Saturday the 12th of April 1958, two men – 60-year-old Isaiah Dixon and 32-year-old Matthew Kavanagh – returned to their boarding house at 11 Hillmorton Road in Rugby. Kavanagh strangled Dixon with his own tie, stole 34 10s from his pockets, went shopping, and confessed to his murder. But then in court, he denied murder, and used an alibi which had got many 1950s killers off a murder charge.
Location: Ground floor bedsit, 11 Hillmorton Road, Rugby, Warwickshire, Date: Saturday the 12th of April 1958, evening, Victims: Isaiah Dixon (and Evelyn Ullah) Culprit: Matthew Kavanagh

#353 - The 9.02 Killer (Janet Maddocks & Jack Roy Jnr)
18/06/2026 | 59 min
Wednesday 20th of March 1985, the 9:02pm slow train from London Euston to Birmingham New Street pulls out of Coventry Station, having passed through Northampton, Long Buckby and Rugby. It was silent, empty, and as the lone passenger slides open the door, in an off-side compartment, he saw blood up the windows and its seats saturated in a dark goo, as running twelve feet from the seat to a door stained with red sticky prints, a ‘river’ of blood ran along the aisle. A woman had been brutally murdered, and her body was missing, But how, and why?
Location: 9:20pm slow train from London Euston to Birmingham New Street Date: 9:20pm departure, 2:30am body found Victims: Janet Mary Maddocks Culprit: Jack Roy Junior

#352 - Living with 'Cancer' (Laureline Garcia-Bertaux & Kirill Belorusov)
11/06/2026 | 1 h 1 min
Back in 2019, the ground floor flat at 4 Darell Road in Kew was home to 34-year-old Laureline Garcia-Bertaux, a busy singleton working in the media who had big plans of being a creative success, and was striving to make it happen.
She had a good job, a busy social life, she was liked, and she was popular. By the March, she was about to begin (what she believed or maybe hoped) was a fresh start by moving to a new flat. Yet, something was eating away at her, a sickness that pervaded her life, and a terminal disease which could never be cured, but this wasn’t a virus which festered within, it was all around her, and it had been for a decade.
Location: Ground Floor Flat, 4 Darell Road, Kew, Richmond, TW4 Date: Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd of March 2019 Victims: Laureline Garcia-Bertaux Culprit: Kirill Belorusov

#351 - The Ghost of 'Veronique' (Soho, 1940-42)
04/06/2026 | 1 h
In the spring of 1942, a young French girl known only as ‘Veronique’ vanished from the streets of Soho. No-one knew her real name, where she came from, or how she had got there, but she had lived and worked as a prostitute for almost two years, and then having tried to escape, she vanished. Her disappearance is as much of a mystery as her life, or identity.
Unlike others episodes of Murder Mile, this was compiled over a decade from the reminiscences of those who knew her or knew of her, therefore not everything should be taken as fact. Memories are subjective, and over time, the accuracy fades, and details are shifted, rearranged or adapted to suit a bias or perspective, so all that remains is a mystery.
Location: Rupert Street (number unknown), Soho, London, W1 Date: 1940 to 1942 Victims: ‘Veronique’
