The tranquility of a North East village was shattered one morning back in April 1989, with a series of events that brought the North Tyneside village of Monkseaton the darkest day in it's history. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we look back at the events that unfolded.

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including that of a sexual nature, that some listeners may find disturbing, and or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
