This is the first episode of my podcast Totalcrime. In May 2006 Nisha Patel-Nasri, a hairdresser and part-time special constable in the Metropolitan Police, was stabbed to death outside her home in London. It initially appeared as if she had been killed while disturbing a burglar or car thief. But the real motive for her killing would only emerge later and it would involve a cheating husband and a cast of sinister characters from London's underworld. I covered the trial and in this episode I tell the full story, complete with readings from my own notebooks.
