Retired Man's Dog Walk Ends in 45 Stab Wounds
Retired Man's Dog Walk Ends in 45 Stab Wounds
An 83-year-old man made tea for his wife of fifty-nine years, bought her pastries, and loaded his two dogs into the car for a walk he'd taken countless times. Less than an hour later he was found beneath brambles with forty-five stab wounds and nothing stolen. How does a gentle retiree become a target on a quiet Saturday morning?
In this episode, we analyze the murder of Peter Riton on heathland in Norfolk, England. We examine the CCTV that placed a distinctive plate at the scene, the marked map and changed shirt that exposed the killer, and the warnings he had given his doctor months before. When a man tells clinicians that voices are urging him to kill, who is accountable when nothing is done?

Date: August 5, 2017
