She could have died owing to her wounds and she should have been scarred for life owing to the attack, but as you’ll hear, from the precipice of death, it was the woman she was who ensured that the case was resolved, the culprit was convicted, and that the rest of her life was worth living.· Location:top floor flat, 9 Effra Road, Brixton, London, UK, SW2· Date: Tuesday the 18th of February 1992 at 7:15pm to 8am · Victims 1: Merlyn Nuttall · Culprits 1: Anthony Ferrira Murder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.

CrimeConversations brings together the biggest names in true crime, recorded live at CrimeCon London 2025, partnered by TRUE CRIME channel.” This is a recording of Is Peter Bryan a Cannibal, a live show I performed by myself Mike from Murder Mile UK True Crime. During the show, I encountered two bizarre technical problems, my notes vanished so I had to perform it from memory, and the clicker which controlled the slideshow started changing the slides of a different presentation in another room. Why? I have no idea. Enjoy the show. For the FULL PRESENTATION - click here Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/murdermile. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep306: The Double Murder of Annie Curtin. The tragic life of Annie Curtin is one that you will have never heard of before, and yet, it’s unnervingly familiar. She was an ordinary woman, a wife and a mother, living a regular life who deserved the right to live unharmed and unhurt. Frustratingly, there were laws put in place to protect her, but witnessing failure after failure after failure, many of those same laws are as unfit today as they’ve always been.Date: Sunday the 10th of May 1931 at just 8am (rough time of attempted murder)Location: Second Floor, 11 Old Compton Street, Soho, London, UK, W1 Victim: 1 (Alice Annie Curtin, nee Hailey)Culprits: 1 (William James Curtin)This episode features a promo by Truly Criminal.

As a one-off special, today I'm rolling out a mash-up episode between myself, Mike from Murder Mile, and Taylor & Hannah from the brilliant Drunk Women Solving Crime to create DRUNK MILE. we kick off with a story about the time I was a victim of a crime (sort of), then for the first time in DWSC history Hannah and Taylor have a crime story presented to them by the studio guest as I open a cold case from history which really has "legs". And finish the same way as always with a crime story from a DWSC listener, and if nothing else the team solves the puzzle of what rhymes with 'orange'.Listen to Drunk Women Solving Crime on all podcast platforms - CLICK HERE.

This hostel marks the final attack of a horrific rapist, kidnapper, paedophile, alleged necrophile and an almost triple murderer. It’s a case which caused uproar in a community, destroyed several families, and three lives which would be changed forever, yet it was barely reported and it remains forgotten. The killer came from nowhere, which begs the question, what led him to do the evil things he did?Location: Flat ?, York Mansions, 84 Chiltern Street, Marylebone, London, UK, W1Date: Monday 8th August 1994 (between 3pm and 5pm)Victims 1: Marina Koppel (Luz Marina Gomez De Koppel)Culprits 1: Sandip PatelMurder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.

It's an incredible twist and it's almost as if they were related, but they weren't. There is a correction in this episode.
