We head back to 2005, and to the town of St Austell in the beautiful UK county of Cornwall this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for a disturbing tale that shows just how perverse and barbaric the actions of some are, how they prey upon and use the vulnerable for their own means, even those who have next to nothing.
The cruelty that some people can show - for their own entertainment.
The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving a vulnerable adult, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
