Bonus Episode: 'The Rabbi, The Mistress & The Hitman'

For 18 year old Katie Rackliff it was just a normal night out. She had recently split up with her boyfriend and her friends thought it would do her good to get out for the evening. But there was confusion at the end of the evening after the nightclub and Katie didn't go home with her friends as planned. Instead, she met a brutal and terrifying death.In this episode of the UK true Crime podcast I look at the terrible murder of Katie Rackliff.Writing Credit: Megan Grant.

In the early hours of the morning, in Central Park in Plymouth, the bodies of Terry Sweet and Bernie Hawken were discovered lying just 200 yards apart in the park and it was clear that both had suffered a violent assault. Sadly, soon after the police arrived, Terry died from his injuries, aged just 64. Miraculously, Bernie survived the horrific attack, but his injuries were so severe that he spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.Just who had attacked these two men?  And why?Writing Credit: Megan Grant.

On the Friday, Suzanne Blamires went missing from her housing association home in the Allerton district of Bradford. Her family were immediately concerned for her welfare, but for the police Suzanne – or Amber as she was known on the streets - was a sex worker with a heroin habit and in a life that was often chaotic, they had little to go on. And by Monday Suzanne still hadn’t been found. But that morning, as the caretaker of a block of flats in Bradford watched his CCTV of the weekends activity, he saw to his horror Suzanne being brutally attacked....Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comBuy my book 'Gone Fishing' about serial killer Angus Sinclairhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Gone-Fishing-Unsolved-Crimes-Sinclair/dp/1914277201Bloodhound GinPlease head to persiedistillery.com/uktc to find about more about UK True Crime Bloodhound Gin.

This week, the Uk true crime podcast comes from the north-east of England, just by Durham. The A1 (M) is a busy motorway, and at 6.17pm on a summers day there were a few issues northbound due to an earlier fuel spillage. As the traffic slowed, none of the people in their cars patiently heading towards their destinations could have imagined that a 3.5 tonne lorry would not stop, and plough into the traffic, with terrible consequences.Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comBuy my book 'Gone Fishing' about serial killer Angus Sinclairhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Gone-Fishing-Unsolved-Crimes-Sinclair/dp/1914277201Bloodhound GinPlease head to persiedistillery.com/uktc to find about more about UK True Crime Bloodhound Gin.
