British Murders with Stuart Blues

Stuart Blues

British Murders is a UK true crime podcast exploring both headline making investigations and lesser known cases that deserve to be remembered.


Hosted by Yorkshireman Stuart Blues, the show covers listener suggested cases from across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Each episode examines what happened, how the case unfolded, and the wider social, cultural, and historical context surrounding the crime.


The show covers British crime cases ranging from domestic abuse, coercive control, missing persons, policing failures, miscarriages of justice, and the long-term effects of violent crime on those left behind. With care, balance, and empathy, placing victims, not offenders, at the centre of every story, British Murders focuses on the human cost of murder and the lasting impact on families and communities. 


Alongside case deep dives, the podcast features conversations with journalists, authors, campaigners, and criminal justice professionals about responsible true crime storytelling.


New episodes every Thursday!

    Annie Walsh and the Wrongful Conviction of Robert Brown | Ep. 230

    In January 1977, a quiet Manchester neighbourhood was shaken by an act of sudden and brutal violence. Annie Walsh, a woman described by those who knew her as kind and unassuming, was found murdered inside her own flat. The scene left behind was one of extreme force, but very little clarity. What followed would become one of the most troubling chapters in British criminal justice. A teenage boy would be arrested, tried, and convicted of Annie’s murder, but years later, serious questions would emerge - not just about the evidence used to secure that conviction, but about whether the right person was ever in the dock at all. If you have any information about the murder of Annie Walsh, please contact Greater Manchester Police on 101, or reach out anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

    The Disappearance of British Backpacker Peter Falconio in the Australian Outback | Ep. 229

    In July 2001, the disappearance of British backpacker Peter Falconio on a remote stretch of Australia’s Stuart Highway became one of the most high-profile missing person cases in modern criminal history. The case drew international attention, sparked an enormous police investigation across the Australian Outback, and would later result in a murder conviction - despite the fact that Peter’s body has never been recovered. At the heart of the case is the survival of Peter’s girlfriend, Joanne Lees, whose account of what happened that night has been scrutinised, challenged, and debated for more than two decades. From questions around forensic evidence and memory, to the treatment of victims and the role of public opinion, the Falconio case continues to divide opinion and raise uncomfortable questions about justice, truth, and how certainty is reached when key answers remain missing.

    Danielle Reid and the Safeguarding Failures That Led to Her Death | Ep. 228

    In the early 2000s, the death of five-year-old Danielle Reid became one of the most disturbing child murder cases in Scottish criminal history. What began as concerns around neglect in Inverness would later expose a far more troubling picture, involving repeated warnings, unanswered calls, and safeguarding failures that, in hindsight, are difficult to comprehend. Danielle was a bright, affectionate little girl who had only just started her first term at a new school. Around her were adults and institutions who believed she was safe, or at least not in immediate danger. But behind closed doors, a very different reality was unfolding. What happened to Danielle raises uncomfortable questions about responsibility, child protection, and how vulnerable children can slip through the cracks, even when concerns are raised.

    Scotland’s Forgotten School Shooting: The Murder of Nanette Hanson | Ep. 227

    In November 1967, a gunman walked into a classroom at St John’s RC High School in Dundee. What unfolded that afternoon left a young teacher fatally wounded, a school traumatised, and a case that would echo through the Scottish justice system for decades. It became one of the most shocking crimes in Dundee’s history, yet one that is often reduced to a single moment, stripped of its wider consequences and complexities. At the heart of this case is Nanette Hanson, a 26-year-old newly married teacher remembered as gentle, dedicated, and fiercely protective of her pupils. But this story does not end with her death. It unfolds into a far broader and more troubling examination of violence, accountability, punishment, and how victims are remembered long after headlines fade.

    FROM THE ARCHIVES | Harold Shipman and the Patients He Killed

    Twenty-two years after Harold Shipman’s death, the consequences of his crimes still loom large over British medicine and public trust in GPs. In this remastered episode, I revisit a two-part series from my archives, now presented as one continuous story. This episode explores how Shipman abused his position as a trusted family doctor, the patients who were left vulnerable, and the failures that allowed his crimes to continue unchecked for decades. More than five decades on from the first confirmed murder, this case remains one of the most disturbing betrayals of trust in British criminal history.

    A Fiancé Killed in Cold Blood: Tracie Andrews and the Murder of Lee Harvey | Ep. 226

    On a winter’s night in December 1996, after a couple pulled into a lay-by in the West Midlands, the woman claimed they’d just been victims of a violent road rage attack. The man, her fiancée, lay dying from multiple stab wounds. What followed would become one of the most infamous murder cases in modern British criminal history - a case that split public opinion, dominated tabloid headlines, and introduced a narrative many were too quick to accept. For years, this case has been lazily labelled a so-called “femme fatale” murder - a phrase that risks turning a brutal killing into something stylised, even seductive. But strip away the media caricatures, the courtroom theatrics, and the mythology built around it, and what remains is the death of a young father, Lee Harvey, and a family left to grieve while the country argued over the person responsible.

    One Punch Killings at Christmas | True Crime Catch Up | Ep. 8

    Christmas parties are meant to be a time to unwind - a few drinks, familiar faces, and a break from the everyday routine - but the festive season also brings real and often overlooked dangers. In this episode of True Crime Catch Up, Adam and I explore the deadly reality of one-punch killings, where a split-second act of violence can end one life and permanently destroy another. We examine how these incidents typically unfold on nights out, the role alcohol plays, and whether sentencing for one-punch manslaughter truly reflects the harm caused. We also look at other risks that spike during the festive period, including fake taxi drivers and drink spiking. From offenders impersonating licensed cabbies to gain trust, to the growing number of spiking cases that never result in charges, we break down the methods used, the legal challenges involved, and the devastating impact on victims. Alongside real cases, we discuss prevention, public awareness and personal safety - asking whether more can be done to stop these crimes before tragedy strikes. True Crime Catch Up is a new weekly podcast in which we discuss the true crime stories that deserve your attention. Watch or listen every Wednesday as we unpick the stories that are gripping the nation, expose the details of untold misdemeanours and revisit the infamous crimes that made the headlines in years gone by.

    The Willenhall Christmas Tragedy: Remembering Lisa, Keighley and Demmy Higgins | Ep. 225

    On Christmas Eve 2003, a quiet residential street in Willenhall looked exactly how it should. Lights in the windows, presents under the tree, and two young sisters excitedly counting down the hours until Father Christmas arrived. By the end of the night, three lives were lost, and a close-knit community was left trying to understand how something so devastating could happen inside what appeared to be a happy family home. As police began piecing together the final hours of Lisa Higgins and her daughters, Keighley and Demmy, a very different picture started to emerge. One that revealed hidden fear, carefully made plans, and a truth that only came to light once it was far too late. This is a story about what we see, what we miss, and how danger can exist behind closed doors, even during the most celebrated time of the year. Just to clarify: throughout this episode I pronounce Keighley as “Keith-ley”, based on how the town in West Yorkshire is said. I grew up nearby, so I defaulted to that pronunciation without a second thought. I’ve since been made aware that Keighley’s name may be pronounced differently, and if that’s the case, I’m genuinely sorry. Thank you for your understanding. If you’re experiencing domestic abuse and feel frightened of, or controlled by, a partner, an ex-partner or family member, it’s important to remember that it’s not your fault, and there is no shame in seeking help.

    A Christmas Tragedy in Cardiff: The Geraldine Palk Story | Ep. 224

    In December 1990, a young woman walked the final few yards towards her home in Cardiff, but never made it through the front door. What happened in those final moments remains one of the most unsettling mysteries South Wales Police had ever faced, sparking an investigation that would stretch across an entire decade. When 26-year-old Geraldine Palk failed to return home after her work’s Christmas party, her friends were confused, her family was worried, and within hours whispers began spreading through Fairwater. As detectives traced her last known movements through busy nightspots, taxi queues, and the quiet residential streets she knew so well, a far darker story began to surface. One involving frantic appeals, national TV reconstructions, an unidentified man seen running from the crime scene, and a tiny piece of evidence that would, years later, prove crucial.

    A Troubled Home: The Murder of Eleanor Harrison | Ep. 223

    In April 1996, a quiet council estate in Falkirk became the centre of one of Scotland’s most unsettling domestic murder investigations. When 35-year-old Eleanor Harrison suddenly disappeared, friends, neighbours, and relatives were left searching for answers, and detectives quickly realised her absence was far from ordinary. What followed was a deeply disturbing inquiry that exposed a volatile home life, a fractured mother-son relationship, and allegations that painted a far darker picture than anyone first imagined. As forensic officers worked through the flat and witnesses began to come forward, the truth behind Eleanor’s disappearance became increasingly chilling.

    Five-Year Anniversary Special: Listener Q&A

    Five years ago today, on December 3, 2020, I released the first three episodes of British Murders. I had no idea what I was doing, no audience other than family and friends, no clue whether anyone would even listen. And yet here we are, half a decade later, still going strong. So, to mark the show’s five-year anniversary, I wanted to do something a bit different. This episode isn’t a deep dive into a case, there’s no script, and no big narrative. It’s just me, chatting through my listener’s questions and peeling back the curtain for anyone who’s curious about what actually goes on behind the scenes of a true crime podcast.

    An Unthinkable Crime: The Murder of Mabel Leyshon | Ep. 222

    In November 2001, a crime unlike anything North Wales had seen before shattered the quiet Isle of Anglesey. Inside her cosy bungalow, 90-year-old Mabel Leyshon was discovered murdered in circumstances so disturbing that even veteran detectives struggled to comprehend what they had found. What unfolded next became one of Wales’s most unsettling investigations: a bizarre crime scene, an urgent public appeal, and a growing sense of fear within a community that had always felt safe. As rumours spread and national media descended, two questions dominated every conversation: Who could have done this - and why?

    Five years ago, convicted serial killer Anthony Hardy died in prison while serving a Whole Life Order, a sentence he received after murdering Sally White, Elizabeth Valad and Bridgette Maclennan in the London Borough of Camden.

    In April 1987, 26-year-old Shani Warren was last seen driving in Buckinghamshire during an ordinary Easter weekend. The next day, her body was discovered in a lake, shocking her family and community. The circumstances of her death left investigators puzzled, and despite their efforts, the case quickly went cold. Decades later, advances in forensic science and persistent police work finally brought Shani's killer to justice. This is the story of her life, the tragedy that haunted those who loved her, and the relentless pursuit of truth that refused to be forgotten.

    In early 2005, Nottingham was gripped by fear as three women lost their lives in a series of brutal killings that shocked the city. First was 25-year-old Ellen Frith, whose body was discovered in a derelict flat that had been set on fire. Just weeks later, 18-year-old Katie Baxter and 26-year-old Zoe Pennick were found dead in eerily similar circumstances - both victims of unimaginable violence. In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, I explore one of Nottingham’s darkest chapters - a story of addiction, vulnerability, and a man who boasted about becoming the city’s first serial killer.
