S05E01 | Russell Bishop | The ‘Babes in the Wood’ Murders of Nicola Fellows and Karen Hadaway

In the first episode of British Murders Season 5, I tell the tragic story of the ‘Babes in the Wood’ murders.⁣


On October 9, 1986, a 20-year-old man named Russell Bishop sexually assaulted and strangled two 9-year-old girls named Nicola Fellows and Karen Hadaway.⁣


He was arrested, taken to trial and acquitted in 1987.⁣


In 1990, Bishop went on to sexually assault a 7-year-old girl, leaving her for dead.⁣


This time, the girl survived, and Bishop was handed a life sentence with a minimum term to serve of 14 years.⁣


Due to advances in technology and the passing of the Criminal Justice Act 2003, Bishop was retaken to trial in 2018 and found guilty of the murders of Nicola and Karen.⁣


He was handed two life sentences with a minimum term to serve of 36 years.⁣
