Dark & Murky Undercurrents: Episode 420
Last week, we heard about Roderick McLean who was sent to prison when police and customs officers captured a gang of eight drug smugglers off the Caithness coast. During the raid customs officer Alastair Souter was killed when he fell and was crushed between a customs cutter and the gang's boat. The drugs haul netted three tons of cannabis, valued at £10 million. McLean, the gang leader, was convicted and sentenced to 28 years in prison.This week we follow McLean in prison, but not for long as he soon escaped - was this with the help of the Security Services? - and his death in a seedy hostel in Streatham, London. We discover that his death poses many more questions than answers.Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comSupport me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeSourcesThe Death Of Roddy McLean - UK True Crime Hosted on Acast.

Selling the Dream: Episode 414
The dream of owning property in The Caribbean plus gaining a large financial gain on your investment. For many of us it is the dream. And Essex businessman David Ames played on this as he lured investors with the promise of a Caribbean dream, but, the reality was a fraud he perpetrated which left thousands with the nightmare of losing life-savings and pensions.Through glossy brochures, slick marketing events and the pulling power of so-called celebrities, he persuaded people to invest in off-plan holiday cabanas and apartments across the Caribbean and in Brazil. They lost everything whilst he and his family lived a life of luxury.This week, I look at the scandal of Harlequin Properties.Support me at Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeFind out all about UK True Crimehttps://linktr.ee/uktruecrimeSourcesSelling the Dream - UK True Crime Hosted on Acast.

The Ambush: Episode 413
Life was pretty good for Paul Brady. He had just got engaged to Emma and the big day was set for the following spring.Paul was a foreman responsible for security at a number of local site and one sunny Saturday morning he met up with a joiner, David Collier, and headed to a local property to make some repairs after the house suffered some vandalism the evening before. By 2.10pm, all was done and the two men were driving away when the peace of the day was shattered and their path was blocked when a people carrier blocked their way along the road and another vehicle came up behind their cars – a classic pincer movement. Both men knew straight away it was an ambush and they were in trouble. These assailants weren’t amateurs – they were armed with metal bars and baseball bats and one had a shotgun. All were wearing black, tight-fitting ski masks and identical black hooded tops and black trousers. They weren’t messing about.David managed to escape by jumping in a nearby river but Paul wasn't so lucky and suffered a dreadful beating. He was then taken away by the gang.

The Reconstruction: Episode 397
It was a bright winters day in Sheffield at about 4pm as two friends were walking to return a drill bit to a tool factory. As the walked, they saw something just off the pavement in the hedges – it hadn’t been covered up and was easily spotted. It was a three foot holdall.The two men who found it carried it down the road, thinking it contained something valuable like an engine; it was certainly big enough. The bag was covered by a bedding sheet tied with rope and the body was wrapped in polythene. They undid the rope, unzipped the bag, peeled open the polythene and got the shock of their lives. They had found a badly decomposed body - a body that was soon confirmed to be that of a man who had been murdered a number of years before.Just who had dumped the body in this area where it would easily be found.

The Late Night Visitor: Episode 387
When the knock at the door came shortly after midnight, Carol & Keith Slater initially tried to ignore the noise, assuming it was just kids messing around or maybe someone at the wrong address. But as the knocking continued, Carol told Keith he should pop down and see who was at the door in case it was related to their two young children who were staying with Grandparents that night. It might be the police, maybe there had been an accident.Minutes later, Keith was dead - at just 33 years old - and so many lives changed forever.

The Drugs Importation: Episode 337
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.

The Murder of Anna Kenny: Bonus Mini-Episode
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.

Tragedy at Tebay: Episode 320
It was a dark, winters morning as the 10 men group carried out maintenance on the railway line near Tebay. The men wore their safety helmets to block out the noise of their machinery and there was no look-out as the line was closed in both directions. So when the 20 tonne wagon came hurtling down the track towards them at 40 miles per hour it was completely unexpected. As one fellow worker put it, "This was the worst nightmare for any rail man - an un-manned wagon coming straight at you out of the pitch darkness." Four men were killed instantly that morning and others injured in the tragedy. Today, I tell their story.Sourceshttps://www.constructionnews.co.uk/archive/tebay-tragedy-court-session-24-03-2005/https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/5856470.rail-tragedy-victim-had-made-complaint/https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/7155039.sabotaged-rail-wagon-killed-four-court-told/https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/he-cut-costs-four-men-died-574429http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/4816206.stmhttps://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/you-never-said-sorry-greedy-2897271https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/4886375https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/7000299.rail-men-killed-20-tonnes-death/https://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/news/675301.tebay-rail-workers-deny-manslaughter/https://www.commercialmotor.com/news/compliance/man-convicted-manslaughter-refused-o-licence?page=6https://morningstaronline.co.uk/a-b665-rail-union-marks-loss-of-workers-at-tebay-1https://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/news/709471.tebay-rail-disaster-pair-jailed/https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/cowboy-operator-rhyl-convicted-manslaughter-12426689https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/rail-contractor-blamed-everyone-himself-2900167#http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/4802584.stm Hosted on Acast.

The Rolex Killer: Episode 301
It was early on a summers morning in the English Channel, not far from Exeter, when the fishermen pulled up their nets. They were heavy and they were excited by what they may have caught. They found themselves looking at the fully clothed body of a middle-aged man and immediately called the police. The difficulty the police experienced was that there was no ID on the man at all, just an expensive rolex watch on his wrist. Would this help them find the man and just what happened to him?Referenced siteswww.patreon.com/uktruecrimehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrimewww.uktruecrime.comSourceshttps://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymouth-news/rolex-murder-how-police-caught-516448.amp?fbclid=IwAR37_lJofAr3MStsfCsU_ggZsNUWfKbBrUQtVNalrMQ-4eh5yYaZSYVBAk4https://medium.com/crimebeat/the-insanely-bizarre-murder-mystery-of-ronald-joseph-platt-6254fa29bd6ehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Johnson_Walkerhttps://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/daughter-speaks-out-against-evil-father/article18219037/ Hosted on Acast.

Live Interview With Author Jason Wilson at CrimeCon London
At CrimeCon London last weekend, I had the pleasure of interviewing author Jason Wilson about his excellent new book, 'The Old Man And Me'. In front of a live audience, we chatted about why he wrote his book about growing up and living with his gangster father. The book is no nonsense and talks about the reality of crime, not the glamourised versions you hear about elsewhere, and in this interview Jason was very open about his life. I hope you enjoy and there is link to the book below.Buy your copy here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Old-Man-thrilling-biography-understand/dp/1913406881 Hosted on Acast.

Introducing 'The Apology Line' - from Wondery
If you could call a number and say you’re sorry, and no one would know…what would you apologize for? For fifteen years, you could call a number in Manhattan and do just that. This is the story of the line, and the man at the other end who became consumed by his own creation. He was known as “Mr. Apology.” As thousands of callers flooded the line, confessing to everything from shoplifting to infidelity, drug dealing to murder, Mr. Apology realized he couldn’t just listen. He had to do something, even if it meant risking everything. From Wondery the makers of Dr. Death and The Shrink Next Door, comes a story about empathy, deception and obsession. Marissa Bridge, who knew Mr. Apology better than anyone, hosts this six episode series. Listen today at http://wondery.fm/UKTrueCrime Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Introducing 'Death of a Starlet' - from Wondery
Nineteen eighty was going to be Dorothy Stratten’s year. Playboy’s Hugh Hefner thought it might even be her decade.
