Peter Lee was a respected businessman who had built one of the North East's largest bus companies - looking in from the outside, he had it all. But behind the scenes, he was secretly stealing hundreds of thousands of pounds from his own business to fund an obsession with a London sex worker.
As the deception grew, so did the consequences. What began as a fantasy would eventually lead to criminal charges, a prison sentence, the collapse of his company and the loss of hundreds of jobs. In this episode, I examine the extraordinary rise and fall of Peter Lee, and how one man's obsession destroyed everything he had worked to build.
I will be back with a bonus episode of the UK True Crime Podcast on Sunday when I chat to the legendary Forensic Pathologist, Dr Richard Shepherd - please join me for that and then the next regular episode on Tuesday.

From South Wales, I look at the tragic case of 20 year old Matthew Boyd, a young soldier whose night out in Brecon ended in devastating violence. I follow the events of that evening, the investigation that followed, and the court case that revealed what really happened. It's a shocking and tragic story which once again shows how a few moments of violence can change many lives forever.

Behind the polished world of high finance was a trader accused of helping manipulate one of the world’s most important interest rates. This episode explores the rise and fall of Tom Hayes, the former City trader at the centre of the LIBOR scandal, examining the culture of banking, the pursuit of profit, and the global investigation that followed. Was Hayes a rogue operator, or a scapegoat for a broken financial system?

It was a small village in Hertfordshire, where very little ever disturbed the peace - certainly not the kind of brutal violence that unfolded when retired Army Colonel Robert Workman was shot dead on his own doorstep.
Robert was an old-fashioned military man: well spoken, private, proud, and known for his calm and easy-going nature. He lived a quiet life and had no obvious enemies. So when news spread that he had been murdered outside his own home, the question on everyone’s mind was chillingly simple - who could possibly have wanted him dead, and why?

In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast from the north-west of England, I cover the devastating murder of Elle Edwards - an innocent young woman caught in the crossfire when gun violence erupted outside a busy pub.
What began as a normal night out ended in chaos within seconds, leaving a family shattered and an entire community searching for answers. Detectives launched a major investigation as CCTV footage, forensic evidence and witness accounts were pieced together to uncover exactly what happened. I explore the events leading up to the shooting, the hunt for the gunman and the court case that followed, in a case that shocked Merseyside and the wider UK.
I release episodes every Tuesday and Friday, so please join me on Tuesday for the next episode of the UK True Crime Podcast.

Between January 2022 and December 2024, 65,053 arson offences were recorded across the UK police forces that provided data - yet only 4.83% of these cases resulted in charges. Arson is a terrifying and often deadly crime with incredibly low conviction rates.
In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at the case of Stefan Geary and a series of arson offences that affected communities across the North East. I examine the police investigation, the evidence presented in court, and the impact the fires had on local residents and emergency services. The episode also explores Geary’s background and the circumstances that led to his conviction.

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with legendary ex-detective Colin Sutton to talk about his new TV Series:
Confessions of a Serial Killer: Levi Bellfield - available to stream on Prime Video from 25 May.
In this series, Colin and his team re-examine the claims of serial killer Levi Bellfield, whose repeated and conflicting confessions to the 1996 murders of Lin and Megan Russell have reignited one of the country’s most controversial cases. With another man still serving life sentences for the crime, this series unravels a complex web of evidence, doubt and deception, asking whether Bellfield is manipulating the system from behind bars. This is one series you really don't want to miss.
I hope you enjoy my chat with Colin and I'll be back on Tuesday with the next episode of the UK True Crime Podcast.

For many people living on the fringes of society, long-term plans often give way to simply surviving day by day. It can be a world shaped by addiction, instability and violence - as seen in today’s case from Bournemouth on England’s south coast.
After human body parts were discovered in different areas of the town, a major police investigation led detectives to a cramped one-bedroom flat shared by three vulnerable people living chaotic lives dominated by drugs, alcohol and financial hardship. As tensions inside the flat spiralled out of control, the situation turned deadly, ending in a shocking and brutal murder.

A crime with no victims, just the faceless banks. Or is that ever really the case?
Elliot Castro was one of the most prolific fraudsters in the UK, starting from a very early age where he stole identities and credit card details to fund a life of luxury across the world. From five-star hotels to designer shopping sprees, Castro lived under countless false identities while staying one step ahead of authorities for years. But behind the glamour was a deeply compulsive double life built on deception, manipulation and fraud.
In this episode, I look at how Elliot Castro became one of the UK’s most notorious conmen - and how his extraordinary criminal career finally came crashing down.

Kevin Weaver was in his early twenties but he wasn't enjoying life at all. He had been suffering from depression for a long time, drinking heavily and he missed his finance - despite being split for two years he couldn't accept it was really over.
Then one morning, he woke up and decided that this was the day he was going to kill...

What began as a celebration ended in devastating violence.
Pat Howard and Adam Fanelli were killed after a baby shower in Houghton Regis spilled out onto the street, where a confrontation escalated rapidly into a brutal and sustained attack. In front of multiple witnesses, the violence intensified - culminating in the use of both a vehicle and a knife. Along with Adam Fanelli, who was trying to defuse the situation, Pat suffered fatal injuries in a case which shocked the community.
Investigators reconstructed the events through CCTV, witness accounts, and forensic evidence, revealing a deliberate and relentless assault. In this podcast I look at events leading up to the two murders, the police investigation and how those responsible were brought to justice.
The events of that night remain a stark reminder of how quickly a minor argument can spiral out of control into shocking violence.

50-year-old Robert Powell was brutally murdered outside a party in Essex in what investigators believed was a planned, targeted hit - carried out in front of his two sons. A truly shocking and deeply distressing crime.
Thanks to determined and meticulous police work, the main suspect, Nana Oppong (pictured), was tracked down after fleeing the UK immediately after the killing. He travelled to Spain, before attempting to cross into Morocco hidden in the back of a lorry, using a fake Maltese passport. He was intercepted at Tangier Port and returned to the UK to face justice.
Oppong later stood trial for Powell’s murder - but his courtroom history added a dramatic twist. On three previous occasions, he had faced murder charges…and been acquitted every time. Would this be the fourth?

A gang of experienced criminals set out to pull off what would have been one of the biggest robberies in British history - targeting a priceless diamond exhibition inside London’s Millennium Dome. Armed with sledgehammers, a nail gun, and a speedboat for their escape, the plan was bold, fast, and meticulously organised.
But what the gang didn’t know was that detectives from the Metropolitan Police were already watching their every move. This is the story of the infamous Millennium Dome heist - an audacious plot that came within moments of success before being dramatically foiled.

In the late 1970's, LSD was big in Cambridge University's radical academic fringe, inspired by LSD pioneer Timothy Leary. He had a strong belief that the drug broadened the mind and could transform society and make it better for all of us. Henry Todd got very much into this scene and then started his own LSD lab, producing huge quantities of the stuff.
In the episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at the undercover police operation 'Operation Julie' soon had Henry Todd and others making and selling LSD under surveillance, and how Todd later made the unusual move into high altitude mountaineering.

The story this week returns to Paisley, near Glasgow. It had been a great day for Laura Connelly as she caught up with some old school friends she hadn't see for a while at the bar, and at approaching 2am, she left to walk the mile or so to her home. But tragically, Laura didn't ever come home as she was attacked and murdered almost in sight of her home.
In this episode of the UK true Crime Podcast I look at just what happened to Laura and follow the police investigation to find her killer.

The story today comes from Swansea and looks at the case of Brian Whitelock, a man who was sent to prison for murder and manslaughter. Despite the appeals against his release from the families of his victims who feared he wasn't safe to be in the community, Whitelock was released from prison back to live in Swansea.

Cornwall isn't the sort of place you associate with large scale drug imports from South America, IRA terrorists and murder. But in this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, we hear a story that involved all of these things. When detectives quizzed local farmer Ross Stone about cannabis being grown on his farm, they could never expected that he would reveal that two missing men - Brett Flournoy & David Griffiths were also buried there. But was he responsible for the killings?
Back in January 2024, I covered this story, but today I have just heard that one of the key people in the story was found dead in their prison cell last month. In light of this latest development, I’ve decided to re-release this episode today.
