The tenth level of the Tate Modern has a viewing balcony where visitors can take in scenic views of the city. It was also a place to pick up some refreshments. Children with endless energy and enthusiasm ran around. Not many people took notice of the 17-year-old loitering. Later, when CCTV footage was analysed, it was evident that he had trailed behind some children, intermittently peering over the railings, seemingly to look at the hard concrete, ten floors below…

Ben John stood before a jury at Leicester Crown Court. The 21-year-old denied all seven of the charges he faced. John had been arrested around a year and a half earlier after the authorities had raided his flat in January 2020. Counter-Terrorism Policing East Midlands had been monitoring his online activity for some time. Although he was later released, an investigation by a Special Branch of Lincolnshire Police took most of the year with a team of forensic investigators trying to bring to light the dark secrets of Ben John’s digital life…

But the couple, who rarely socialised with anyone else, were not living the life of Riley. Far from it… (Part 2 of 2).

It was puzzling, to say the least. Following a tip-off, officers from the Nottinghamshire constabulary were dispatched to an address on Blenheim Close. Located in Forest Town, a former mining village in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, the brick-built semi-detached two storey home sits on the corner of a quiet cul-de-sac close to public walkways and green grassland. On that autumn day in 2013, officers slowly filtered through the backdoor into the garden… (Part 1 of 2).

Proving once again that true crime is not just a modern fascination, a crowd had amassed early at 4 am on that winter morning of December 6, 1922, desperate to witness the trial. Members of the public pushed and prodded as they fought to get in. Every spectator was hopeful of gaining a ringside seat in the courtroom. Some people paid for the privilege, handing over large sums of cash, which would be £250 in today's money…

“You behaved how you did despite the serious nature of the charge your sons faced and persisted in attempts to give them a false alibi for two months. Not even a mother is entitled to lie with impunity to save her sons who she knows to have been involved in a terrible crime” — Judge Clement Goldstone QC, Liverpool Crown Court, April 2013

After school, Shelley’s children got onto the bus, but unusually their mother was not waiting for them at the end of the journey.

An 18-year-old student goes missing after a night out clubbing. Almost a week would elapse before his body was discovered in a river eight miles from where he was last seen being chased by a gang of youths. Arrests were made, and a trial date was set. But why did he die?…

Patrick Mackay was arrested in March 1975. He was suspected of murdering Isabella Griffiths, Adele Price and Father Anthony Crean. But while he was being held on remand in Brixton prison, Mackay told a fellow inmate he was locked up for murdering 11 people. He repeated this story to anyone that would listen including inquiring officers. Perhaps it was just a boastful claim. However, it was curious considering Mackay was awaiting trial for three murders. Who were these other victims? (Part 2 of 2).

Before he passed away, Harold whispered to his 10-year-old son Patrick, "Remember to be good” (Part 1 of 2).
