BURNED ALIVE FOR WANTING LOVE? The Horrific Case of Suzanne Capper [GRAPHIC] | Manchester True Crime Stories

BURNED ALIVE FOR WANTING LOVE? The Horrific Case of Suzanne Capper [GRAPHIC] | Manchester True Crime Stories

This week, Drew and Yergy discuss the horrific torture and murder of Suzanne Capper, which was committed in Greater Manchester, England in December of 1992. Sixteen-year-old Suzanne Jane Capper died in Withington Hospital on December 18th 1992, from multiple organ failure while in a coma arising from 80% burns after she was deliberately set on fire days prior.

Before her death, Capper related that she had previously been kidnapped and kept prisoner for seven days at a house in Moston, Manchester, where she was beaten and tortured. Suzanne was taken from the house by car, driven into the countryside and then forced out of the car virtually naked into the woods at Werneth Low where petrol was poured over her and she was set alight. The torture and murder arose from the "avenging of trivial grievances: a sexual insult, infection with pubic lice and the loss of a pink duffel coat."

Detectives conducting the inquiry said that "for sheer mindless brutality" the crime ranked alongside the torture inflicted on children by the Moors murderers. The case went to trial in November 1993, but received "comparatively little publicity" as it coincided with the trial of Robert Thompson and Jon Venables for the murder of James Bulger.

On December 17th 1993, Jean Powell, aged 26, her ex-husband Glyn Powell, aged 29, and Bernadette McNeilly, aged 24, were sentenced to life imprisonment for their parts in the murder. Jeffrey Leigh, aged 27, was jailed for twelve years for false imprisonment. Jean Powell's brother Clifford Pook, aged 18, was sentenced to fifteen years in a Young Offenders' Institution for false imprisonment and conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm. Anthony Michael Dudson, who was 16 years old at the time of the murder, was also found guilty of murder and sentenced to be detained at Her Majesty's pleasure under section 53(1) of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933.

During Suzanne's imprisonment and torture, there were several times in which bystanders could have taken action to save Suzanne's life, but all failed to do so. Suzanne's family claimed ignorance of the direness of her situation, but all had turned Suzanne away when she had come to them for help prior to her death. Unfortunately, bystander apathy mixed with a toxic cocktail of a drug filled mob mentality were Suzanne's undoing, and another young British girl was senselessly lost.

The Case of Na'Ziyah Harris

The Case of Na'Ziyah Harris

This week, Drewby and Yergy head back over to Detroit to discuss a case that's been heavily requested here in 2025, and that's the case of 13-year-old Na'Ziyah Harris. Na'Ziyah was a beautiful little girl who was failed by quite literally all of the adults in her life. This led her directly into the path of Jarvis Butts, a 42-year-old known child predator. As of the date of release in May of 2025, Na'Ziyah has never been found, but is believed to be deceased. The only suspect? Jarvis Butts.  ⭐If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of Na’Ziyah Harris, please contact the Detroit Police Department’s Major Crimes Division at 313-596-2260 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.

The Case of Axel Rudakubana

This week, Drewby and Yergy head back across the pond to the coastal village of Banks to discuss the case of Axel Rudakubana, a teenage boy who went on a stabbing spree at a local Taylor Swift dance class. In the wake of the attack, three little girls were killed: Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe, and Alice da Silva Aguiar. In addition, riots popped up all around the UK due to the belief that Axel was a Islamic terrorist... but he wasn't.  Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine Join Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1 Instagram: miserymachinepodcast Twitter: misery_podcast Discord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM #themiserymachine #podcast #truecrime Source Material: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prevent-learning-review-southport-attack/prevent-learning-review-axel-muganwa-rudakubana-accessible https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cydvr9d0vd3t https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/20/axel-rudakubana-a-ticking-timebomb-who-murdered-three-girls-in-southport https://www.merseyside.police.uk/news/merseyside/news/2025/january-2025/axel-rudakubana-jailed-for-minimum-of-52-years/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c78w7nlwz9po https://www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/article/southport-killer-attack-axel-rudakubana-family-njrwjbv8b https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/axel-rudakubana-southport-suspect-who-b2637757.html https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg5lxke71zo https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/20/father-stopped-southport-killer-axel-rudakubana-taking-taxi-to-ex-school-days-before-attack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvWdTlK2nMo&ab_channel=MYNEWS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAkc7nnZDiY&ab_channel=Reuters https://www.wdsu.com/article/teen-charged-taylor-swift-dance-murder-not-guilty/63226082 https://www.gofundme.com/f/SouthportDanceEmergencyFund https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyj8wz8157o https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8dppdn37jvo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c990p73my48o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTgO7TcY9gs&ab_channel=TheMirror https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4glj41v30ro https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czjy9dy38e1o https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/20/axel-rudakubana-a-ticking-timebomb-who-murdered-three-girls-in-southport https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live/2024/jul/30/southport-stabbing-latest-knife-attack-children-hospital-merseyside?page=with%3Ablock-66a939738f0891104a9d9687#block-66a939738f0891104a9d9687 https://www.scotland.police.uk/what-s-happening/news/2024/august/man-arrested-and-charged-in-connection-with-assault-in-stirling/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HM_Prison_Belmarsh https://www.tiktok.com/@metrouk/video/7401910775792618784 https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1150551009349715 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOwzoTO2aCk https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Axf9TgmOuh4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5ye387OZYM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voj37gYwTyM&t=2s

The Case of Margaret Douglas

The Case of Margaret Douglas

This week, Drewby and Yergy head back to Ohio to discuss the case of 98-year-old Margaret Douglas, a widow who was still living independently in the home she shared with her late husband for decades. That was until a deranged teenager named Gavon Ramsay broke into her house to videotape her while she slept for "cheap thrills." But when she awoke, Gavon did the unthinkable. But if that wasn't horrible enough, wait until you hear about what police found on his cell phone...  Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine Join Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1 Instagram: miserymachinepodcast Twitter: misery_podcast Discord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM #themiserymachine #podcast #truecrime Source Material: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/ohio/name/margaret-douglas-obituary?id=14423152 https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/28579329/donald-harrison-douglas https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/188977937/margaret_mary-douglas https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/news/local/2018/04/10/what-happened-to-margaret-douglas/9348775007/ https://www.oxygen.com/an-unexpected-killer/crime-news/margaret-douglas-murdered-by-gavon-ramsay-for-sexual-thrill https://www.google.com/search?q=Isaiah+11%3A6+symbolism https://medium.com/@novjmohio/my-name-is-margaret-douglas-and-i-was-murdered-at-98-79087dcaeb01 https://www.change.org/p/ohio-state-senate-change-law-that-could-release-sexual-sadist-necrophile-murderer-gavon-ramsay-rapist-attempted-murderer-jacob-larosa-racist-murderer-billy-wayne-smith-and-other-dangerous-criminals? https://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/pdf_viewer/pdf_viewer.aspx?pdf=886465.pdf&subdirectory=2020-0620%5CDocketItems https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1081113130090385 https://teenkillers.org/legislation/ohio-senate-bill-256/impact-on-victims/statement-on-sb-256-from-marie-belcastros-grandson/ https://www.unitedforjoshua.org/ https://cfsy.org/ohio-passes-sb-256-banning-life-without-parole-for-children-in-the-state/ https://teenkillers.org/juvenile-lifers/offenders-cases-state/ohio-offenders/joshua-wade/ https://teenkillers.org/legislation/ohio-senate-bill-256/impact-on-victims/statement-on-sb-256-from-marie-belcastros-grandson/ https://appgateway.drc.ohio.gov/OffenderSearch/Search/Details/A760295 https://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/infinity/article_popover_share.aspx?guid=2a2adcb2-f581-4655-99dc-7d1dd8f1899e https://casetext.com/case/state-v-ramsay-13 https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/family-worries-new-law-paves-a-road-out-of-prison-for-convicted-killer-of-98-year-old-woman

The Case of Heaven Awot

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Ethiopia to discuss the horrific case of Heaven Awot, a 7-year-old girl that was sexually assaulted so severely that her spine was visible from outside of her body. In addition, we discuss TikTok's war on Heaven, her mother, and anyone who wanted justice for this little girl - as well as the disgusting "crimes of opportunity" committed against women and girls at times of war.  Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine Join Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1 Instagram: miserymachinepodcast Twitter: misery_podcast Discord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM #themiserymachine #podcast #truecrime Source Material: https://globalvoices.org/2024/09/06/the-murder-of-a-young-girl-in-ethiopia-reveals-tiktoks-content-moderation-failures/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c07edzd37zro https://standard.asl.org/33449/opinions/ethiopias-legal-system-fails-to-provide-justice/ https://www.reuters.com/article/economy/ethiopia-carries-out-rare-execution-idUSL06550887/ https://www.theadvocatesforhumanrights.org/Res/Ethiopia%20ICCPR%20Report%20Death%20Penalty%20v1.pdf https://rollinghype.com/xayne-outlanders-heaven-awot-the-story-behind-the-tribute/) https://addisfortune.news/breaking-the-cycle-of-silence/ https://addisstandard.com/rising-sexual-violence-against-women-and-girls-is-seeping-into-whats-left-of-the-ethiopian-social-fabric-without-accountability-the-worst-is-yet-to-come/ https://english.alarabiya.net/News/world/2024/08/21/rape-murder-of-seven-year-old-in-ethiopia-sparks-outrage https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-54964378 https://www.africanews.com/2024/08/19/outrage-in-ethiopia-over-sentence-for-man-who-raped-and-killed-7-year-old// https://evrimagaci.org/tpg/public-outrage-sparks-after-sentencing-of-sevenyearolds-murderer-31021?srsltid=AfmBOoopE6hQA3oVyjINf7-YFZDiFld1NLhNq091RlDkbc3-SISZCXfm https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/04/04/ethiopia-military-executes-dozens-amhara-region https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7L_27-PgrU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgqMUzQ9trQ&t=2019s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dWI9qj_t90 https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-may-13-mn-63029-story.html) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6933849.stm https://addisstandard.com/research-finds-amharic-language-used-to-evade-tiktok-moderation-bypass-hate-speech-detection/ https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.36LC88G https://www.arabnews.com/node/2595278 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9vy2x04pepo https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2025/mar/21/tigray-mekelle-coup-war-ethiopia-eritrea-assab-port-abiy-ahmed https://www.yahoo.com/news/ethiopia-eritrea-tigray-back-war-131649602.html https://addisstandard.com/un-reports-worsening-malnutrition-in-parts-of-amhara-region-as-renewed-fighting-disrupts-aid/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16b2zAyFCk/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100066467117303 https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php/?story_fbid=882744343951128&id=100066467117303&locale=en_GB https://www.linkedin.com/posts/gifty-t-mulugeta_in-memory-of-heaven-awot-newa-network-of-activity-7232467012080353280-YX5W?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAADqZomwB7SKlvMQtLEzJ-a_2ztaMjpCeOko https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bethlehemtadesse19_justiceforheaven-justiceforgbvvictims-womenrightsactivist-activity-7234590813844889603-7Z-b?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAADqZomwB7SKlvMQtLEzJ-a_2ztaMjpCeOko https://www.tiktok.com/@jordinbezabih?lang=en https://www.tiktok.com/@user1227765489064/video/7406378958956055841?q=%23JusticeforHeaven&t=1743258177602 https://www.tiktok.com/@user1227765489064/video/7406922852588375329?q=%23JusticeforHeaven&t=1743258177602 https://www.tiktok.com/@human1t.y/video/7405826738263035167?q=%23JusticeforHeaven&t=1743375539430 https://www.tiktok.com/@soul_brotha_trad2.0/video/7404527573197131038?q=%23JusticeforHeaven&t=1743375539430 https://www.tiktok.com/@zuzu_zuh/video/7404565546068495659?q=%23JusticeforHeaven&t=1743375539430 https://www.tiktok.com/@leleda/video/7405311371249962286?q=%23HeavenAwot&t=1743382490542 https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/275017896/heaven-awot https://www.change.org/p/uphold-justice-for-heaven-and-all-abused-women-in-addis-ababa https://www.change.org/p/justice-for-heaven-d47e1800-66ef-4c40-a80c-91aba9e9c940 https://www.change.org/p/justice-for-heaven-and-her-mother https://youtu.be/9k4IwNIRX6U?si=mlTqz3x-Buprgd2a https://www.change.org/p/block-mota-keranio-s-social-media-for-praising-of-child-murderer-and-rape-enabler https://culturalatlas.sbs.com.au/ethiopian-culture/ethiopian-culture-naming#:~:text=Ethiopian%20naming%20conventions%20generally%20have,in%20place%20of%20a%20surname. https://africanfeminism.com/ethiopias-war-on-women-how-gender-violence-persists-beyond-conflict/ https://www.isdglobal.org/digital_dispatches/hidden-hate-how-amharic-is-being-used-to-evade-hate-speech-detection-on-tiktok/

The Case of LaTania Carwell

The Case of LaTania Carwell

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Augusta, Georgia, to discuss the case of 16-year-old LaTania Janell Carwell - a beautiful young lady who had her whole life ahead of her. That was until her mother, Tanya, married a violent felon that she'd been corresponding with while he was still behind bars. LaTania should have been celebrating her sweet 16, but instead, she was strangled and abandoned in a shallow grave.
