This series' Houses of Blood episode drops this time around, and we are off back just a couple of years, to the West Midlands, to hear a ghastly and tragic tale of an innocent woman, a friend to everyone, and a chance meeting that led to two individuals making their very warped fantasies into a very sick, stark reality. 

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing, and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
