This week on Dee-Brief, Dee explores one of the darkest cases to ever rock the Royal Navy - Allan Grimson: The Killer Sailor.
A decorated naval instructor. A trusted mentor. And behind that disciplined façade - a sadistic killer.
Between 1997 and 1999, two young sailors disappeared on the exact same date, two years apart. Both had been lured by Grimson, both were murdered with chilling precision. What investigators uncovered would expose a pattern of predation hidden inside one of Britain’s most respected institutions.
