    The Brighton Trunk Murders – A Seaside Mystery That Gripped the Nation

    In this haunting episode of the UK Crime Podcast, we dive into the macabre world of the Brighton Trunk Murders of 1934 — a pair of gruesome killings that sent shockwaves across Britain.

    When railway staff at Brighton station opened an unclaimed trunk, they discovered a horrifying sight: a dismembered female body. Just weeks later, another body was found in a similar trunk in nearby King's Cross. The press ran wild with speculation, dubbing Brighton “The Queen of Slaughtering Places.”

    Who were the victims? Were the two cases connected — or the work of separate killers? And how did detectives of the day piece together one of the most puzzling murder mysteries of the 20th century, without modern forensic tools?

    Join us as we revisit the seaside town’s darkest chapter, filled with scandal, secrecy, and a killer hiding in plain sight.
