British Murders with Stuart Blues

In this mid-season episode, I'm joined by Zevon Odelberg of Kinda Murdery, who will tell me (and you) the story of Hawley Harvey Crippen.Dr Crippen, or Dr Devil's Breath, was an American homoeopath charged with murdering his wife, Cora "Belle" Crippen, in London in 1910.Scotland Yard found the torso of a human body at Crippen's house in Holloway, and it was identified as Cora's, despite it being headless, limbless and boneless.Crippen was hanged for the murder on November 23, 1910, but a recent case review shows that mitochondrial DNA confirms that the remains were not those of Cora Crippen.The Court of Appeal refused to hear the case to pardon Crippen posthumously.Zevon also discusses the 2019 murder of Adrian Murphy by Joel Osei and Diana Cristea.If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.UK-based listeners can call 116 123 for free (Samaritans)USA-based listeners can call or text 988 (the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, formerly the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline)You can find and support 'Kinda Murdery' here:Facebook | Kinda MurderyInstagram | @kindamurderyTikTok | @kindamurderyTwitter | @KindaMurderyFor all things British Murders, please visit my website:https://www.britishmurders.com/Intro music:David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet'https://linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusicMy recording equipment:Shure SM7B Vocal MicrophoneCloud Microphone Cloudlifter CL1Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio InterfaceRode PSA-1 Professional Studio Boom ArmRecorded using:ZencastrEdited in:Hindenberg PRO Learn more about your ad choices.

Still, in April 2006, judges at the Court of Appeal rejected his claim that his conviction was unsafe.Some people suspect Shillibier of having murdered 25-year-old Melanie Hall in June 1996 and 45-year-old Kevin Muhyiddin in February 1997, though he has not been found guilty of either murder.⁣⁣For all things British Murders, please visit my website:⁣https://www.britishmurders.com/⁣Intro music:⁣David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet'⁣https://linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusic⁣My recording equipment:⁣Shure SM7B Vocal MicrophoneCloud Microphone Cloudlifter CL1Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio InterfaceRode PSA-1 Professional Studio Boom ArmRecorded and Edited in:⁣Hindenberg PROReferences:⁣www.britishmurders.com/marcshillibier Learn more about your ad choices.
