Seeing Red A True Crime Podcast

When we talk about domestic abuse, there’s a narrative people expect. This case doesn’t fit it. In this week’s episode of Seeing Red , we examine the murder of James Self — a man killed by his female partner after what those close to them describe as a volatile and controlling relationship. We look at how abuse can look different when the victim is male. The warning signs that are often dismissed....

In 2019, the quiet island of Anglesey was shaken by a murder unlike anything in its recent history. Gerald Corrigan was killed in broad daylight — not with a knife, not with a gun — but with a crossbow. A weapon that felt less modern Britain and more medieval execution. Anglesey is known for its sweeping coastline and tight-knit communities, not savage violence. Yet what unfolded that year would s...
