Dennis Nilsen - London's Nefarious Serial Killer

Welcome back, to The Deadly Countdown.

Today we take a look at one of the most infamous serial killers in British history, that of Dennis Nilsen.

This case shows how the “unassuming” amongst us may well be the ones to look out for, the phrase “it’s always the quiet ones” has never been more apt to describe the utter horror of the acts committed by the now deceased Nilsen.

Anthony Templet - A Panicked Patricide

Welcome back, to The Deadly Countdown.

Today we dive into a haunting case of patricide, and take a look at what causes a mild mannered introverted teenager to shoot his own father dead? How this ends throws up many questions such as how custody hearings are carried out, right through to how to decide between premeditated and “heat of the moment” murders, and where does the right to defend yourself stop?...or even begin?

Gypsy Rose Blanchard - Daughter Of Despair

Welcome back, to The Deadly Countdown.

Today we discuss one of the most profound, disturbing, and quite frankly borderline unbelievable case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard. A case such as this truly exposes the potential impact of undiagnosed and untreated mental health conditions, and how, almost like dominoes, that impact can affect generation after generation. We look at the blurred lines between defence and premeditated attack, although written down that seems rather black and white, as we’ll discover, nothing ever truly is.
