began researching this one, I knew nothing about it. What unfolded before my eyes as I dug deeper left me stunned. Layer by layer, the truth began to surface, and by the time it did, the damage had already been done.

In 2011, 19-year-old Nikkita Grender was just weeks away from becoming a mother when her life was cut short in the most horrifying way. A fire tore through her Newport flat in the early hours of February 5, and as the smoke cleared, a darker truth emerged - one that pointed to someone close to home. What seemed like a tragic accident was something far more sinister, leaving a community in shock and a family searching for justice. This story is genuinely one of the most heartbreaking and disturbing I’ve ever researched in my four-plus years as a true crime podcaster. My sincerest condolences go to Paul, Marcia, and Luke. For a deeper understanding of this tragic case, I highly recommend you read Nikitta: A Mother’s Story by Marcia Grender, released in February 2016.

In February 2001, 67-year-old Alf Wilkins was killed in a fire deliberately set inside his Grimsby flat. But this wasn’t a random act of violence - it was the culmination of months of torment at the hands of his own neighbours. Despite being acquitted of an indecent assault charge in November 2000, Alf remained a target. The locals refused to believe his innocence, fueled by the hysteria of the News of the World's infamous 'name-and-shame' campaign. Branded as something he was not, Alf was harassed, threatened, and ultimately, his life was taken in an act of brutal, misplaced vigilante justice.

The American brothers are a duo with a unique skill set - Brian, an English professor and Cameron, a police officer - who joined forces to crack one of North Carolina’s most infamous cold cases. On April 15, 1973, 19-year-old Virginia Olson’s body was discovered near the University of North Carolina-Asheville, sparking a decades-long investigation filled with twists, dead ends and chilling theories. For 50 years, law enforcement pursued the truth, sifting through connections to other crimes and a notorious serial killer.

In September 2003, 17-year-old Shafilea Ahmed vanished from her home in Warrington, Cheshire, leaving behind a worrying trail of unanswered questions. A bright and ambitious student, she had dreams of independence, but those dreams clashed with the expectations placed upon her by her family. For years, her disappearance remained a mystery, until a shocking revelation finally exposed the horrifying truth. What really happened to Shafilea that night? And why did it take nearly a decade for justice to be served? By covering Shafilea's story, I hope to raise awareness of the devastating reality of so-called "honour-based" abuse and the urgent need to challenge it.

In December 1994, 33-year-old Dr Michael Meenaghan was in his kitchen making a cup of tea when a single shotgun suddenly tore through his window, striking him in the chest. He somehow managed to dial 999 but collapsed before he could say a word. When officers arrived, they found him slumped on the floor, the phone still hanging off the hook, surrounded by a pool of his own blood. Over 30 years later, his murder remains a complete mystery. No weapon, no suspects, and no clear motive - just one chilling question: Who wanted Dr Meenaghan dead, and why?

When Robert Wilson went to work at the Thornton & Ross pharmaceutical plant in Linthwaite, Huddersfield on the evening of January 16, 2020, he had no idea that he would never return home. The 53-year-old was carrying out a routine security check when he confronted two teenagers trespassing on the premises. What followed was a frenzied and senseless attack, in which Robert was subjected to an act of unimaginable violence. This harrowing case serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of knife crime and the dangers posed by individuals willing to commit acts of extreme violence.

The case sent shockwaves through the community, but as the years passed with no arrests, it seemed justice might never come. Then, four years later, a shocking revelation turned the investigation on its head.

In March 2007, 71-year-old Hilda Brown was found dead in her home, the victim of a brutal attack. Her neighbour, who had positioned himself as her trusted helper, soon fell under suspicion, but the case was anything but straightforward. Just two days before her murder, Hilda had signed a new will, making him the sole beneficiary. What first appeared to be an act of kindness quickly unraveled into something far more sinister, leading to not one, but two trials before justice was finally served.

When Nicole Waterhouse and Karen Browne attended a dating event in York, they couldn’t have known that one of the men they met would soon change their lives forever. Jeremy Green, an ex-Army officer with a dishonorable discharge, went on a couple of dates with Karen before reappearing unexpectedly at the two women’s flat in October 2013 under a seemingly innocent pretense. His true intentions, however, were anything but harmless. What followed was a brutal and prolonged assault that left Nicole dead and Karen forever scarred, both physically and emotionally. This harrowing case serves as a chilling reminder that the capacity for violence can be hidden beneath a seemingly innocent façade.

In April 1968, 14-year-old Roy Tutill vanished on his way home from school, a route he often travelled by hitch-hiking. Three days later, his lifeless body was discovered, sparking an investigation that would span decades.

Then, in 2001, a breakthrough came when advances in DNA technology linked his killer to the crime - 33 years after the fact. The match was triggered by a chance arrest for drink-driving in 1999, unravelling a secret that had evaded detection for many years and finally bringing closure to one of Britain’s most heartbreaking cold cases.

In 2004, the shocking murder of award-winning showjumper Tania Moore shattered the quiet community of Ashbourne. Tania, a popular and ambitious woman with a bright future, was driving home from work when her life was cruelly taken in a cold-blooded ambush by someone she had once trusted deeply - her ex-fiancé. For over a year leading up to her murder, Tania endured relentless abuse at the hands of her ex, including an orchestrated assault and robbery.

In 1998, the brutal murder of 11-year-old Wesley Neailey sent shockwaves through Newcastle and the entire nation. Wesley was a friendly and happy boy who trusted people easily, but that trust was cruelly exploited when he was lured away by someone he'd recently come into contact with. The person responsible for his death preyed on Wesley’s innocence, cutting his young life short in a horrifying act of violence. The murder not only devastated his family, but also exposed deeply concerning loopholes in the British legal system.

I welcome true crime writer, researcher and analyst Sarah Bax Horton to the show in this interview episode to discuss her new book 'Arm of Eve: Investigating the Thames Torso Killer'. Jack the Ripper is often called the world’s most notorious unidentified killer, but he was not the first modern serial killer on the streets of London. Before him was another murderer who hunted from the River Thames – one arguably more sadistic and mercurial. The Thames Torso Killer has always lurked in the Ripper’s shadow, despite the fact he murdered and dismembered at least four people over two years. He started to kill in 1887, over a year before the Ripper, and his last murder was in 1889, almost ten months after the death of Mary Jane Kelly, the Ripper’s last victim. In Arm of Eve, Sarah conducts her own investigation and uses modern criminal profiling to come up with her own suspect – a known criminal who knew the Thames like the back of his hand.

In April 1990, one of the most notorious and violent prison uprisings in British history erupted at Strangeways Prison in Manchester. What began as a protest quickly spiralled into a full-blown riot, as prisoners seized control of the facility, venting their anger over brutal conditions and overcrowding. For 25 days, the world watched in shock as inmates set fires, battled guards, and took to the roof in defiance. The uprising left one inmate and prison officer dead, hundreds injured, and the prison in ruins, forcing a nationwide re-examination of the UK prison system. **This episode features Megan and Neil from Mortal Musings telling me (and you) the story of the riot.

Nicole Duke was the kind of teenager every parent hopes for - trustworthy, responsible, and well-behaved. She had never caused her parents any trouble, but on Christmas Eve 1975, after a rare request to stay out late, Nicole never came home. That night, she had attended a disco in Eastbourne, where she was last seen in the company of a boy, with whom she shared a kiss. Hours later, on Christmas Morning, her lifeless body was discovered in a seaside shelter along the promenade. Nicole had been sexually assaulted and murdered, but a crucial clue, a broken neck chain found at the scene, led investigators to the killer just two days later. This story is one of the most shocking crimes the town has ever seen, yet it has been criminally underreported.

Eve Stratford seemed to have it all - a promising modelling career, a rock star boyfriend, and a future full of possibilities. But on a cold March day in 1975, her life was brutally cut short when an unknown attacker took everything from her in her own home. Just six months later, 16-year-old Lynne Weedon, rushing to beat curfew after a night with friends, took a fateful shortcut through a dark alley. She never made it home. Ambushed, assaulted, and left for dead, her case has remained unsolved for decades. For nearly 30 years, these two horrific crimes remained unconnected, until a revolutionary DNA discovery in 2004 linked their fates. Their killer is still at large, and the mystery remains, but one undeniable truth binds them together in a way neither could have imagined.
