In Maybole, Ayrshire, Ahmjid Ismail and his family ran a grocer’s shop, known locally as Johnny’s. Newly released from prison and a newcomer to the village, John McGeechan thought that robbing this store would be an easy way to give him the money to buy his next heroin fix. But the robbery went very wrong with 34 year old Ahmjid losing his life after being stabbed repeatedly. And then it was discovered that McGeechan had killed before....

Everyone like John Hirst. So much so he was even known at his home in Majorca as 'Nice John'. He was found in all the right clubs and at all the events where the wealthy ex-pats gathered on the Island. Perma-tanned John lived in an expensive villa with his wife Linda and they enjoyed a fantastic lifestyle  with all the trappings of success with many exotic holidays, designer clothes and jewellery, a luxury motor boat and two top of the range cars – an open topped sports car for Linda and a top of the range Mercedes for John. But this apparent success was all based on lies and deception, and as the financial markets declined, John fled back to the UK knowing that everything was about to come crashing down, ruining the lives of many of his friends who had trusted him with their money.

Kenny Carter was a world-class speedway rider known to his fans as 'King Kenny'. He was box office for the sport - outspoken, cocky and talented. Loved by his supporters, this view wasn't shared by many of his peers in the sport who tended to feel the same as this rider when talking about Kenny: “I admired him 100% as a rider, but as a person, I had no time for him at all’. But then one day Kenny made the headline news for reasons other than his riding - murder....

Paul and Paula Ramsden drove the hour or so south to Beachy Head for a picnic, which they enjoyed just feet from the cliff edge. Just before 5pm, they decided to head back to the car.

Detectives believed they had identified the murderer and when they entered the bedroom of 18 year old Danyal Hussein in south-east London, they found a handwritten note,  signed in his own blood, about how he had made a pact with a demon called 'Lucifuge Rofocale'. According to black magic, this demon is in charge of Hell's Government and Treasury by order of Lucifer.  The pact he had signed was to murder six women every six months in return for financial reward, including winning the lottery...

The story this week is from the north-east of England. Four teenage boys were found murdered in similar circumstances, but the police believed it was solvent abuse that caused their deaths and were unaware that there was a serial killer on the loose.

Carol Taggart's 30 year old son Ross reported his mum missing. He explained that they had argued at the house they shared and his mum had stormed out and he was concerned as this was out of character.

When Kenneth Noye faced trial for the murder of 21 year old Stephen Cameron, stabbed to death in front of his 17 year old fiancee Danielle Cable just by the M25 in Swanley, Kent, one of the witnesses was 40 year old Alan Decabral.

In the early hours of the morning, in Central Park in Plymouth, the bodies of Terry Sweet and Bernie Hawken were discovered lying just 200 yards apart in the park and it was clear that both had suffered a violent assault.

On the Friday, Suzanne Blamires went missing from her housing association home in the Allerton district of Bradford. Her family were immediately concerned for her welfare, but for the police Suzanne – or Amber as she was known on the streets - was a sex worker with a heroin habit and in a life that was often chaotic, they had little to go on. And by Monday Suzanne still hadn’t been found. But that morning, as the caretaker of a block of flats in Bradford watched his CCTV of the weekends activity, he saw to his horror Suzanne being brutally attacked....

This week, the Uk true crime podcast comes from the north-east of England, just by Durham. The A1 (M) is a busy motorway, and at 6.17pm on a summers day there were a few issues northbound due to an earlier fuel spillage. As the traffic slowed, none of the people in their cars patiently heading towards their destinations could have imagined that a 3.5 tonne lorry would not stop, and plough into the traffic, with terrible consequences.

The local pub near Cambridge were hosting a Halloween party. Chris and Rebecca West weren't planning to go, they fancied a quiet night in watching TV with a takeaway.

The international crime gang had planned everything, covered every detail. And as 33 year old Andrew Cole stood on the deck, he realised that his whole life depended on what happened in the next few hours. Andrew was listed as crew on the manifest, but his role was a very clear one – it was up to him to ensure the safe receipt, passage and transfer of the cocaine to a crew who were going to come out from the UK to take delivery of it near the English Channel. But as the Kahu reached the end of its journey from Barbados as it cruised past Guernsey, Andrew thought he heard a noise – or was it just his imagination playing tricks on him? He then clearly saw two vessels approach and to his horror he realised that is was the 42 metre Border Force cutter ‘Searcher’ along with the 19 metre coastal patrol vessel ‘Alert’. The gang had been rumbled.... Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast: https://uktruecrime.com Bloodhound Gin Please head to persiedistillery.com/uktc to find about more about UK True Crime
