S04E10 - James Patterson Smith (The Murder of Kelly-Anne Bates)

In the tenth and final episode of British Murders Season 4, I tell the story of James Patterson Smith and Kelly-Anne Bates.⁣⁣⁣


On April 16, 1996, middle-aged James Smith drowned his 17-year-old girlfriend, Kelly-Anne, in the bath.⁣


Kelly-Anne had been brutally tortured by James for around 4 weeks prior to being murdered.⁣


Detective Sergeant Joseph Monaghan said he has never seen a case as horrific as this in his 15 years on the police force.⁣


James Smith was handed a life sentence on November 19, 1997, with a minimum term to serve of 20 years.⁣


This is one of the most brutal cases I’ve ever researched, so prepare yourself before listening.
