I welcome former undercover cop Danni Brooke to the show in this interview episode.⁣For over a decade, Danni was one of the most effective female undercover cops in the UK, one of a minimal number of women in the Met’s elite unit. She was so successful at taking down criminals that she was seconded to forces around the country.Whether infiltrating organized crime gangs or disrupting drug supply lines, Danni played the innocent Essex girl, fooling even the most suspicious villains, using her quick wits to keep her out of trouble. She loved the job, but the pressures of her work and trying to balance the long hours with being a mother, were to take a toll on her personal life.Now retired as a police officer, Danni has enjoyed a successful television career and is booked as a keynote speaker for various corporate events.Danni is also famed for her role as a Hunter on 'Hunted' and 'Celebrity Hunted' for Channel 4.In her memoir, 'The Girl for the Job', Danni reveals why she left the police, how she found a new career (and love) on C4’s 'Hunted', and why the thrill of covert work still pulls her into private investigations.'The Girl for the Job' was released on March 2, 2023, and is available to purchase here:The Girl for the Job | Pan MacmillanFor all things British Murders, please visit my website:https://www.britishmurders.com/Intro music:David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet'https://linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusic Learn more about your ad choices.

In this off-season episode, I'm joined by Grace Cordell of REDRUM and HUMANS, who will tell me (and you) the story of the hijacking of EgyptAir Flight 648.On November 23, 1985, a Boeing 737-200 airliner was hijacked on its Athens-to-Cairo route by three terrorists - Salem Chakore, Omar Rezaq and Nar Al-Din Bou Said.The plane was forced to land at Luqa Airport in Malta due to serious pressurization problems and dangerously low fuel levels.A subsequent raid on the aircraft by Egyptian troops killed 56 of the 86 passengers, 2 of the 3 hijackers and 2 of the 6 crew members.Until 9/11, the hijacking of EgyptAir Flight 648 was considered the most infamous in aviation history.You can find and support 'REDRUM and HUMANS' here:REDRUM | Apple PodcastsREDRUM | SpotifyHUMANS | YouTubeFor all things British Murders, please visit my website:https://www.britishmurders.com/Intro music:David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet'https://linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusicRecorded using:ZencastrEdited in:Hindenberg PRO Learn more about your ad choices.

In the sixth volume of Killer British Murder Stories, Bobbie Holmes of Killer Stories tells me the story of Alexandra Pesic's murder.Former beauty queen and dental assistant Alexandra met a fellow Yugoslavian woman named Jelka Pesic whilst attending an open house with her mum in Vancouver, Canada.Alexandra was soon introduced to Jelka's son, Joe, and the pair went on to marry.Jelka was an overbearing "monster-in-law", making life extremely difficult for Alexandra. Finally, things got so bad that Alexandra divorced Joe and was granted custody of their son, Brandon.Inspired by the plot of a true crime book focusing on the murder case of Cindy James, Jelka planned the murder of Alexandra with the help of hitmen Milan Nenadic and David Segoviano.Jelka, Milan and David all received life sentences for Alenxadra's murder, which equates to 25 years in Canada.You can find and support 'Killer Stories' here:https://linktr.ee/KillerStoriesFor all things British Murders, please visit my website:https://www.britishmurders.com/Intro music:David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet'https://linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusicRecorded using:ZencastrEdited in:Hindenberg PROBobbie's References:www.britishmurders.com/alexandrapesic/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In the season 7 special, I tell the story of Dr Harold Shipman, dubbed by the media as "Dr Death".Shipman was arrested on September 7, 1998, after police raided his home.The body of Kathleen Grundy, one of Shipman's former patients, was exhumed and examined after her daughter deemed it suspicious that her mother's will excluded her children but left a large sum to Shipman.Kathleen's body was found to contain traces of diamorphine, which contradicted her death being the result of old age as stated on her death certificate written by, you guessed it, Dr Harold Shipman.In total, Shipman was convicted of murdering 15 people, but the frightening reality is that his victim count is thought to be more than 250.In the first episode of this two-part special, I discussed Shipman's early life and background, his journey to becoming a GP with his own practice and what is thought to be his first-ever murder. ⁣This week, I'll discuss the murders he was convicted of, the trial and its aftermath.⁣⁣For all things British Murders, please visit my website:⁣https://www.britishmurders.com/⁣Intro music:⁣David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet'⁣https://linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusic⁣My recording equipment:⁣Shure SM7B Vocal MicrophoneCloud Microphone Cloudlifter CL1Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio InterfaceRode PSA-1 Professional Studio Boom ArmRecorded and Edited in:⁣Hindenberg PROReferences:⁣www.britishmurders.com/haroldshipmanpart2/ Learn more about your ad choices.
