Murder in the South-West: Episode 342
In the early hours of the morning, in Central Park in Plymouth, the bodies of Terry Sweet and Bernie Hawken were discovered lying just 200 yards apart in the park and it was clear that both had suffered a violent assault.
Sadly, soon after the police arrived, Terry died from his injuries, aged just 64. Miraculously, Bernie survived the horrific attack, but his injuries were so severe that he spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
Just who had attacked these two men? And why?

Studying Murder. Part 2/2: Episode 341
Last week on the UK true Crime podcast, I covered the murder of Suzanne Blamires who was killed by Stephen Griffiths in Bradford.
Detectives linked this murder to other local missing people, including Susan Rushworth and Shelley Armitage.
In this concluding episode, I look at how Griffiths admitted murdering Susan and Shelley, and examine other unsolved murders where Griffiths may have been responsible.

Studying Murder. Part 1/2. Episode 340.
On the Friday, Suzanne Blamires went missing from her housing association home in the Allerton district of Bradford. Her family were immediately concerned for her welfare, but for the police Suzanne – or Amber as she was known on the streets - was a sex worker with a heroin habit and in a life that was often chaotic, they had little to go on.
And by Monday Suzanne still hadn’t been found. But that morning, as the caretaker of a block of flats in Bradford watched his CCTV of the weekends activity, he saw to his horror Suzanne being brutally attacked....

The Lorry driver: Episode 339
This week, the Uk true crime podcast comes from the north-east of England, just by Durham.
The A1 (M) is a busy motorway, and at 6.17pm on a summers day there were a few issues northbound due to an earlier fuel spillage.
As the traffic slowed, none of the people in their cars patiently heading towards their destinations could have imagined that a 3.5 tonne lorry would not stop, and plough into the traffic, with terrible consequences.
