For years, Ian Paterson was regarded as one of Britain's leading breast surgeons. Patients placed their trust in him at some of the most frightening moments of their lives, believing they were receiving the best possible care.Instead, many underwent unnecessary or inappropriate operations that left them with lasting physical and psychological consequences. As concerns mounted, one of the biggest medical scandals in modern UK history began to unfold, raising serious questions not only about one surgeon's actions but also about how he was able to continue practising for so long. In this episode, I explore the rise and fall of Ian Paterson, the devastating impact on his patients and the lessons that continue to shape patient safety today.I release episodes of the UK True Crime podcast every Tuesday and Friday, so please do join me again on Friday for the next story.Support me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeWatch my YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@Adam-uktruecrime/videosGet All The News First - Subscribe To My Newsletterhttps://uktruecrime.comJoin UK True Crime Facebook Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrime Hosted on Acast.

On October 27, 2021, 52-year-old Dawn Walker married the man she believed she would spend the rest of her life with. Friends and family watched the happy couple celebrate at a small wedding reception before they returned to their home in the West Yorkshire village of Lightcliffe. Just four days later, Dawn was reported missing by her new husband. Hours after that, her body was discovered hidden inside a suitcase less than 200 yards from the house where the newlyweds should have been starting their married life together.What followed was one of the most disturbing murder investigations in recent history. As detectives began examining Dawn's final days, they uncovered a trail of lies, suspicious behaviour and carefully constructed deception that painted a very different picture to the one first presented. The case would expose a chilling sequence of events that began almost immediately after the wedding celebrations came to an end.In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we examine the murder of Dawn Walker and the investigation that led to the conviction of her husband, Thomas Nutt. We explore Dawn's life, the wedding that should have marked a new beginning, the police investigation, the forensic evidence, the trial at Bradford Crown Court and the shocking details that emerged there. Along the way, we remember Dawn as the kind, caring grandma, mum and friend she was, ensuring that her story remains at the heart of this tragic case.Exclusive content:Patreon - Ad Free, Early Access, Exclusive EpisodesFollow the show:British Murders with Stuart BluesDisclaimer:The case discussed in this podcast episode is real and represents the worst day in many people's lives.

Before DNA databases, before forensic genealogy, and before detectives could solve crimes with the smallest traces of evidence, three teenage girls disappeared after separate nights out in South Wales during the summer and autumn of 1973. Sandra Newton, Pauline Floyd and Geraldine Hughes were all just 16 years old. Their murders sent shockwaves through local communities, sparked one of the biggest murder investigations Wales had ever seen, and left police hunting a killer who seemed to have vanished without a trace.Despite thousands of interviews, nationwide vehicle checks and countless leads, the investigation gradually went cold. For decades, the murders remained among Britain's most haunting unsolved cases, while advances in forensic science slowly transformed what detectives believed was possible. Then, almost thirty years later, a groundbreaking development would breathe new life into the investigation and rewrite the history of criminal detection.In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we examine the South Wales hitchhiker murders of Sandra Newton, Pauline Floyd and Geraldine Hughes. We explore the lives of the three teenagers, the frantic hunt for their killer, the fear that gripped South Wales, and the investigation that ultimately led to the first-ever identification of a murder suspect from a DNA sample recovered using a brand-new method. We also look at the man detectives believed was responsible, the tragic impact on the victims' families, and the extraordinary forensic breakthrough that finally brought answers after nearly three decades.Exclusive content:Patreon - Ad Free, Early Access, Exclusive EpisodesFollow the show:British Murders with Stuart BluesDisclaimer:The case discussed in this podcast episode is real and represents the worst day in many people's lives.

To mark today, the 40th anniversary of Suzy Lamplugh's disappearance, last week I sat down last week to chat with former Metropolitan Police Detective Chief Inspector Mike Barley.Mike was one of the first officers involved in the investigation, helping to establish the original incident room at Fulham Police Station within hours of Suzy being reported missing. He remained closely involved with the case for more than 12 years, following countless leads, investigating reported sightings, working with Suzy's family and later focusing on convicted murderer and rapist John Cannan.It's a fascinating interview where Mike shares behind-the-scenes insights into one of Britain's most enduring missing person investigations, including the remarkable story of an afternoon spent interviewing John Cannan in prison, during which Cannan briefly admitted killing Suzy before immediately withdrawing his confession.Mike and co-author Russell Barnes have recently published a new book, Suzy Lamplugh: The Inside Story of Britain's Most Notorious Missing Person Investigation, drawing on Mike’s decades of first-hand experience of the case. You can buy the book on Kindle by following the link below.I'll be back as normal on Friday for the next episode of the UK True Crime podcast, so do join me then.Buy Mike's bookhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GX81YK1NSupport me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeWatch my YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@Adam-uktruecrime/videosGet All The News First - Subscribe To My Newsletterhttps://uktruecrime.comJoin UK True Crime Facebook Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrime Hosted on Acast.
