Shattered Dreams: Episode 347

Harry and Megan Tooze lived on a remote farm in the Vale of Glamorgan and enjoyed a quiet, private retirement. But one day in the summer of 1993, that life was shattered as both were killed in what was described as a "brutal, macabre execution". In this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, I ask just who killed the couple? And why?Referenced siteswww.uktruecrime.comwww.patreon.com/uktruecrimehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrimeSourceshttps://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/shocking-execution-style-shootings-elderly-15513527http://www.unsolved-murders.co.uk/murder-content.php?key=31&termRef=Harry%20Toozehttps://www.irishtimes.com/news/murder-conviction-quashed-1.43324http://www.homepage-link.to/justice/Jones/index.htmhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-23459713 Hosted on Acast.

Living close to your neighbours is not always easy. We can't choose who lives near us and we can sometimes not particularly like how they choose to live their lives. When Alison Morrison and her family moved to Harrow in north-west London there were problems immediately with her neighbour Trevor Gibbon, who moaned about the noise her son made skateboarding. But nobody could have predicted the shocking conclusion to this neighbours dispute.Referenced siteswww.uktruecrime.comwww.patreon.com/uktruecrimehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrimeSourceshttps://www.harrowtimes.co.uk/news/13361145.murderer-trevor-gibbon-jailed-for-life-at-old-bailey-for-merciless-attack-on-defenceless-charity-worker-alison-morrison/https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/28-years-jail-for-man-who-stabbed-a-mother-to-death-in-three-year-neighbour-war-10354864.htmlhttps://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/r-v-gibbon-sentencing.pdfhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/woman-stabbed-to-death-over-noise-dispute-with-her-neighbour-10321897.htmlhttps://metro.co.uk/2015/06/25/man-found-guilty-of-stabbing-mother-of-one-33-times-over-a-neighbour-dispute-5266227/https://www.mentalhealthforum.net/forum/threads/mental-health-news-this-week.116058/https://www.pressreader.com/uk/daily-star/20150701/281694023436330https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-33324781 Hosted on Acast.
