Redhanded

In the first of this two-part episode, we take you through Chikatilo’s early years, the horrors he lived through in Nazi-occupied Ukraine, and how the surrounding chaos turned him into one of the most prolific serial killers in history.

In 2021, a 51-year-old man referred to as “Daddy” by the followers of his alleged sex cult, was found guilty of 8 counts of sex trafficking. Breaking any of Daddy’s rules would result in brutal punishment; including beatings, solitary confinement, and starvation.  “Daddy” kept his victims – most of them teenagers – locked up in his mansion. And all the while, he was topping music charts across the world with his era-defining R&B hits… This is the story of the rise and fall of Robert Sylvester Kelly.

On 22 May 2017, as Ariana Grande hit the high notes of her final song to a sold-out Manchester Arena, Salman Abedi hit the button on a homemade bomb. The resulting explosion killed Abedi and 22 other innocent people, and left over 1,000 more injured.  The country mourned, millions of pounds were raised, and we all promised not to let hate win. But as the dust settled, a worrying question started being asked: how did a known terrorist sympathiser who had fought alongside an ISIL militia slip through the UK’s counterterrorism net?

Cowboys, private eyes, poisonings, bomb plots, shootings, and the birth of the FBI. This is the story of how in the 1920s, one Native American tribe became the richest human beings per capita in the world and the diabolical conspiracy that led to hundreds of their people being murdered in cold blood.

If the contents of a 546-page book can get one man murdered, two more seriously injured and its author forced into hiding for nine years, you can be confident of its subject: religion. But despite its reputation, ‘The Satanic Verses’ isn’t a page-by-page deconstruction of Islam. It’s a work of fiction; one that prompted the leader of Iran to call for a worldwide manhunt of anyone involved in its publication.  So how did one man’s literary skill get another man literally killed?

When police rushed to respond to a triple murder in one of South Africa’s most exclusive gated communities, it seemed as though Henri van Breda had had a lucky escape. They found him standing on his family lawn, dead-eyed and covered in blood and urine. According to the neighbours, he had been eerily waving to them while he waited for the police. All understandable, when three of your loved ones have been hacked to death by an axe-wielding maniac. But as police dug further into the burglary-turned-homicide, things just weren't adding up...

What would you do if you put in all the hard work, pushing yourself to the pinnacle of your sport, and you still didn’t get the recognition you deserved? Would you give up?  Would you take matters into your own hands and get a bitch kneecapped as she walked back to her changing room? Or would your ex-husband do it and throw you under the bus?

On the 13th of February 2017, two young women - believing that they were taking part in a bizarre Japanese game show -  smeared baby oil across the face of a stranger at Kuala Lumpur Airport in Malaysia.   The truth, however, was that there was no Japanese game show; the baby oil wasn't baby oil; and these two women had just unknowingly assassinated the estranged half-brother of North Korea's one and only, Supreme Leader, Kim Jong Un.

In the space of 3 weeks in October 2002, Washington D.C was terrorised by a pair of spree killers carrying out a spate of deadly sniper-style attacks. They killed 10 people and injured 3 others. Their choice of victims was shockingly random; they crossed racial, gender, age and socioeconomic lines - ensuring that everyone was absolutely terrified. And when the pair were finally apprehended, authorities realised that they had been wrong about almost everything from motive to profile… Check us out on this week’s episode of Let’s Not Meet Podcast too!

On the 14th of April 1984, the body of a baby boy was found on Cahersiveen Beach, County Kerry in Ireland. The baby had been stabbed 28 times and its neck was broken. The Garda quickly found a suspect; Joanne Hayes. And soon, this police investigation became a medieval witch hunt and a dissection of motherhood itself.
