Four Murders In Northern Ireland: Episode 76

It was 9.50 am when paramedics rushed to Queenswood Avenue in Bournemouth after a 999 call from Anita Turner. In a calm tone, she had told the call handler: “My son’s friend is staying with us. This morning I tried to wake both of them up but the girl didn’t wake up. I can’t wake her up.” The ‘friend’ she was referring to was her son’s girlfriend of the past few months, seventeen-year-old Emily Longley. Why had a seemingly fit and healthy Emily died that night?In this episode, we discover once again, how families are not always what they seem, and secrets are held within the four walls.Writing Credit: Tanita MatthewsBuy Tanita's new book today:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Murder-Judith-Roberts-Peter-Sutcliffe/dp/1399080121White Ribbonhttps://www.whiteribbon.org.ukFind out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comSupport me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeSourcesAn Entitled Man - UK True Crime Hosted on Acast.
