S12 Ep 1S12E01 | The Murder of Rachael Lean (Buxton, Norfolk, 1995)
EIn this episode, I tell the story of Rachael Lean, an 18-year-old killed near Buxton, Norfolk, in September 1995.Rachael's sudden disappearance on September 5, after missing a dinner appointment with her mum, prompted a five-day search. Last seen that afternoon chatting with Maria Hnatiuk outside the Naafi shop at RAF Coltishall, where her father worked, Rachael's body was eventually discovered on September 10, not far from the RAF station.Following Hnatiuk's arrest and questioning, she confessed to the crime, attributing it to diminished responsibility and placing the blame on her controlling boyfriend, Ian Wells. On November 28, 1996, Hnatiuk received a life sentence after being unanimously found guilty of murder by the jury at Norwich Crown Court.Join my Patreon community at patreon.com/britishmurders for exclusive perks, including early access to ad-free episodes, bonus content, exciting giveaways, and much more!The video version of this episode can be viewed at youtube.com/@britishmurders.
