The two brothers from Inverness had no respect for the law and had always been linked with trouble. But as they matured and the nature of the offences got worse, would they learn their lessons? In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast we find that one hadn't, and in the end he was facing trial for the most serious crime of all - murder....Referenced siteswww.uktruecrime.comwww.patreon.com/uktruecrimehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrimeSourceshttps://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/inverness/1765631/inverness-killer-who-murdered-disabled-man-in-horror-blaze-jailed/https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/evil-killer-set-disabled-inverness-16262609https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/inverness/1571769/inverness-fire-starter-stands-trail-for-murder/https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/evil-killer-set-disabled-inverness-16262609https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-48540537https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/trendingacrossscotland/17686267.killer-ryan-brandie-who-murdered-disabled-man-in-horror-fire-jailed-for-19-years/https://menafn.com/qn_news_story_s.aspx?storyid=1096947992&title=UK-man-faces-murder-charges-after-blazehttps://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/inverness/1488716/man-accused-of-murder-after-fire-death-in-inverness/https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/inverness/1765631/inverness-killer-who-murdered-disabled-man-in-horror-blaze-jailed/https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/inverness/1346840/invct1-2/https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/inverness/1698803/disturbance-in-inverness-block-of-flats-led-to-police-following-trail-of-blood-to-one-of-the-participants/https://www.facebook.com/HighlandIslandsPoliceDivision/photos/police-scotland-can-confirm-that-a-man-has-been-charged-in-connection-with-the-d/10155318263560824/https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/inverness/1765631/inverness-killer-who-murdered-disabled-man-in-horror-blaze-jailed/https://www.scotland.police.uk/whats-happening/news/2019/june/ryan-brandie-inverness-murderhttps://twnews.nl/gb-news/thug-who-murdered-disabled-coatbridge-man-in-horror-arson-attack-sent-to-prisonhttps://www.ladbible.com/news/uk-weird-shocked-golfers-find-topless-man-having-sex-with-ninth-hole-20180403https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/highlands/1116104/cctv-footage-captures-moment-brothers-broke-highland-hotel-chased-landlord/https://www.pressreader.com/uk/the-press-and-journal-inverness-highlands-and-islands/20160112/281741268412995https://news.stv.tv/highlands-islands/1438277-killer-murdered-disabled-man-by-setting-fire-to-his-flat?topwww.facebook.comhttps://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/trendingacrossscotland/17686267.killer-ryan-brandie-who-murdered-disabled-man-in-horror-fire-jailed-for-19-years/ Hosted on Acast.

In our celebrity culture, how we look has never been more important. Some people go to amazing lengths to achieve the look they want, but other 'normal' people - like you or me - take products to help them reach their goals.In today's episode of the UK True Crime podcast, we look at what can happen when we are unaware of exactly what we are taking. And who profits from this - as there is no doubt that someone also profits from the misery caused.Referenced siteswww.uktruecrime.comwww.patreon.com/uktruecrimehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrimeSourceshttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-24074836https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4735942/Young-woman-died-taking-diet-pills.htmlhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-33419917https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-20016068https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2684903/Bodybuilder-collapsed-died-told-drink-industrial-pesticide-lose-weight-making-temperature-soar-42C.htmlhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-33677629https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-28704889https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-28213513https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/jul/08/man-killed-herbicide-weight-loss-aid-court-hearshttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3139153/Gym-boss-supplied-weight-loss-chemical-killed-bodybuilder-ran-illegal-steroid-selling-business.htmlhttps://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/bodybuilder-died-after-drinking-weedkiller-4357187https://www.mix96.co.uk/news/local/1665026/two-convicted-after-gym-goer-killed-by-lethal-steroid/https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/female-powerlifting-champion-jailed-after-4485636https://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/13501556.men-who-helped-run-steroid-business-are-jailed-after-death-of-wycombe-man/https://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/10672497.four-charged-over-gym-drug-death/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3067951/Global-alert-killer-diet-pills-Interpol-issue-warning-deaths-six-Britons.htmlhttps://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/aug/11/two-cleared-manslaughter-sean-cleathero-died-weedkiller-slimminghttps://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/9997865.family-pays-tribute-to-man-who-died-after-taking-gym-drug/https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/647184/First-arrest-after-raids-over-toxic-diet-pill-linked-to-5-deaths-including-student-21/amphttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/wellbeing/diet/11551680/The-diet-pill-victims-killed-by-their-quest-for-a-better-figure.htmlhttps://www.irishmirror.ie/news/world-news/female-powerlifting-champion-jailed-after-4485636https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/uk/man-dies-after-taking-gym-drug-28876078.htmlhttps://www.planningforcare.co.uk/bodybuilder-collapsed-and-died-after-being-told-to-drink-industrial-pesticide-to-lose-weight-making-his-temperature-soar-to-42c/https://old.buckscc.gov.uk/news/2015/november/trading-standards-campaign-warns-of-dnp-dangers/http://www.bucksherald.co.uk/news/more-news/pair-jailed-for-supplying-steroids-to-gym-goer-who-took-lethal-cocktail-1-6871804https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/news/858457/diet-pills-likened-to-rat-poison-by-coroner-as-they-claim-another-life/https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/deadly-diet-pills-costing-just-6002422https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/police-hunt-supplier-of-poison-diet-pills-that-killed-teen-rugby-star-8818843.htmlhttps://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/jan/14/dnp-victims-families-fat-burning-drug-reclassifyhttps://www.itv.com/news/update/2014-08-11/pair-acquitted-of-weedkiller-manslaughter/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7x0hQildikhttps://www.thefreelibrary.com/%27Diet+pills%27+share+deadly+past+with+wartime+shells%3b+Double+danger+of...-a0411583720https://www.church-papers.com/lethal-dnp-diet-pills-still-on-sale-despite-crackdown-bbc-finds-bbc-news/https://www.elitedaily.com/life/sad-truth-about-diet-pills/1038336https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/10022925/The-deadly-trail-of-the-killer-slimming-drug-DNP.htmlhttps://www.facebook.com/sean.cleathero.7 Hosted on Acast.

Deptford sits on the River Thames in South-East London. It is a bustling place - well, normally - and was home to 69 year old Noel Brown. When he didn't answer his phone for a couple of days his daughter, Marie, went to his home to see what was wrong. But then she also didn't answer calls from her daughter. Why?In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I examine just what happened in Deptford in December 2017.Referenced siteswww.uktruecrime.comwww.patreon.com/uktruecrimehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrimeSourceshttps://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/marie-brown-noel-brown-case-deptford/https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/nathaniel-henry-noel-brown-murder-inquest-peckham/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deptfordhttps://www.mylondon.news/news/south-london-news/man-suspected-murdering-sex-offender-17168768https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7681559/Mother-strangled-death-walked-murderer-dismembering-fathers-corpse.htmlhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5155175/Killer-lain-wait-daughter.htmlhttps://blacgoss.com/deptford-double-murder-victim-noel-brown-was-killed-in-retribution/https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/peckham-marie-brown-noel-brown-murder/https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/may/11/police-identify-suspect-in-deptford-double-murder-inquiryhttps://metro.co.uk/2019/11/15/convicted-sex-offender-murdered-and-dismembered-in-act-of-revenge-11165354/https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/958666/nathaniel-henry-found-dead-cupboard-murder-suspect-sex-offender-daughter-vigilante Hosted on Acast.

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?

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.
