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

The local pub near Cambridge were hosting a Halloween party. Chris and Rebecca West weren't planning to go, they fancied a quiet night in watching TV with a takeaway. A number of their friends were there and having a great time so they decided to go and it was a fantastic night.

The international crime gang had planned everything, covered every detail.And as 33 year old Andrew Cole stood on the deck, he realised that his whole life depended on what happened in the next few hours. Andrew was listed as crew on the manifest, but his role was a very clear one – it was up to him to ensure the safe receipt, passage and transfer of the cocaine to a crew who were going to come out from the UK to take delivery of it near the English Channel. But as the Kahu reached the end of its journey from Barbados as it cruised past Guernsey, Andrew thought he heard a noise – or was it just his imagination playing tricks on him? He then clearly saw two vessels approach and to his horror he realised that is was the 42 metre Border Force cutter ‘Searcher’ along with the 19 metre coastal patrol vessel ‘Alert’. The gang had been rumbled....Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comBloodhound GinPlease head to persiedistillery.com/uktc to find about more about UK True Crime Bloodhound Gin.

20 year old Anna Kenny was walking to George Square in the centre of Glasgow to get a bus home when she was taken from the street and never seen alive again. Nobody has ever been convicted of her murder.In 2021, along with co-author Chris Clark, I released a book, 'Gone Fishing' about serial killer Angus Sinclair where we suggested that Sinclair was responsible for the murder of Anna Kenny. Can it just be coincidence that Anna's friend who was with her on the night she went missing married Sinclair's brother-in-law Gordon Hamilton? And why did Sinclair and Hamilton argue so badly on the night ahead of the wedding that the two never spoke again - was this about Anna's murder?My book, 'Gone Fishing' hasn't been available for a while but now it is back available to buy on Amazon, on kindle & paperback, and you can hear more about the terrible solved - and unsolved - crimes of Angus Sinclair.Buy 'Gone Fishing' todayhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C2SJ3JMM Hosted on Acast.

Carradale is a village on the east coast of Kintyre, off the west coast of Scotland and looking over the west coast of the Isle of Aaron in the Firth of Clyde. The harbour at Carradale is sheltered and looks out at the deep waters of Kibrannan Sound and then the towering mountains of Aaron. It is a beautiful, peaceful spot and if you look carefully, you will see a small memorial plaque on the harbour wall, commemorating the crew of the FV Antares, who lost their lives at sea. In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at just what happened to the FV Antares off the coast of Scotland.Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://linktr.ee/uktruecrimeSourceshttps://www.thenational.scot/news/19547219.vigil-true-story-antares-trawler-sunk-submarine/https://britishseafishing.co.uk/the-sinking-of-fv-antares/https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12647389.eight-lessons-learned-from-tragedy-of-antares-sinking/            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FV_Antareshttps://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/54c1127c40f0b6158d00001b/MAIBReport_AntaresHMSTrenchant-1992.pdfhttps://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12550636.fatal-combination-that-led-to-disaster/https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12584178.minister-says-no-more-action-on-antares-sinking/https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/fishing-boat-skipper-blasts-faslane-9035294https://theferret.scot/royal-navy-secrecy-nuclear-submarine-crashes/https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12548163.no-antares-action/https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/5816906/nuclear-submarine-collision-ferry-passengers-scotland/http://www.kintyreforum.com/https://www.nickdavies.net/1992/12/12/truth-behind-the-fatal-sinking-of-a-trawler/https://fishingnews.co.uk/news/pescado-owner-aims-for-new-inquest/ Hosted on Acast.
