The Crime Roundup: October 2025

The Crime Roundup: October 2025

In this final episode of The Crime Roundup, Adam and I reflect on our journey together while discussing various true crime cases. We delve into the tragic story of Jamie Lucas, the cycle of domestic abuse highlighted by a recent murder case, and the sentencing of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy for corruption. Our conversation also touches on the murder of Ian Watkins, the bizarre discovery of a crocodile in Derbyshire, and the disturbing case of a woman locked away in her bedroom for 27 years. Throughout the episode, we explore the impact of social media on crime reporting and the justice system.
