The Sussex town of Worthing had the misfortune to have Al Watson move there in 1964 after finishing his latest prison sentence. Watson was a delusional and incompetent criminal who was dishonest and cheated everyone, not discriminating amongst friend or foe.
Watson soon met and moved in with wealthy but vulnerable widow Ruby Roberts. The relationship seemed fraught from the beginning, finally resulting in people fishing off a Kent coast making an unpleasant discovery.
This is another case that seems to have been v virtually forgotten, the information for the podcast coming from the police records sourced at the National Archives. There were some particularly unpleasant photos in the file.
I record the podcast in one take as life is too short for editing. I like the idea of an old time live radio programme telling a story. I hesitate, mumble and make mistakes over pronunciation, so if this is a problem, then please do not listen.
