Nature vs Nurture: The Jed Allen Case | Ep. 218

In May 2015, 21-year-old Jed Allen committed an act so horrifying it would rock the quiet Oxfordshire town of Didcot to its core.


For reasons known only to him, Allen brutally ended the lives of his mum, stepdad, and half-sister one fateful Saturday afternoon, before taking his own two days later.


In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, I explore one of Oxfordshire’s most shocking cases. A story involving familicide, an obsession with a comic book antihero, and an unstable childhood that leaves us asking the age-old question: are people born evil, or are they moulded that way?
