Ilkeston 1962, Part 2


As 37 year old Sonia Wilson's story unfolds, the true horror of what she experienced is laid bare.


Although a victim, she has to face-up to the part she played in it.


More importantly though, in order to get justice, she is called upon to testify against her tormentor.

Rachael Slack warned the authorities about her son's father, Andrew Cairns.


He had threatened to kill her and they knew that.


Like Tania Moore five years previously, Derbyshire Police failed to act on these warnings.


As a result, an entirely avoidable tragedy occured. A tragedy that left a community shocked and a family scared by grief.

Belper 1844


William Yeomans and his wife Sarah are dead on the floor of their parlor; blood pooling around their bodies Neighbours suspect they know what happened but for now, only one person does.


The whole terrible scene played out before the eyes of a young boy whose chilling retelling of what he saw left everybody who heard it in no doubt as to the enormity of what had occurred and at who’s hand blood had been shed.

*****My original post of this episode contained an uneasy silence of 15 minutes in the middle where I muted an audio track therefor a field recording was missing. I've put my mistake right now.


Thank you those who let me know.


I am so sorry.


Buxton, 1982


A crime unsolved is justice denied; a murder unsolved is a tragedy compounded on tragedy.

The murder of 20 year old Elaine Wakefield remains just such a tragedy.

How much did the assumptions of the detectives hinder their progress in identifying Elaine’s killer?

Alkmonton, 2005


This episode sees the start of a weekly mini-series on Intimate Partner Homicide.


When show jumper Tania Moore split from her fiance, she hoped and rightly expected to be able to move on with her life.

She didn't envisage the campaign of intimidation that would be unleashed upon her or the extent to which she would be failed by the police.

Derby 2020


The financial cost of arson in the UK runs at approximately one and a half billion pounds a year.


When a series of fires are set across Derby in the last few months of 2020, both the police and fire services were forced to confront the dark reality that, unless the perpetrators were stopped, it was just a matter of time before harm would come to people, rather than just property.

Peak True Crime - The Pigeon Champion of Pinxton - Part One
play

06/25/23 • 43 min

The Pigeon Champion of Pinxton

In late April 2023, the remains of a man were discovered buried on farmland near Sutton-in-Ashfield in Nottinghamshire. After weeks of painstaking work at the site, and with the help of the public, the remains were identified as that of 52 year old Alfred Swinscoe, a Derbyshire miner who had been missing for over half a century.

In this first of what will be an occasional series, we look into what’s known about Alfred, his life and the challenges an investigation like this represents to detectives.

Although they haven’t contributed directly to this episode, I would like to thank Alfred’s family for taking the time to listen to the episode in advance of publication and corroborating the biographical information I’ve been able to unearth.

If you are able to help Nottinghamshire Police in any way to find the answers the family are so desperately looking for, please call the enquiry team on 0800 096 0095.
