Bonus Episode - 'True Crime Round-Up' August 2025

Welcome to episode eight in the series of my monthly chats with Stuart from @britishmurders. As usual, we look at crime stories that made headlines in August 2025, covering local, national, and international headlines.

This month, for the second consecutive month, Stuart decided not to choose a story related to a shark, whale or any other creature who lives in the sea. Which was nice. We covered the following:

1) Father of boy sexually assaulted on campsite saw attacker

2) Leeds paedophile Bernard Joyce finally unmasked as brave survivors speak out

3) TikTok and Instagram accused of targeting teens with suicide and self-harm content

4) Heathrow flight 'passenger from hell' vomits and 'spits wine at family' at 30,000ft

5) Faces of men who ran 'lookalike' scheme to bring migrants into the UK

6) Norwegian diving duo sentenced over thwarted $26 million cocaine import plot

7) Kidnappings and Attacks on Humanitarian Aid Convoys Endanger the Population of Suwayda

8) Cheeky Diner Tries To Avoid Paying For Meal By Releasing Rodent Into Restaurant

9) Moment thieves snatch $30,000 worth of Labubu dolls in shop break-in

Join us as we dive into these extraordinary stories in the August 2025 edition of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘙𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘱.
