The Cannibal Killer: Episode 68

The story this week is from South Wales and is as shocking a story as I have ever brought to you on the UK True Crime Podcast. It is hard to comprehend that in the small town of Maesteg, lived a man with an obsession for the crimes of Fred & Rose West and fantasised about travelling the county abducting, assaulting and murdering innocent women. In this episode, we hear how this fantasy become a terrifying reality.Join me at TrueCrimeFest in London in Marchhttps://www.truecrimefest.co.uk/Buy My New True Crime Content Creators Online Coursehttps://adam-s-site-be58.thinkific.com/products/courses/true-crime-content-creation-courseWriting Credit: Chris WoodYou can buy Chris's second book, 'Death in the Theatre' here: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Theatre-Chris-Wood/dp/1399009117Watch my YouTube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@Adam-uktruecrime/videosListen/Watch the True Crime Catch Uphttps://audioalways.lnk.to/TrueCrimeCatchUpFind Our More About Mehttps://uktruecrime.comJoin UK True Crime Facebook Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrime Hosted on Acast.
