This is the first post of the year and also number 700 since the blog was started in November 2010. It is also a landmark inasmuch as it is the first time that I have appeared in a podcast.
The East House Murders was one of the earliest articles I posted to my site and also the latest in terms of date. I have always adhered to the "forty year rule" and do not publish articles of a contemporary nature, The simple reason being is that it makes life easier. In fact the only living person that appears on my website is its owner!
In the summer of 2023 I was contacted by the grandson of one of the policemen who arrested the perpetrator after the murders. He had read the article on the website and wanted to find out more about the events that led up to the murders and also the aftermath.
He asked for an interview and I was delighted to assist in the project.
The outcome can be found on the BBC Sounds site. I am very pleased how the project turned out and hope that the readers of this blog will find the podcast interesting and informative. And it does have a pleasant surprise at the end!
