"Angel Face" And "The Muscleman" (Part 2)

Back for the second and final part of a two part tale here, where we take up the stories of Walter "Angel Face" Probyn, and John Roger McVicar - "The Muscleman". We've heard in the previous episode the exploits of each individually, and the various scrapes and escapes that led to both of them looking at a number of years longer than a DFS sale.

Those exploits are as unbelieveable as anything - so imagine what happened when you put them together, in a High Security wing?

Well, that's the tale here.

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events that some listeners may find disturbing and/or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
