In this chilling 26-minute episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale exposes the disturbing life and crimes of Stephen Griffiths, the self-proclaimed Crossbow Cannibal who terrorized the city of Bradford. A criminology student obsessed with serial killers, Griffiths carefully crafted a persona of darkness — one he would make real with the crossbow execution of 36-year-old Suzanne Blamires, caught on CCTV in haunting detail. As police dug deeper, they uncovered his connection to the disappearances and murders of Susan Rushworth and Shelley Armitage, both sex workers, both betrayed by his cold manipulation. With elements of cannibalism, delusion, and calculated evil, this episode unpacks how a man who studied killers became one — and how he reveled in the spotlight his victims never got. 
Prepare for one of the darkest chapters in British true crime history
