Five years after Peter Sutcliffe’s death, his crimes continue to cast a long shadow over Northern England. In this remastered episode, I revisit a two-part series from my archives, now presented as one seamless story.

This episode focuses on the thirteen women whose names are too often forgotten. I look at who they were, the lives they were building, and how systemic failings left them at risk. I also revisit the investigation’s major missteps, the Wearside Jack hoax, and the eventual arrest and trial.

Fifty years on from the first confirmed murder - and five years since Sutcliffe’s death - their stories remain as important as ever.

In March 2003, 17-year-old Hannah Foster vanished after a night out in Southampton. Days later, her body was found a few miles from home. She’d been attacked and murdered - but by who?

A chilling 999 call made from Hannah’s phone captured the voice of her killer and sparked an international manhunt.

What followed was a bold escape, a pursuit that crossed continents, and a family’s relentless fight for justice that would change UK extradition history forever.

In early 2005, Nottingham was gripped by fear as three women lost their lives in a series of brutal killings that shocked the city.

First was 25-year-old Ellen Frith, whose body was discovered in a derelict flat that had been set on fire. Just weeks later, 18-year-old Katie Baxter and 26-year-old Zoe Pennick were found dead in eerily similar circumstances - both victims of unimaginable violence.

In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, I explore one of Nottingham’s darkest chapters - a story of addiction, vulnerability, and a man who boasted about becoming the city’s first serial killer.
