We head back to the late 1990’s, and to the town of Warrington, in Cheshire, this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for a sordid tale of sex, deceit – and brutal, pre-meditated murder. In fact, it’s a tale that could almost be a television drama, certainly something scripted – and indeed, it has it’s genesis in the theatre.
It’s one you likely won’t forget in a hurry, either.
The episode contains details and descriptions of a crime and events, involving details of a sexual nature, that some listeners may find offensive, disturbing, and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
