The Ultimate Traitor - Inside the Mind of Robert Hendy-Freegard : Episode 477

The Ultimate Traitor - Inside the Mind of Robert Hendy-Freegard : Episode 477

Author: Always True Crime January 6, 2026 Duration: 32:20

The Ultimate Traitor explores the chilling true story of Robert Hendy-Freegard — the conman who posed as an MI5 agent and manipulated his victims through fear, loyalty and lies. A real-life game of trust and betrayal that echoes The Traitors, this episode examines how deception became a weapon — and how ordinary people were drawn into his control, with so many lives destroyed.


In the end he was just a Traitor, playing a game that nobody agreed to play.

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.
