UK Homicide

UK Homicide

Welcome to UK Homicide. I offer deep dives into murders committed in the United Kingdom (Mainly England). There is a focus on the victim, to humanise them beyond a salacious headline. As well as the murder itself, we will look at; background, pre-homicide, defence & prosecution, sentencing and legacy. Crime reporting in the UK is challenging as all information is strictly confidential.
