A Chain of Events (part 2/2): Episode 405

The farmer in Cumbria was confused by the noise of the truck going past the house in the early hours so went outside to investigate. Looking in the river he saw something there and as he got closer he saw it was the body of a young man lying face down in the water. And it was clear from his injuries that the young men had met a violent death....1, Buy tickets for my live shows in Glasgow and Londonhttps://www.murdermiletours.com/liveshow.html?fbclid=IwAR3usNPMWSg54cq9pEPj0S9LoNA9uZwOGFqfzy0pXAnYIirp5--u67GnmBc2, Please buy my book 'Gone Fishing' about the life and crimes of Angus Sinclairhttps://mangobooks.co.uk/products/gone-fishing3, Other referenced siteswww.patreon.com/uktruecrimehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrimewww.uktruecrime.com4, Sourceshttps://scarcity-studios.com/2021/07/11/mother-daughter-guilty-for-murder-of-lee-mcknight-in-honeytrap/https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/19298424.lee-mcknights-parents-give-evidence-murder-trial-carlisle-crown-court/https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jul/25/five-held-after-mans-body-found-in-carlisle-riverhttps://www.nwemail.co.uk/news/19422105.lee-mcknight-murder-trial-reveals-brutality-cumbrias-drugs-underworld/https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/19315228.severe-prolonged-beating-pathologist-lee-mcknights-injuries/https://cumbriacrack.com/2021/07/30/lee-mcknight-murder-full-statement-from-mum-read-out-in-court/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-58006829 Hosted on Acast.

At CrimeCon London last weekend, I had the pleasure of interviewing author Jason Wilson about his excellent new book, 'The Old Man And Me'. In front of a live audience, we chatted about why he wrote his book about growing up and living with his gangster father. The book is no nonsense and talks about the reality of crime, not the glamourised versions you hear about elsewhere, and in this interview Jason was very open about his life. I hope you enjoy and there is link to the book below.Buy your copy here:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Old-Man-thrilling-biography-understand/dp/1913406881 Hosted on Acast.
