This week, Tom and Ben dive deep into the life and unimaginable crimes of Jimmy Savile - a man who, in life, raised tens of millions of pounds for charity whilst captivating the hearts of a nation during his glittering career with the BBC. In death, however, this all appeared to be a front for decades of shocking abuse on the nation’s most vulnerable... Hidden in plain sight. How did Jimmy Savile manage to continually manipulate the police, press and public despite almost annual allegations? What specifically prompted Savile to abuse his fame, fortune, power and privilege in order to access societies most vulnerable? How and why were his shocking actions tolerated and covered up for such a vast period of time? And did Jimmy leave any kind of explanation or clues during his final days alive? Tune in and all will be revealed! For merch - www.icmap.storeFollow our socials: @couldmurderapodWritten & presented by Tom Norris & Ben Carter | @nozzer89 @thisiscartsProduced by Dan Lambert at Boston Sound | @bstnsndAdditional voice-over by Tom Turner Additional research by Danielle St RomaineArtwork & animation by Phil Whitton | @philwhitzOpening theme by Alfie Indra | @alfieindraFor HUNDREDS more cases (and to request your own!), visit icmap.co.uk now and sign up for free!Presented by Tom Norris & Ben CarterWritten by Ben CarterProduced by Dan J LambertEdited by Ben Bonsey Hosted on Acast.

Tom and Ben are BACK for another instalment of I Could Murder A Podcast - this week, the boys turn their attentions to the extremely dark Chris Benoit Family Murders (double-murder, suicide). Did Benoit pre-plan and coordinate the sequence of murders or did he act in a blind rage? What innocuous substances were found in Benoit and his family’s systems after the murders? Were there any warning signs or cries for help in the build up to the weekend that could have prevented this from happening? Is there any potential to the rumours that Benoit was framed? And what impact did this have on the world of professional wrestling?Tune in and all will be revealed!Follow our socials: @couldmurderapodWritten & presented by Tom Norris & Ben Carter | @nozzer89 @thisiscartsProduced by Dan Lambert at Boston Sound | @bstnsndAdditional voice-over by Tom Turner Additional research by Danielle St RomaineArtwork & animation by Phil Whitton | @philwhitzOpening theme by Alfie Indra | @alfieindraFor HUNDREDS more cases (and to request your own!), visit icmap.co.uk now and sign up for free!Presented by Tom Norris & Ben CarterWritten by Ben CarterProduced by Dan J LambertEdited by Ben Bonsey Hosted on Acast.

This week, Tom and Ben return to England in order to cover their third “whole-lifer” in the form of the deeply sinister ‘Grindr Killer’: Stephen Port. Were all of Port’s victims accidental and simply in the wrong place at the wrong time? What obvious (and numerous) red flags did East London police clearly ignore? For what reason did Port have so many different online personas? Why did Port place each of the bodies in exactly the same location and position? And just how many more victims are known to have been approached or attacked by Port?

In the penultimate episode of season two, the ICMAP boys head back to Eastern Europe in order to shine a light on a case that received global attention due to the upload of a significant viral snuff video. Tom and Ben explore the Ukrainian teenagers behind the evil and chilling gore video: “3 Guys, 1 Hammer” as well as their 20 additional slayings committed over a three week period... Igor and Viktor, ‘The Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs’. July 7th, 2007 - two 14-year-old school friends Vadim and Andrei make special efforts to wake up before sunrise in order to travel to the nearby Kil’chen River. The boys plan on spending the day at the river in order to catch fresh fish to bring home to their mothers. Without a care in the world, the boys meet and meander off into the darkness, through the silent countryside roads of Pidhorodne. As the boys make their way into a heavily wooded section of road just a few metres from the river, a green daewoo taxicab overtakes them and aggressively pulls to a halt. Two silhouettes exit the vehicle and stand in the middle of the road, motionless. The figures do not move... Nervously, the young boys try to pass, they are met with sudden and vicious force which throws them from their cycles and a frantic, frenzied attack ensues. Vadim manages to flee and spends the rest of the early morning’s darkness hiding in the nearby woods, Andrei wasn’t so lucky... The sounds of hysterical laughter and deranged exclamations pierce through the pine... along with the glare of the Daewoo's headlights. Vadim cowers in cover as Andrei is brutalised. The maniacs strike again... The attacks not only become more frequent and more heinous, but they become more documented. Known globally on gore sites as the evil behind ‘3 Guys, 1 Hammer’, the Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs continue to upload, continue to attack and continue to run free... But what drove these young boys to brutally murder 21 people in 21 days? Why did the parents continually allow the boys to “get away with murder”? What big mistake did Igor make that would lead to their demise? And was there an international syndicate who had ordered 40 snuff videos from the boys? Tune in, and all will be revealed! **Please kindly give the show a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you find us in your ears at the moment.
