The bonus episode today, is the second of my monthly conversations with my good friend Stuart, the host of the British Murders Podcast.

Once again, we sat down to chat about local, national and international crimes which have really made an impression with us. I hope you find it of interest and let me know what you would like us to discuss in the March episode.

Look out for the normal weekly episode on Tuesday.

He was a promising young trader and Kweku Adoboli seemed destined for greatness in the world of finance. A rising star at Swiss bank UBS, his future was limitless. But in September 2011, the world would learn his name for a far darker reason. In a bombshell email, Adoboli confessed to something almost unimaginable: gambling away £1.4 billion of his employer’s money in a series of unauthorized trades that would become one of the biggest losses in financial history.

This episode comes from Coventry where thirty year old Thomas Coleman was taking a horticultural course to get the experience needed for a permanent job. There he met a man ten years his junior, Robert Green who was on the same course. The pair struck up a friendship of sorts, although the two men were markedly different people. For instance, Robert Green sported a satanic symbol tattooed across his forehead whilst Thomas Coleman placed great faith in his Christian beliefs – as you can see, not the most obvious of friends.

When Green believed the Devil had told him to make a human sacrifice, the man he chose to attack was his quiet and gentle work colleague, Thomas Coleman.

It was 9.50 am when paramedics rushed to Queenswood Avenue in Bournemouth after a 999 call from Anita Turner. In a calm tone, she had told the call handler: “My son’s friend is staying with us. This morning I tried to wake both of them up but the girl didn’t wake up. I can’t wake her up.” The ‘friend’ she was referring to was her son’s girlfriend of the past few months, seventeen-year-old Emily Longley. Why had a seemingly fit and healthy Emily died that night?

In this episode, we discover once again, how families are not always what they seem, and secrets are held within the four walls.

An Entitled Man - UK True Crime

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Christian Thornton was the landlord of the Hammer & Pincers pub, in Widnes in the north-west of England, and a very popular landlord he was too, who was very popular and worked closely with the many charities in the community. He didn’t take any nonsense but he was a kind, good-humoured man who took his responsibilities as a landlord seriously. He had run the popular pub with his wife for 16 years and as well as their business, it was also the home of the couple and their three children.

But on one quiet and very normal Sunday, events at the pub resulted in the most shocking murder.

Tina Casey left the family home in the Isle of Man to live in the north-east of England, in a pretty village just north of Newcastle. She and her partner had a baby and were so grateful for the support of his mum, who Tina described as her 'rock'. But when the relationship with her partner broke down and Tina spoke about returning to the Isle of Man, events took a sinister, and ultimately tragic, turn.

It was 4.20 am when the emergency services were called. By then, the fire at the house in Wakefield had really taken hold with intense heat, thick smoke and flames as neighbours desperately tried to help the family of four escape from their home. Tragically, two people lost their lives in the dreadful fire and very soon, it was clear that this was no accident. Someone had deliberately set fire to the house. But who? And why?
