With the growing popularity of the internet, we have seen more men engage in incel culture. And Jake Davison was a self-confessed incel.

The word incel comes from the term 'involuntarily celibate' - and Jake's frustrations at the absence of women in his life, mixed with a fascination of guns and declining mental health struggles, resulted in the worst mass shooting the UK had seen for more than a decade.

This is Real.

WARNING: This episode involves a child victim. Whilst the descriptions are not detailed and the case is respectfully and carefully told, please take extra care whilst listening.

Jamie Lavis was an eight-year-old boy from Manchester, who went missing on the 5th of May, 1997. The police and Jamie's family were desperately trying to find him and they needed all the support they could get.

So when a local bus driver named Darren Vickers told the police he had seen Jamie on his bus on the day he went missing, Jamie's parents held on to the hope he provided. Not only that, but within weeks, Darren became their friend and spokesperson and even moved into their family home.

And what happened next, would devestate the local community and remind them that evil really exists.

Levi Bellfield is one of the most prolific and violent killers of our generation. He is behind bars thanks to murder squad detective Colin Sutton and his team.

Levi has been convicted of 3 murders and 1 attempted murder, but they are not his only crimes. And he is still commiting crimes behind bars by playing a seriously evil game with families (and the police), who are still searching for justice for their loved ones.

In this episode, Colin Sutton tells us how he and his team caught Bellfield, and how he believes there are many more victims of this monster than we know about.

So who was the convicted sex-offender, living in the flat just above the alleyway that Charlene was last seen in? And why did the police question him in prison?

And why did the quest for justice for Charlene become political?
