S06E08 | Gary Allen | The Murders of Samantha Class and Alena Grlakova

In the eighth episode of British Murders Season 6, I tell the story of Gary Allen.


In late 1997, Gary murdered 29-year-old mum-of-three Samantha Class in Hull, East Yorkshire. He was acquitted of her murder in early 2000.


Just after Christmas 2018, Gary killed once more. This time, he murdered 38-year-old mum-of-four Alena Grlakova in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.


His trial for both murders began in 2021. The jury found Gary Allen guilty of both murders, and the Judge handed him a life sentence with a minimum term of 37 years.
