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?Writing Credit: Megan Grant.

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.

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....Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comBuy my book 'Gone Fishing' about serial killer Angus Sinclairhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Gone-Fishing-Unsolved-Crimes-Sinclair/dp/1914277201Bloodhound GinPlease head to persiedistillery.com/uktc to find about more about UK True Crime Bloodhound Gin.

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.Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comBuy my book 'Gone Fishing' about serial killer Angus Sinclairhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Gone-Fishing-Unsolved-Crimes-Sinclair/dp/1914277201Bloodhound GinPlease head to persiedistillery.com/uktc to find about more about UK True Crime Bloodhound Gin.

The local pub near Cambridge were hosting a Halloween party. Chris and Rebecca West weren't planning to go, they fancied a quiet night in watching TV with a takeaway. A number of their friends were there and having a great time so they decided to go and it was a fantastic night. But everything changed after a game of pool, when it turned out that one man in that pub was carrying a knife, and shockingly, he was happy to use it.....Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comBuy my book 'Gone Fishing' about serial killer Angus Sinclairhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Gone-Fishing-Unsolved-Crimes-Sinclair/dp/1914277201Bloodhound GinPlease head to persiedistillery.com/uktc to find about more about UK True Crime Bloodhound Gin.

The international crime gang had planned everything, covered every detail.And as 33 year old Andrew Cole stood on the deck, he realised that his whole life depended on what happened in the next few hours. Andrew was listed as crew on the manifest, but his role was a very clear one – it was up to him to ensure the safe receipt, passage and transfer of the cocaine to a crew who were going to come out from the UK to take delivery of it near the English Channel. But as the Kahu reached the end of its journey from Barbados as it cruised past Guernsey, Andrew thought he heard a noise – or was it just his imagination playing tricks on him? He then clearly saw two vessels approach and to his horror he realised that is was the 42 metre Border Force cutter ‘Searcher’ along with the 19 metre coastal patrol vessel ‘Alert’. The gang had been rumbled....Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comBloodhound GinPlease head to persiedistillery.com/uktc to find about more about UK True Crime Bloodhound Gin.
