In this episode I will take you back to the 1970’s and the murder of a devoted mother and wife, committed in broad daylight as she undertook her 8 minute walk to work. it would take 23 years to bring her killer to justice. In that time speculation regarding who had committed the crime would spread, was it her husband, or maybe a local sex offender? Or had she been a victim of Peter Sutcliffe, AKA the Yorkshire Ripper? Join me as I delve into the case of Mary Gregson.

During the 1940's and 1950s there were a series of cases that involved children in the vicinity of Wigan, some of which remain unsolved to this day. While another perpetrated by Norman Green would be the case that became Albert Pierrepoint's final execution. Join me as I explore the solved and unsolved cases, and what led to the most recognisable executioner in British history hanging up his noose.

Ruth Ellis was the last woman to be hanged in England, but her story was not a simple one, with it being likely that experiences she had throughout her life may have contributed towards her actions on Easter Sunday 1955.

At the conclusion of Timothy Evans' trial, his mother confronted John Christie, branding him a murderer to which his wife Ethel responded “Don’t you dare call my husband a murderer, he’s a good man.”
I wonder how much Ethel truly believed these words as she spoke them, whether deep down she had a gnawing suspicion that something was wrong, that just yards from her bedroom window lay the bodies of two women, and that within 3 years of Evans’ trial she too would die at her husbands hand.
Join me I as I explore the life of Ethel Christie.

At the time of his execution few had sympathy for Timothy Evans’ plight, after all he had been charged with the murders of his pregnant wife and 13 month old daughter. Add to this reports that he had been verbally and physically abusive to his wife throughout their marriage, on the surface he appeared to be the type of person the death penalty had been designed for, in that it removed a violent and dangerous individual who posed a threat to the public. However three years after his execution, new revelations would call into question whether he should have gone to the noose.
Join me as I delve into the story of Timothy Evans, and the murders of his wife Beryl and daughterGeraldine.

Albert Pierrepoint’s life and career spanned some of the most pivotal moments in history, with him carrying out the executions of some of the 20th century’s most notorious criminals.

Join me for this series of episodes during which I shall chronicle Albert’s life as one of Britain’s last executioners and the changing attitudes to capital punishment with each episode focusing on one case in which Albert was called upon to deliver the final sentence.

In this first episode I shall delve into the history of capital punishment including the roles of Albert’s predecessors their experiences, and some of their most notable executions.

At the age of 8 Gary Allen was already showing violent and disturbing behaviour, which continued into adulthood, with his developing a deep rooted hatred for women, particularly sex workers.
In 2000 he would be charged and acquitted of murder, but would a change in the law, and amendments to the information jurors can be provided lead to him being brought to justice.?

On the 22nd of May 2017, excited fans attended a concert at the Manchester Arena, a night which promised to be made of incredible memories became a nightmare, as a bomb tore through the foyer injuring hundreds and claiming the lives of 22 people.

Today I wish to respectfully mark the 5th anniversary, by praising the people of Manchester, and remembering those who were affected by the bombing.

Rest in peace

In this episode I explore the case of a Buck Ruxton who tried to run from his past, changing his identity, and presenting the image of a respectable doctor, yet behind the façade was a man consumed by jealousy, whose paranoid mind would drive him to murder.

Is the Manchester Pusher real, or an urban legend born from the need to explain the unexplained deaths that have occurred in the waterways of Manchester.
In todays episode I take a closer look at a number of these deaths, and explore the circumstances surrounding them, while hopefully providing insight into the nature of Manchester and its waterways.

Hello my lovely northerners, thank you for your support while the show has been on hiatus. During the break, I rewrote episode 59, and therefore I am combining it with episode 60 so you can listen to both parts without a break.
Here is the case of Beverley Allit the killer nurse.

My podcast of the week is Thrice Cursed.

As podcasters, we have a platform and duty to speak up and call out injustice. In light of the murder of George Floyd, we have come together in solidarity to use our platform to speak up against racial injustice and amplify the voices of black podcasters that deserve more recognition. Racism is prevalent in all industries; from the media who under-report on black victims to the justice system which routinely fails black victims. In this collaborative episode, we document black history and current events with the voices of those who have lived through it.Special thanks to: Tasha from Sinister Silhouettes https://linktr.ee/tcbytb Andre and Battle from Bruh Issa Murder https://linktr.ee/Bruhissamurder Serena from Handcuffed Podcast https://linktr.ee/handcuffedpodcast Aaron from True Crime?

Donald Neilson AKA the Black Panther murdered five people in the 1970s, however it is the kidnap and murder of 17 year old Lesley Whittle that made him infamous. Sadly because of this, the three other people who lost their lives to this ruthless killer, are often just footnotes in the story, so this episode is dedicated to Derek Astin, Donald Skepper, and Sidney Grayland.Part two will focus on Lesley Whittle, and part three will cover, Donald Neilson. if you can't wait till next Sunday, the episode is now available on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/ItsmurderupnorthMy podcast of the week, is Happy Hour Gets Weird.sources for this episode.Aberdeen Press and Journal - Wednesday 07 July 1976With thanks to D.C.Thomson & Co.
