Whitechapel, East London. Famous among many True Crime fans for the Jack the Ripper Murders where women on the very fringes of society were incredibly vulnerable to a murderer like Jack. In our modern-day story today, two women at the very edge of modern society - one selling sex, one selling counterfeit DVDs -  go missing from the streets of Whitechapel within weeks of each other.

It was a dark, winters morning as the 10 men group carried out maintenance on the railway line near Tebay. The men wore their safety helmets to block out the noise of their machinery and there was no look-out as the line was closed in both directions. So when the 20 tonne wagon came hurtling down the track towards them at 40 miles per hour it was completely unexpected. As one fellow worker put it, "This was the worst nightmare for any rail man - an un-manned wagon coming straight at you out of the pitch darkness." Four men were killed instantly that morning and others injured in the tragedy. Today, I tell their story.Sourceshttps://www.constructionnews.co.uk/archive/tebay-tragedy-court-session-24-03-2005/https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/5856470.rail-tragedy-victim-had-made-complaint/https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/7155039.sabotaged-rail-wagon-killed-four-court-told/https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/he-cut-costs-four-men-died-574429http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/4816206.stmhttps://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/you-never-said-sorry-greedy-2897271https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/4886375https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/7000299.rail-men-killed-20-tonnes-death/https://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/news/675301.tebay-rail-workers-deny-manslaughter/https://www.commercialmotor.com/news/compliance/man-convicted-manslaughter-refused-o-licence?page=6https://morningstaronline.co.uk/a-b665-rail-union-marks-loss-of-workers-at-tebay-1https://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/news/709471.tebay-rail-disaster-pair-jailed/https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/cowboy-operator-rhyl-convicted-manslaughter-12426689https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/rail-contractor-blamed-everyone-himself-2900167#http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/4802584.stm Hosted on Acast.

Harry was found downstairs in the utility room. He had been shot once, through the back, piercing his heart and killing him almost instantly. Nicola was upstairs in the main bedroom. She had been shot 4 times, three times down stairs, and a further shot as she had made her way into the bedroom, presumably to escape.
