Join Underworld Uncut Podcast host Hayley Rhodes alongside legendary broadcaster Fred Dinenage as they return to Fred’s Murder Casebook, revisiting some of the UK’s most historic, controversial, and infamous criminal cases. In this episode, Fred and Hayley explore the tragic story of Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be executed in Britain. In 1955, the twenty-eight-year-old nightclub manager shot her abusive lover, racing driver David Blakely, outside a London pub. What followed was a swift trial, a nation gripped by debate, and a case that would ultimately help change attitudes toward capital punishment in the UK. The full television programme is known as 'Murder Casebook' on Underworld Uncut and 'Murders That Shocked the Nation' on Sky Crime and NOW TV.
