The Silent Twins / June & Jennifer Gibbons - Part 2

WARNING: THIS IS PART TWO OF A TWO-PART STORY. PLEASE LISTEN TO SEASON 2 - EPISODE 10 FOR MORE DETAILS ON THIS CASE. 

Jennifer and June Gibbons were twins. They would shut themselves away in their bedroom, not coming down for meals, and even when they did, they would barely acknowledge their family. All this changed in the summer of 1981, but their actions would lead them to the gates of Broadmoor psychiatric hospital and a cocktail of antipsychotic medication… (Part 2 of 2). 

*** LISTENER CAUTION IS ADVISED ***

This episode was researched and written by Benjamin Fitton. 

Narration, audio editing and production direction also by Benjamin Fitton. Script editing, illustrations and production direction by Rosanna Fitton.
