Always True Crime

The horrific explosion in Leicester, on 25th February 2018, which claimed the lives of five people, would have been terrible enough were it a tragic accident - but, what made it much worse, more inhumane, is that by just three days after the blast, police were convinced that it had been a deliberate act, and soon afterwards, charges were raised against three men for this - Arkan Ali, Hawkar Hassan, and Aram Kurd - the store's propreitor.

This time around, in the second part of Best Laid Plans, i bring you the first part of the account of their resulting trial.

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

It was a normal Friday just after 1pm when Lee Pomeroy boarded the train to London Waterloo with his 14 year old son, looking forward to spending the day together.

Instead, a minor disagreement inside a carriage spiralled into sudden, shocking violence. In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, we explore how a routine journey became a scene of terror, the evidence that led detectives to the killer, and the devastating consequences of a few seconds of uncontrolled rage.

Few people will feel sympathy for Ian Huntley, who this week was seriously attacked inside prison. The murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Soham remain among the most abhorrent crimes in modern British history - acts so senseless they are almost impossible to comprehend.

The man reported to have carried out the attack was Anthony Russell.

Back in October 2024, I covered Russell’s own crimes - a week of shocking violence that left three people dead and exposed just how dangerous he is.
In light of this latest development, I’ve decided to re-release that episode today - to revisit who Anthony Russell is, what he did, and how his name has once again returned to the headlines.
