Michael O'Brien spent 11 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. His case, the Cardiff Newsagent Three, was one of several with a "common thread" - a vulnerable person being cajoled into a confession upon which South Wales Police built a flawed case. In this special episode I interview him at length about the case and about how he coped in prison and upon his release. He has triumphed over adversity and become a prominent campaigner against miscarriages of justice.

In today's episode I have an exclusive interview with John Burke-Monerville who has the unwanted distinction of being the father of three sons who were all murdered - in 1994, 2013 and 2019 - in London. But as if John's story was not tragic and shocking enough, it has emerged in recent years that he and his family were spied on for years by undercover officers.

In today's episode I visit the Metropolitan Police Museum, where they have artefacts from 150 years of crime. I interview Dr Clare Smith, the museum's curator, about the collection and focus on "The Brides in the Bath" case in 1915, which involved a bigamous serial killer who managed to turn bathtubs into murder weapons. The interview took place in the same room as an exhibition which includes one of the bathtubs (pictured).

Tommy Silverstein - one of the leaders of the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang in the United States - killed three men behind bars in the space of two years, one of whom was a prison guard. The federal Bureau of Prisons reacted by locking him up in solitary for decades. 20 years ago I wrote to Silverstein in a supermax prison. Find out what happened next in this episode, in which I tell the full story of "Terrible Tommy" Silverstein and the Aryan Brotherhood.

In today's episode I interview Lee Marvin Hitchman, who was born in a prison and taken into care as a baby. He explains the terrible reputation of his birth father Eric Rogers - which includes supposedly taking part in the killing of PC Keith Blakelock in the Broadwater Farm riots in 1985 - and recounts how his dad had bragged about forcing women into taking drugs and going on the game. We go into a bit of detail about how Eric was killed in his flat in 2024 but ended on a brighter note, talking about how Marvin turned his own life around.

In January 2002 Jacqueline Nyeko, 24, went missing, leaving behind a young daughter, Lexi. Three days later her body was found - with horrific injuries - in a bin store on an estate in Kennington, south London. All these years later the case is still unsolved. I recently interviewed Jacqueline's uncle, Samuel Olara, about her and why he believes her murder can still be solved. This is his first interview with any media.

Lola Doll is a sexy and popular singer and influencer in Guyana, so why was she shot in September 2025? Today's episode is all about drugs, corruption and politics in Guyana, a former British colony on the Caribbean coast of South America. Spoiler alert - Lola Doll survived the shooting and at the end of the episode she points the finger at the man she believes was behind it.

Fifty years ago a couple in their 50s were sitting in their council flat, not far from London's West End, watching an episode of Kojak when four armed IRA desperadoes burst in. It would turn into a six-day siege - which was broadcast on the nation's television screens - one of the most dramatic events of The Troubles. In this episode I explain who the Balcombe Street gang was and what role some peaches and cream played in the ending of the siege. The episode also features expert analysis by Oisin Feeney, host of The Troubles podcast.
