Four Lives Taken in Seven Days: The Murders of David & Julie Williams and Pregnant Nichola McGregor | Ep. 236

Four Lives Taken in Seven Days: The Murders of David & Julie Williams and Pregnant Nichola McGregor | Ep. 236

In late February 2026, news broke that one of Britain’s most notorious child killers had been attacked inside prison. Within days, Ian Huntley, the man responsible for the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, was dead. The man accused of carrying out the attack was another inmate, Anthony Russell, and almost instantly the internet lit up with celebration.


But here’s the thing. While some people online have been calling Russell a hero, that version of the story leaves out something important. Long before he ever crossed paths with Huntley behind prison walls, Russell had already left a trail of devastation across the West Midlands. In the space of just seven days, four people lost their lives after encountering him - David Williams, his mum Julie Williams, and pregnant Nichola McGregor.
