Season 4: When Rhoda Nathan's lifeless body was discovered in her hotel room, it was assumed she'd had a heart attack. The autopsy proved otherwise: Nathan, 67, had been viciously beaten to death, punched so hard by her assailant that two of her teeth had been knocked out. Days later, a hotel employee went to the hospital to be treated for an infection in his hand, which was teeming with a bacteria most often found in human mouths.

In the South, food and music go hand in hand. They define much of what we think of as Southern culture, and they say a lot about our past, our present, and our future. Each week, Sid Evans, Editor in Chief of Southern Living, sits down with musicians, chefs, and other Southern icons to hear the stories of how they grew up, what inspires them, and why they feel connected to the region. Through honest conversations, Sid explores childhood memories, the family meals they still think about, and the intersection of food and music in their lives. Always surprising, always engaging, Biscuits & Jam is a celebration of the South—and the people who are moving it forward every day. New episodes every Tuesday.

ПодобаєтьсяThis week, we kick things off with talk of fireworks, chaotic bonfire night crowds, and Hannah dropping some insanely awesome news (the kind that actually makes us both a bit emotional). But after that burst of brightness, we take a sharp turn — back to South London in the summer of 1986. When a neighbour forced open the door to a flat on St Alphonsus Road, she walked straight into a scene of horror. Inside were the bodies of Susan Tetrault and Brian Price , brutally murdered as they slept. What first looked like a senseless act soon revealed a tangled story that stretched from Cornwall to Morocco, Cyprus to Clapham — a web of drug smuggling, unpaid debts, and brutal retribution. In this episode, we unravel how their murders may be tied to another double killing three years earlier, and a mysterious “accident” that followed soon after. Five deaths. One network. And a case marked as “detected” — even though no one was ever found guilty. Nearly forty years later, the files are closed. But the questions still aren’t.

This episode brings together the cases of Scotty Kouebitra, Rocky Djelal, Ben Gardner, and Richard Price, four men whose lives ended in acts of violence that should never have happened. From Croydon to Southwark, pubs to parks, we look at how ordinary nights — fireworks, parties, and quick pints — turned fatal. Ben, beaten to death after three men stole his girlfriend’s hat. Scotty, chased down and stabbed while watching fireworks with friends. Richard, kicked to death outside a pub over a supposed slight. Rocky, murdered in broad daylight in Southwark Park after an eighteen-year feud. Each story sits somewhere between chaos and revenge — where a split-second of violence changes everything. We also somehow find time to talk Rach’s brother’s wedding, her trip to Kraków, and why this one’s a few days late (spoiler: flu and migraines). Support the show Thanks for tuning in!

But once we’ve had our rant, we’re heading back to South London for a story that’s as shocking as it is tragic. In December 1969, Wimbledon was the picture of quiet suburbia, Christmas lights, family dinners, and that post-holiday haze where no one quite knows what day it is. But on Arthur Road, behind the warm glow of St Mary’s House, something unthinkable happened. When Alick McKay came home, he found chaos, an open door, a torn-off telephone, his wife’s glasses on the carpet, and their dachshund Carly pacing by the fire. Muriel was gone. What followed became Britain’s first modern kidnap-for-ransom, a crime born from desperation, greed and mistaken identity. Two brothers from Hertfordshire thought they were targeting Rupert Murdoch’s glamorous wife. Instead, they took an ordinary woman from Wimbledon and set off a manhunt that gripped the nation. We trace the story from Muriel’s quiet life in South London to the police investigation that changed British criminal history, a case without a body, a family’s fifty-five-year fight for answers, and a tragedy that still echoes today.

This week, we’re heading back to 1891 to meet Thomas Neill Cream – a doctor with a taste for power, poison, and blackmail. Known to history as The Lambeth Poisoner , Cream left a trail of women dead across three continents, fuelled by arrogance and strychnine. From letters to MPs and absurd ransom notes to his infamous final words on the gallows, this is the story of the man who thought he was cleverer than everyone else — and very nearly got away with it.

Inside, someone was waiting. Over the next 18 months, four elderly women across Southwark and Rotherhithe would be brutally attacked in their own homes by the same man — Michael John Roberts. The press called him the Praying Rapist and the Beast of Bermondsey , a violent predator who stalked South London’s most vulnerable residents for nearly two years before vanishing without trace. Decades later, a cold-case review and a breakthrough in low-copy-number DNA finally unmasked him. And because we know you come here for both the horror and the human, Rach and Han chat about bowling disasters, tall-girl energy, new specs, and the difference between “pronto” and “quickly.” (Spoiler: it’s not what you think.)

Armed men forced their way in, tied up her family, and executed Avril in front of her husband and two young daughters. Her death became part of a wider spree of violence that shook London and helped shape the launch of Operation Trident. In this episode, we walk through Avril’s life, her love of music, the terrifying events of that night, and the trial that followed, while also unpicking the wider panic about so-called “yardie gangs” in the late 90s.

In March 1879, widow Julia Martha Thomas hired a new servant, Kate Webster - a decision that would prove fatal. Within weeks Julia was dead, dismembered in her own kitchen copper, and Kate was strutting around Richmond in her employer's clothes, even trying to sell off the furniture. In this episode we unravel the murder, the cover-up, and the sensational Old Bailey trial that made Kate infamous as the "Richmond Murderess". Along the way, we talk about whether we thrive under our own jurisdiction (spoiler: no), how not to make coffee when you're already in a mood, and the ongoing curse of smashed plates and dead mice.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяWe're back! Season 3 is a go... what does season 3 do differently from season 2 you ask? Well... nothing really! HOWEVER... We're back with a big ol’ case – the brutal murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby in Woolwich in 2013. In this episode we cover the events of that shocking day, the life of Lee Rigby, and the aftermath that rippled far beyond South London. From the horrific attack in broad daylight, to the courage of bystanders, the trial of his killers, and the way far-right groups tried to hijack his memory – this is a tough one, but one we felt we had to do justice to. Of course, it wouldn’t be Sinister South without a bit of life admin first. Expect chat about hen dos and weddings, near-death experiences with kids wielding water guns, Hannah’s bright pink dress, Rachel’s new obsession with painting by numbers, and why running a virtual farm might just be more stressful than real life.

But soon we turn to the devastating story of Lakanal House. In July 2009, a fire tore through the Camberwell tower block, claiming the lives of Catherine Hickman, Dayana Francisquini, her children Thais and Felipe, and Helen Udoka with her newborn daughter Michelle. It exposed fatal flaws in fire safety, building regulations, and the infamous “stay put” policy. This was a tragedy that should have been a wake-up call, yet eight years later, Grenfell showed how little had changed. We explore the events, the victims, the investigation, and the warnings that went unheeded.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяCamberwell, South London. A quiet flat just off the main road. Nothing about it stood out—least of all the man inside. But for over a decade, Frederick Diji was running a romance scam so insidious, one victim sent him money for 14 years. Using fake names, false promises, and a soft voice on the other end of the phone, Diji—and his accomplice Raquel Johnson—manipulated over 80 victims into handing over more than £400,000. Their targets? Mostly older gay men. People less likely to report it. Less likely to be believed. This is a story of shame, silence and stolen futures. Of what happens when loneliness gets weaponised—and love becomes a trap. Plus: Hannah’s got an 80s hen do, Rachel’s got a vendetta against fabric softener, and we both end up talking about the exes we probably should’ve blocked years ago.

In this episode, we tell the story of 17-year-old Levi Ernest-Morrison — a kind, funny, and thoughtful boy from Sydenham with a love of motorbikes, dreams of building a home in St Lucia, and a future ahead of him. Until the evening of 10th April 2021, when he was hunted down in the street by a group of teenagers wielding machetes — and never made it home. This story was featured in the BBC series The Met: Policing London , and in this episode we explore the full context, including Levi’s life before the attack, the involvement of Ulysses, Sprules and others, and the devastating impact on a family left behind. We also chat about the summer holidays, walking motivation (or the lack thereof), and attempt to design badges with predictably terrible results. Because it’s Sinister South — and we will always balance the darkest stories with a little bit of nonsense and a lot of swearing.

By morning sisters Nabiha and Maleha Masud were dying in hospital. The attack came without warning, leaving detectives and the girls grieving mother, desperate to understand why. Join Hannah and Rachel as they unpick a case of shocking entitlement and the devastating consequences of unchecked obsession. We also explore the legal aftermath, including rare appeals and how 'life' sentences actually work when the killer is a child. Before diving into the horror of the case, as always we go off the rails in the best way — debating whether sharks belong in baths, who really needs hobbies, and why Hannah once rugby tackled a child at Madame Tussauds. There’s also some musings on ghost sightings in swimming pools and a very emotional chat about identity and invisible labour in relationships. Standard stuff, really.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяIn this week’s episode of Sinister South, we revisit one of the most harrowing chapters in modern British policing – the fatal shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes. On 22nd July 2005, just two weeks after the 7/7 London bombings, Jean Charles, a 27-year-old Brazilian electrician, was followed, misidentified, and shot seven times in the head by armed police at Stockwell Tube station. They believed he was a suicide bomber. He wasn't. We trace Jean Charles’ life before unpacking the chain of catastrophic decisions that led to his death. We examine Operation Kratos, media misinformation, Met failings, and the long, painful legal journey his family fought in the aftermath. Also featuring: Hannah’s quiet breakdown, an emotionally volatile tube mouse, and the dangers of expired auburn hair dye.

Her murder shocked South London – not just because of its brutality, but because it exposed the serious failings in how violent offenders were being managed. In this episode, we look at the pioneering role of DNA in solving Lorraine’s case, the disturbing history of her killer John Dunn, and the wider questions her death raised about justice, parole, and whose lives are protected. We also briefly cover bum-counting at pop concerts, kinetic sand post-cleaner rage, and an acid attack that wasn’t acid – but was still bloody scary. It’s a mix of the ridiculous and the rage-inducing, which feels about right for the world we live in.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяIn February 2011, 21-year-old Gagandip Singh was found in the boot of his burning car on a residential road in Blackheath. At first, police thought it might’ve been a stolen vehicle, torched for the hell of it, but what they uncovered was a calculated, deeply personal murder. Gagandip was a rising star in the Sikh community, running his own TV channel and trying to carry on his father’s legacy after a devastating loss. But behind the smiles of those around him, darker motives were at play, and a plan for revenge was already in motion. This is a case about blurred boundaries, obsessive jealousy, and so-called friends who crossed a line they could never come back from. 🎧 Content warning: alleged sexual assault and graphic violence.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяIn this episode, recorded amid cat flap dramas, church hall trauma, and a frankly terrifying inflatable dinosaur, we dive into one of the most disturbing and under-reported cases in South London’s history: the murder of Bulic Forsythe. In February 1993, Bulic a civil servant working in Lambeth Council’s social services department was found bludgeoned to death in his Brixton flat. The flat had been set on fire, the gas tampered with, and key documents were missing. Officially, the case remains unsolved. Unofficially, those who’ve followed it closely believe Bulic was murdered because of what he knew and what he was about to expose. In this episode, we examine Bulic’s life, what he may have uncovered about abuse in Lambeth care homes, and why, more than 30 years later, no one has been held accountable. It’s a story of institutional failure, cover-ups, and the price some pay for trying to do the right thing. ⚠️ Warning: this episode contains discussion of child abuse, sexual violence, and arson.

Both had warned police. Both were ignored. And both were lost because no one acted when it mattered. We talk about stalking, missed red flags, a crowbar attack that led nowhere, and a family forced to do the investigating themselves. Plus, the absolute fury of watching a system shrug and walk away – twice. There’s chat about chaotic Patreons, accidentally sending bonus episodes to the wrong people, and whether Gemma Collins has secretly taken over our mics… but at its heart, this episode is about two women who deserved better.

After a slightly chaotic opening involving anxiety spirals, pocket-based trouser strategy, and a traumatic passport photo, things quickly turn grim as we cover the brutal 2020 murder of 25-year-old Riches Obie in Elephant & Castle. He had no criminal past. No enemies. Just a quiet life with his mum — until he was fatally stabbed in their flat. Was it a robbery gone wrong? Or the fallout of a sham marriage scam involving immigration paperwork, money, and three Dutch nationals with links to international crime? Why did his mum flee to Nigeria and refuse to testify? And why did his sister step over his dying body to collect a suitcase? A tragic, messy case. With more questions than answers.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяIn the summer of 2020, the quiet suburb of Mitcham was shaken by an unthinkable tragedy. Five-year-old Sayagi Sivanantham was found critically injured in her family’s flat, and what followed would unravel into a story that forced a difficult national reckoning. In this episode, we explore the human story behind the headlines – one of a vibrant little girl, a community in shock, and the quiet crisis hiding in plain sight. This case asks uncomfortable questions. About mental health, motherhood, and what happens when systems designed to protect don’t catch the warning signs in time. As always, there is the usual chaos and giggles before the case kicks off. This week is the tale of "Rachel and Hannahs very annoying day".

Laura Mordaunt Chapman lived a quiet, reclusive life—until Albert Hadfield, a local sweetshop owner with a shady past and a bicycle, wormed his way in. With 47 stab wounds, no signs of a break-in, and a staged crime scene, the case screamed foul play… but nearly 90 years on, no one has ever been convicted. We’re talking poison apples (not really, but sort of), romantic misunderstandings, and the mystery of why Laura, who never left her kitchen, was found upstairs. Oh, and we’ve upgraded our recording kit thanks to Young William. Fancy. Join us as we unravel a lesser-known but chilling South London murder and raise a glass (or a cider) to one year of Sinister South. Spoiler: Albert definitely did it.

In the early 1990s, South London was a hotspot for gangland violence, with organised crime families like the Arifs and Brindells locked in a deadly power struggle. In this episode, we explore the interconnected murders of Arma Abdullah, David Brindell, and Stanley Silk – killings that reveal a chilling web of retribution, turf wars, and community silence. From a targeted hit in a Woolworth betting shop to a brutal double shooting at the Bell Pub, these unsolved crimes shed light on the criminal underworld operating in plain sight and the innocent lives caught in the crossfire. We examine gang rivalries, police failures, the roots of Operation Trident, and how entire communities were impacted by fear and distrust. (Also includes a brief ode to spiderweb garden furniture and why we’re still not over our teenage goth phases.)

In this episode, we uncover the disturbing murder of a young French au pair at the hands of a South London couple who convinced themselves she was a spy sent by a former boyband star. With twisted obsession, manipulation, and a shared fantasy that spiralled into torture and murder, this is one of the most haunting domestic crimes in modern British history.

In August 2012, 76-year-old Elizabeth Coriat was found dead in her Forest Hill flat. She had been killed – and decapitated – by her own son, Daniel. He was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, known to mental health services, and had made disturbing statements about Elizabeth long before her death. Despite this, he was discharged and deemed low risk. No safeguarding. No crisis intervention. No support for Elizabeth. What happened to her wasn’t just a brutal act – it was the tragic end point of a system that ignored warning after warning. In this episode, we unpack how the mental health system failed both Elizabeth and Daniel, the gendered burden of care that mothers so often carry alone, and why these cases keep happening without national attention. Also, yes – we open with a bit of chaos. There’s accidental drinking, theatre trips, mum group antics, and the re-emergence of the word drinkage. But we get serious fast. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-21249495 https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/son-beheaded-witch-like-mother/29041747.html https://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/9616953.daniel-coriat-is-due-to-appear-at-the-old-bailey-charged-with-murdering-elizabeth-coriat/ https://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/9948055.forest-hill-man-denies-murder-of-his-mum-whose-decapitated-body-was-found-in-flat/ https://www.hundredfamilies.org/the-victims/london/ https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/01/29/daniel-coriat-beheaded-mother-elizabeth-looked-like-witch_n_2573253.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2269672/Paranoid-schizophrenic-decapitated-elderly-mother-thought-witch.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2270268/Naked-man-Daniel-Coriat-beheaded-mother-thought-witch-Hannibal-Lecter-noises-arrested-police.html https://www.femicidecensus.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Femicide-Census-Redefining-an-Isolated-Incident.pdf https://www.eastlondonlines.co.uk/2012/03/man-charged-over-forest-hill-murder/ https://kareningalasmith.com/2014/02/02/mother-killers/ https://www.femicidecensus.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2000-Women-full-report.pdf https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/mar/05/more-than-170-mothers-killed-by-sons-15-years-uk-report Support the show Thanks for tuning in!

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяIt’s Hannah’s birthday 🎉 and in true Sinister South fashion, we’re celebrating with one of the most devastating public transport disasters in British history. This week, we’re in Croydon. In 2016, a packed tram derailed at high speed on a tight curve at Sandilands. Seven people lost their lives. Dozens more were injured. But behind the headlines was a tangled mess of missed warnings, ignored safety recommendations, and a network that left no room for human error. It’s a story about a driver, a system with no safeguards, and a question that still hasn’t been answered: how did no one see it coming? We talk through the crash itself, the trial that followed, and why Rachel will never again tempt fate by saying anything positive out loud. There’s also a detour into the very specific kind of rage that comes from being tailgated by an undercover BMW-driving policeman on the A20.

They didn’t need getaway cars or sawn-off shotguns just a killer wardrobe and a razor-sharp plan. In this episode, we dive into the world of the Forty Elephants an all-women crime syndicate that ruled the streets and department stores of London from the late 1800s well into the 20th century. Based in the Elephant and Castle, these women weren’t just shoplifters they were organised, ruthless, and decades ahead of their time when it came to running a criminal empire. We’ll explore how the gang operated, why they were so successful for so long, and how their legacy challenges the idea that crime was just a man’s game. From high society parties to prison cells, this is the story of the women who stole with style and left a mark on London’s underworld that still fascinates today. We also talk about how podcasts with money make us sad...yeh you heard right...and how everyone knew a shoplifter in their previous life right??...

Tai O’Donnell was just 19. A music student with plans, talent, and a mum who adored him. In March 2021, Tai was murdered by his ex-girlfriend, Kamila Ahmad, in his flat in Croydon. She stabbed him in the leg, severing his femoral artery, then left him to die. In this episode, we talk about who Tai really was, what we missed, and how the system failed to see a pattern of violence until it was too late. This is a story about control, coercion, and how male victims of domestic abuse are still slipping through the cracks.

Was it suicide? A medical accident? Or did someone in the house have very good reason to want him gone? We unpack the tangled mess of coercive control, scandalous affairs, and courtroom chaos that surrounded the case – all while having a good old chat about St Patrick’s Day hangovers, questionable leprechaun museums, and Rachel’s blacklisting from a certain food delivery app (justice for Rach).

One burglar fled. The other, Henry Vincent, was fatally stabbed. But what followed was almost as shocking—the pensioner’s arrest, a furious public debate over self-defence laws, and a tense standoff between Vincent’s grieving family and the local community. In this episode, we break down the crime, the legal grey areas, and the bizarre fallout—including a funeral procession showdown, a police-protected pensioner, and a heated debate over whether justice was truly served. Plus, Hannah relives a particularly bad pub encounter that left her fuming, and nearly finds herself setting up an IT service desk just to get the Patreon live.

Right, before we get into this one, a quick heads-up - tech issues. The recording gods were not on our side, and there are a few little glitches in this episode. We’ve done what we can to tidy them up, but if you notice any weird jumps or crackles, just know we’re as annoyed as you are. Bear with us, we promise it’s worth it. Johanita Dogbey was just walking home when she was attacked in broad daylight by a man described as having a ‘hunter mentality’. No motive, no connection - just a terrifyingly random act of violence. It’s the kind of case that leaves you looking over your shoulder, wondering how something like this can even happen. We’ll take you through the investigation, what we know about the man responsible, and the lasting impact of his actions. Support the show Thanks for tuning in!

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяOn a warm August night in 2016, Oliver Dearlove was out with friends in Blackheath, South London, when a casual conversation with a stranger turned into an unthinkable tragedy. A single, unprovoked punch from a man he'd never met ended his life within seconds, shattering the world of those who loved him. In this episode, we discuss Oliver’s life, the dangers of one-punch attacks, and the devastating ripple effects of impulsive violence. But before we get to the heavy stuff, we take a detour through the chaotic landscape of our minds—covering everything from reframing toxic positivity, the questionable number of boiled eggs one person should consume in a day, and the weird yet undeniable power of a well-timed cherry drop. Expect the usual mix of serious discussion, gallows humour, and existential crises over breakfast foods.

One by one, elderly residents are found dead in their beds, strangled, their homes disturbed but not ransacked. The press dub him 'The Stockwell Strangler', and fear grips the city. Who was Kenneth Erskine, and what drove him to prey on the most vulnerable? Han takes us through a case that left South London in shock.

A flawless diamond, a gang of 'old school' crooks, and a JCB digger smashing through the Millennium Dome in Greenwich - what could possibly go wrong? In this episode, Rach takes us inside one of the most audacious (and utterly disastrous) heist attempts in British history - the 2000 Millennium Dome raid. A gang of career criminals set their sights on the Millennium Star, a £100m diamond that was too good not to go after! Armed with sledgehammers, smoke grenades and a construction vehicle, they stormed the Dome, believing they were moments away from unimaginable wealth. Instead? They walked straight into one of the most elaborate police stings ever executed - Operation Magician... We break down the gang's previous failed heists, the police's meticulous planning and the moment everything fell apart. Plus, fair warning - we were a little unhinged when recording this one, so expect some chaotic energy alongside the crime! Listen now for the heist that could have been legendary...if it hadn't been an absolute disaster.

In 2014, Tania Clarence, a devoted mother caring for three severely disabled children, reached an unimaginable breaking point. What led to this tragedy? How did a mother, battling exhaustion and isolation, fall through the cracks of a failing system? And what lessons can be learned from the serious case review that followed? This episode could be an incredibly difficult listen, and we won't be mad if you’re affected by discussions of mental health crises or child loss and decide against this one!

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяTrevors Episode 4 of Season 2 is here! In this episode, Rach tells us the story of the baffling case of Noel and Marie Brown, a father and daughter found murdered in Deptford, South London, under circumstances that seem more suited to a crime thriller than real life. Was Noel targeted because of his past? Was it a grudge, a gambling win gone wrong, or something else entirely? And how did Marie, a devoted mum just trying to check on her dad, end up caught in this grim scenario? With no signs of forced entry and a trail of theories that twist and turn like Deptford’s backstreets, we explore the investigation, the evidence, and the questions that still leave everyone scratching their heads.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяThis week, we delve into the life and baffling death of Christopher Marlowe, Elizabethan playwright, suspected spy, and Deptford's most controversial tavern guest. From his ground-breaking plays like Dr Faustus to the rumoured espionage and heretical whispers that surrounded his life, Marlowe was nothing if not intriguing. But was his death really just an overreaction to splitting the bill (or as we now call it, “The Reckoning”), or was there something far more sinister afoot? Rach and Han chat through the many theories—from political assassinations to espionage gone awry, and even the wild suggestion that Marlowe faked his own death and moonlit as Shakespeare. Naturally, there’s some side-questing into pubs that stood the test of time, why Deptford will always be iconic, and how to ensure your friends don’t murder you over mozzarella sticks. Pour yourself a drink, settle in, and join us for this romp through history. Edited and produced by Purple Waves Sound (Aka Will). Support the show Thanks for tuning in!

After some debate over whether Hannah is secretly joining a Juice Plus cult, we're diving into a case that's as shocking as it is heartbreaking: The Lambeth Slavery Case. This week, we're unravelling the story of Aravindan Balakrishnan - better known as "Comrade Bala" and his radical Maoist cult that turned into a house of manipulation and mind control in Brixton South London. For over three decades, three women lived under his psychological grip, isolated from the world, and subjected to cruelty disguised as ideology. We explore how political ideals spiralled into paranoid, control and abuse, the bravery it took to break free, and the system that allowed this to happen for so long. It's a story of strength, resilience and the ultimate fight for freedom.

Then, we dive deep into the case that shocked the nation: Damilola’s bright future, the devastating events of 27th November 2000, and the legacy his family created in his memory.

The story is nasty so trigger warning, and we're still not too clear on exactly why Sarah had to tragically lose her life!

From heart breaking failings to moments that make you question how things could go so wrong, we’ll be unpacking cases that hit close to home. As always, there’s plenty of our usual banter (because we can’t help ourselves), but also a lot to think about when it comes to how we can do better.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяThis week, we unravel the devastating case of Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman, two sisters whose lives were tragically stolen during what should have been a beautiful celebration. From their bond as sisters to the horrific failures that compounded their family’s grief, we explore it all—including a killer’s unhinged “demonic pact” and the unforgivable actions of certain officers who were supposed to protect and serve. But don’t worry, we start off light—venting about life’s infuriating little moments (looking at you, fire doors and car washes), and Hannah’s very pointed disapproval of Rachel’s excessive keyring collection. After the case, we shift gears with some good vibes, podcast updates, and the usual dose of chaotic chatter. Grab a drink (trust us, you’ll need it for this one) and join us as we tackle one of the hardest stories we've told, with a sprinkle of South London humour to keep us sane.
