Bonus Episode - 'True Crime Round-Up' September 2025

Author: Always True Crime September 13, 2025 Duration: 50:03

Welcome to episode nine of my monthly chats with Stuart, host of the British Murders Podcast.


As usual, we look at crime stories that made headlines in September 2025, covering local, national, and international headlines. This month, for the third consecutive month, Stuart decided not to choose a story related to a shark, whale or any other creature which lives in the sea, which was nice if unusual. Join us as we dive into these extraordinary stories in the September 2025 edition of the True Crime Round-Up:


  • Woman threatened to expose her ex's "wee chipolata" online;
  • Man charged with murder after Leeds attack as victim named;
  • Meat smuggling crisis risks major disease outbreak in UK;
  • Man jailed for life after birthday celebrations lead to Salford murder;
  • FBI 'most wanted' man captured in North Wales facing 90 years in the slammer;
  • The Contraband Chronicles: 71-year-old tried to smuggle £640k worth of cocaine into UK in mobility scooter;
  • Influencer Lola Doll shot in Guyana;
  • Six killed in rush hour bus shooting in Jerusalem;
  • Thief arrested because he forgot to log off Facebook after burglarising a home;
  • 'Dumb' criminals attempt robbery with permanent marker pen disguises;
  • Man arrested for allegedly living in crawl space of Oregon housing complex.

Hosted by Adam Lloyd, the UK True Crime Podcast from Always True Crime explores the unsettling, the unresolved, and the historically significant criminal cases that have shaped communities across the nation. Rather than sensationalism, the approach is one of meticulous narrative, built on thorough research and a respect for the human stories at the heart of each event. You'll hear detailed accounts of crimes from England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, examining not just the facts but the social contours and personal journals that give these stories lasting weight. This podcast operates at the intersection of history, culture, and personal tragedy, considering how a single act ripples through society and into the collective memory. With new episodes arriving every Tuesday and Friday, the series has earned a substantial audience, reflected in its shortlisting for Best True Crime Podcast at the 2026 True Crime Podcast Awards and over eighty-five million listens. For those drawn to the complexities of real-life stories, this podcast provides a consistently engaging and thoughtful exploration, making it a definitive voice within the genre. The depth of coverage ensures that each case is presented with the context it deserves, offering listeners a comprehensive understanding that goes beyond the headlines.
