Hello and welcome to this week's episode of our series 'Around the World'.

Join us as we travel to the capital of India, Delhi, where in 2012 a crime so horrific took place that the cries of the young women of India reverberated around the globe.

On Sunday 16th December 2012, a lovely young intern doctor, aged 23 called Jyoti Singh, who having completed her studies went to relax with a friend at the movies one Sunday afternoon. The film of choice was Life of Pi and having finished the film they made their way home using a public bus service.

It wasn't long before they were both victims of an extremely violent attack at the hands of the bus driver and his friends.

Once they had finished with the young couple, they threw them out of the moving bus, leaving them for dead.

However, even though Jyoti had suffered life threatening injuries, she was a fighter and helped the police find and convict her assailants.

Once news of this appalling attack reached the public, they took to the streets to demand justice for Jyoti and safety for Indian women.

Hello and welcome to this week's episode of our current series, Around the World, where we take some of the most intriguing cases from all over the world to delve into, discuss and attempt to make sense of.

In this weeks episode about Africa, Carrie and Loz cover a country each.

Caz talks about the Idi Amin years in Uganda and of his dictatorship and ruthless ruling for 8 long years in the 1970's where people would mysteriously disappear or be taken for torture and execution. By the time his regime was overthrown in 1979 upwards of 300,000 had been killed and many thousands thrown out.

Loz has chosen to talk us through the genocide that took place in Rwanda back in the 1990's where around 500,000 people of the Tutsi ethnic group were murdered in the streets in the space of just 100 days. Where the media mogul, Félicien Kabuga enticed civil war and via his radio station and thousands of machetes, encouraged people to turn on their neighbours and former friends and turn Rwanda into nothing short of a blood-bath.

Hello and welcome to this week's episode of our current series, Around the World, where we take some of the most intriguing cases from all over the world to delve into, discuss and attempt to make sense of.

This weeks episode takes us to South Africa in the 1990's. Moses Sithole has the dubious claim of being South Africa's most prolific serial killer or the South African Ted Bundy.

Between 1993-94 he murdered at least 38 women and raped many more. He was named the ABC killer as the murders began in Atteridgeville, continued to Boksburg and finished in Cleveland, all suburbs of the big cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria.

Against a backdrop of post-Apartheid South Africa, Moses Sithole caused a reign of fear and terror among the young women of the area and no could figure out why women were still happy to go off with him, even though all women were living in fear of becoming his next victim.

Once captured it became known that he duped women into thinking they were attending a job interview, and as he was dressed so smartly and was so charming they trusted him and sadly were never seen again.

Hello and welcome to this week's episode of our current series, Around the World, where we take some of the most intriguing cases from all over the world to delve into, discuss and attempt to make sense of.

To their friends, family and everyone who knew them, the de Ligonnès family were a loving and close-knit unit. Consisting of the father, Xavier who had recently inherited the ancient family title of Count, his wife, Agnes who was a teaching assistant at the local Catholic school, and their four lovely children, Arthur, the eldest at age 20 who was studying at University, Thomas who was an 18-year-old student, Anne a beautiful and bright 16-year-old schoolgirl and finally, Benoit aged 14.

That was until one day, after the whole family, who had been missing for almost three weeks were discovered buried under the back garden patio. When we say the whole family, there was actually one person missing - the patriarch - Xavier.

When the police began their search they soon discovered that a couple of weeks earlier, Xavier had left his suburban home to take a trip down memory lane, revisiting his old haunts in the South of France, before ensuring he was seen entering a vast forest and mountain range, never to be seen again.

After appearing in an episode of Netfilx's Unsolved Mysteries, it prompted the question, did he die out there or did he have a plan to get away and begin a new life somewhere far away? Let us know what you think?

Aaaaaaaaand we're back for Series 5

This time we have gone for the theme of crimes around the world and we have picked out two or three cases from each continent.

To kick off series 5 we have began with the case of Anders Brevik, the far-right Norwegian terrorist who in 2011 went on a killing rampage which shocked the world.

He began his campaign by detonating a home made bomb in the political centre of Norway's capital, Oslo, with the aim of killing as many Labour politicians including the Prime Minister, as possible.

Once this mission was accomplished, dressed in the disguise of a policeman, he made his way to the island of Utoya where a Labour Youth summer camp was happening and for over an hour he stalked and killed as many children and young adults as he could find. Harrowing images captured from a news helicopter showed children desperately trying to swim to the mainland to safety and even showed the gunman picking off the children who were cowering on the shore of the island.

By the time the authorities managed to reach the island he had shot and killed 69 people.

The death toll at the city centre was eight people with over 200 injured.

Brevik gave himself up peacefully and is still in prison today.

Welcome to our spin-off show, Blue Murder Talks, where your girls catch up with other members of this lovely true crime community once a week in-between our main series.

This week we are joined by the lovely Connor Grover, fellow true crime enthusiast and advocate for gay rights.

We discuss the cases of Stephen Port, the Grindr killer who in the early 2000's murdered 4 young men and assaulted many more. He met most of these men on gay dating apps and got away with murder time and time again until the sisters of his final victim did some investigating and made the breakthrough that the police had to act on.

He also brought to our attention the case of Matthew Shepherd, a young American lad who was the victim of a homophobic attack that caused his death.

During our chat Connor gives us some great examples of what to watch and listen to true crime wise including the Netflix series Don't F*uck With Cats.

Welcome to our spin-off show, Blue Murder Talks, where your girls catch up with other members of this lovely true crime community once a week in-between our main series.

We are kicking off with fine artist, curator and Ministry of Arts Podcast host Gary Mansfield. He has had a most unlikely induction into the world of art: serving a fourteen year prison sentence in his early twenties for drug importation.

Gary was kind enough to join your girls for a lively chat about true crime, as true as it gets - right from the horses mouth! He discussed his life during his prison sentence and how finding he had a love and a talent for art, turned his life around and now he shares that passion with people who are still in prison.

In this episode Gary talks about the Iceman, Richard Kuklinski, Karl Denke, the German serial killer and cannibal and Agent Zigzag, Eddie Chapman the WW2 double agent and spy.

Gary has had a fascinating life and shares stories from his life that will make your hair curl, as well as sharing recommendations of books, pods and TV.

Pickled meat anyone?

So here we are listeners, at the end of this series, 4, and true to American Horror Story Season 10, we have made a double feature for you!

First we cover the case of Tony Costa, the Cape Cod Vampire, who in the 1960's committed a string of abductions and murders of young women. This was an idyllic time of peace and love and Cape Cod was a haven for free spirited young people to come and meet like-minded people, get high and have fun. Sadly some of these youngsters went to Tony's 'weed garden' and were never seen again. Once he was caught and the bodies were discovered, it was apparent just how depraved this killer was and when teeth marks were found he was forever to be known as the Cape Cod Vampire.

For the second part of our double feature we have covered the case of Betty and Barney Hill, who, if they are to be believed, were abducted by aliens and made their fortune selling their story and even having a film made about their experience - even Loz finds this one hard to believe!

We hope you have enjoyed this series and we will miss you all desperately until we're back with Series 5, so until then it is farewell and lots of love from L & C.
