In this very special bonus episode of British Murders, I am joined by John from the 'Reddit On Wiki' podcast and my lifelong friend Dav as we discuss the double-murder suicide case of former WWE wrestler Chris Benoit.
Over a three-day period from June 22 to 24, 2007, the former two-time world champion killed his wife Nancy Benoit and their 7-year-old son, Daniel, before finally hanging himself.
Benoit was booked to become ECW Champion at WWE’s Vengeance: Night of Champions pay-per-view on Sunday, June 24, 2007, but he no-showed the event.
On Monday, June 25, 2007, WWE cancelled their scheduled three-hour-long live Raw TV show and replaced it with a tribute to Chris Benoit's life and career.
On Tuesday, June 26, 2007, after details of the murder-suicide became available, the company aired a recorded statement before its ECW broadcast advising that Benoit’s name would not be mentioned again.
Except for his results and listings in WWE's title history, the WWE website has removed all past mentions of Benoit, including his biography and the video tribute comments made by his fellow wrestlers.

The Murder of Ellie Butler Pt. 2: Tragedy Strikes
In the season 3 special of British Murders, I tell the tragic story of the preventable death of 6-year-old Ellie May Butler.
In February 2007, when she was just 6 weeks old, Ellie was rushed to hospital with retinal haemorrhages, a subdural haemorrhage and swelling on the brain.
Her father, Ben Butler, was arrested and Ellie went to live with her maternal grandparents for the next 5 years.
In November 2012, Ellie was ordered back into the custody of her birth parents by High Court Judge Mary Hogg.
On October 28, 2013, less than a year later, Ellie was murdered at home by her father.
In this second episode of the 2 part special, we'll be focusing on the events leading up to Ellie’s death.

BONUS | The Jurassic Games (2018) | Movie Review feat. Once Upon A Nightmare
In this episode, I am once again joined by my good friend Lorraine from the horror movie podcast 'Once Upon a Nightmare'.
Lorraine and I are going through a phase of watching direct to video B-movie's, especially ones involving animals.
Therefore, for this episode, we decided to discuss Ryan Bellgardt's 2018 movie 'The Jurassic Games'.
You may have guessed from the title that this movie was marketed as 'Jurassic Park (1993)’ meets 'The Hunger Games (2012)'.
This hidden gem of a movie surprised us both and it's one we'll certainly be watching again at some point.
