Hidden Homicides: Recent Episodes

Louise Tickle and Tortoise Media

In this series we tell the shocking stories of women whose possible homicides go unrecognised, and uncounted, by police. In the UK, we’re told that two women a week are killed by a current or former partner – but these are just the killings we know about. The true toll could be much, much higher. In Hidden Homicides, investigative reporter Louise Tickle uncovers harrowing cases of killers missed, of grieving families ignored by police, of a body left to decay in a hospital morgue, and of systemic police failings. It is produced by Tortoise Studios. To learn more, go to tortoisemedia.com/hiddenhomicides.

It's an extension of Louise Tickle's Hidden Homicides reporting and a story she has worked on for over three years.

Will an inquest jury conclude, for the first time, that a woman who took her own life was actually killed?

From the makers of Hidden Homicides, comes Fallen Women, this week's episode of The Slow Newscast by Tortoise

Twenty-seven women. Falling. Off balconies, out of windows, from the top of multi-storey carparks. And there, in most of the cases, is a man, standing in the shadow of her fall. What if these women didn’t just fall, but were pushed?
