In the media, the crimes were referred to as The Babes In The Wood murders. The bodies of Karen Hadaway and Nicola Fellows were found in woodland around Wild Park, a short distance from their home in Brighton. They had gone out to play together one day in October of 1986 but never came home…

“The prosecution say this was a persistent, very determined, very prolonged attack by the defendant. The prosecution say, quite simply, the defendant was a man who knew at all times what he was doing. His actions were clear and had one aim - prevent at all costs his wife leaving the house and seeking help” — Prosecutor Matthew Roberts, Swansea Crown Court, February 2021

“In the simplest of terms, assisted by her husband, she starved him to death, thereby securing for herself and her family the windfall she craved” - Oliver Saxby QC, Reading Crown Court, January 2020

One of the men reached into his pocket to get out the money to pay. He pawed at a wedge of £10 notes. The cashier noticed a large gold ring on one of his fingers and saw what she thought was blood above his knuckles. Maybe he had been fighting? The cashier then glanced up. There was no break in their polite conversation. The customer had not noticed her looking, or perhaps the shopper did not even know his hand was bloody...

In November 1995, Rose West was convicted of murdering 10 children, teenagers and young women. The public gallery at the trial was packed, onlookers cramped, shoulder to shoulder — there was barely any room to move, no more so than when Rose had offered evidence. One of those people who sat on the public benches was author Brian Masters…

PLEASE LISTEN TO ‘SEASON 6 - EPISODES 1, 2, 3 & 4’ FOR THE PREVIOUS PARTS OF THIS FIVE-PART CASE. On Tuesday, November 21, 1995, after two days of deliberation, the jury had finally made some progress on the murder charges they were considering. There were 10 in all, but so far, jurors were only able to reach verdicts for 2 of them. The accused, Rose West, stood in the dock. Tears hung heavy in her eyes. It felt like the onlookers in the public gallery were in a state of suspended animation — no movement, no sound, other than the voice from the foreman of the jury... (Part 5 of 5)

Born towards the end of September 1941 to parents Walter and Daisy West, Frederick Walter Stephen West was raised in the rural village of Much Marcle, surrounded by green rolling fields on the border of the tranquil south-Herefordshire countryside. Both his parents were seen as pleasant, hard-working people. From the outside in, Fred’s life was idyllic — time spent playing in the fields where his father made ends meet... (Part 4 of 5)

A great deal of anger in the media was directed at Rose West after her husband’s death. There was a sense that Fred West had escaped justice by taking his own life, and now, he would not have to answer for his crimes. The anger towards his widow was not tempered when it was reported that a unit of Winchester prison had been purpose-built for Rose while she would stand trial... (Part 3 of 5)

Each passing day, the increasing crowd of bystanders observed scene-of-crime officers, carrying box upon box of evidence out of the garden of 25 Cromwell Street, their boots heavy with mud, marking the tarmac outside... (Part 2 of 5)

When asked if they wanted to visit the property on Cromwell Street, the jury were unanimous in their decision. They were transported to the scene by bus. The windows were covered and jurors were told not to talk to anyone. The route they would make on foot, from the rear of the house, into the building, was shielded from view. It was vital the numerous camera crews still filming the property did not record the jury. They walked, single file, from the top of the home, moving down, floor by floor, until they reached the cellar and the horrors that were perpetrated within it. White ribbons marked where each body had been found... (Part 1 of 5)

‘They Walk Among Us’ returns for Season 6 on Wednesday, June 16, 2021.

The waters of the River Aire were in the process of being searched by divers from The West Yorkshire constabulary. Excavation work also continued around the flats where Stephen Griffiths lived in Holmfield Court on Thornton Road in Bradford. A collection of crossbow bolts, two crossbows, numerous bags and electronic equipment had been recovered from his home… (Part 3 of 3)

Stephen Griffiths was the man who ended Suzanne Blamires’ life. That was not something he could argue as he had been filmed on CCTV executing her with a crossbow. Suzanne’s remains were later found in the River Aire. Griffiths was also suspected of killing Susan Rushworth and Shelley Armitage. Their whereabouts were currently unknown… (Part 2 of 3)

The footage captured by a CCTV camera around 2:30 am, early that Saturday morning is grainy. It pictures a corridor on the third floor of a building. A male and a female are walking side by side. They enter one of the flats through the front door. Minutes later, the door flings open, and the woman is seen running as fast as she can... (Part 1 of 3)

Love, betrayal, jealousy and greed are themes that are as old as time. These emotions can dominate someone's thoughts and lead them to murder. But if they take a life, they seldom get away with it. So focused on the spoils of their ill-gotten gains, they think scarcely about the person that is gone or how the death will negatively impact the lives of the victim's loved ones. However, after their arrest, the murderer will have decades to think about what they have done in their prison cell, never seeing the financial or romantic gains they set out to attain…

A mother of two was brutally bludgeoned to death during the evening of August 31, 1995. Police at first believed the crime to be a burglary gone wrong. But when the focus of the investigation quickly turned to her surviving family, things took an even more insidious turn... (Part 2 of 2)

A mother of two is found bludgeoned to death in a suspected burglary gone wrong. The attack is barbaric. Blood spatter covers the ceiling. But in spite of the carnage, only a small sum of money has been stolen. Is a woman's life really worth the £100 that was reported missing? The attack shocks the quiet suburban neighbourhood as police struggle to find a suspect. Is this really a random attack, or is someone closer to home responsible?... (Part 1 of 2)

After conception, if a fertilised egg splits in two, it produces identical twins. They can share the same sac in the womb, rapidly growing, entwined with each other. Their DNA is almost identical, so similar in fact, it was, only until recently, impossible to tell them apart. When they are raised, they encounter many of life's milestones together; they go to the same school, know the same people, and often experience the same things. When they are grown, the twins might go their separate ways, but the intense bond they formed when they were young is still strong when they meet again. This is the case of Ursula and Sabina Eriksson…
