But before we get to the heavy stuff, we take a detour through the chaotic landscape of our minds—covering everything from reframing toxic positivity, the questionable number of boiled eggs one person should consume in a day, and the weird yet undeniable power of a well-timed cherry drop. Expect the usual mix of serious discussion, gallows humour, and existential crises over breakfast foods.

Sweets and secrets: The mysterious murder of Laura Mordaunt-Chapman 1:14:15

6 days ago1:14:15

1:14:15

This week, we’re off to Twickenham (yes, it is in South London—Han’s learning geography as we go), where a wealthy widow was found brutally stabbed and partially burned in her own home in 1936. Laura Mordaunt Chapman lived a quiet, reclusive life—until Albert Hadfield, a local sweetshop owner with a shady past and a bicycle, wormed his way in. With 47 stab wounds, no signs of a break-in, and a staged crime scene, the case screamed foul play… but nearly 90 years on, no one has ever been convicted. We’re talking poison apples (not really, but sort of), romantic misunderstandings, and the mystery of why Laura, who never left her kitchen, was found upstairs. Oh, and we’ve upgraded our recording kit thanks to Young William. Fancy. Join us as we unravel a lesser-known but chilling South London murder and raise a glass (or a cider) to one year of Sinister South. Spoiler: Albert definitely did it.

The Bell Pub Shootings: 1990s Gangland Murders in South London 49:35

13 days ago49:35

49:35

In the early 1990s, South London was a hotspot for gangland violence, with organised crime families like the Arifs and Brindells locked in a deadly power struggle. In this episode, we explore the interconnected murders of Arma Abdullah, David Brindell, and Stanley Silk – killings that reveal a chilling web of retribution, turf wars, and community silence. From a targeted hit in a Woolworth betting shop to a brutal double shooting at the Bell Pub, these unsolved crimes shed light on the criminal underworld operating in plain sight and the innocent lives caught in the crossfire. We examine gang rivalries, police failures, the roots of Operation Trident, and how entire communities were impacted by fear and distrust. (Also includes a brief ode to spiderweb garden furniture and why we’re still not over our teenage goth phases.)

Sophie Lionnet: The girl they tried to erase 1:06:21

20 days ago1:06:21

1:06:21

She travelled to London with dreams of adventure, language, and independence, but instead, 21-year-old Sophie Lionnet found herself trapped in a house of delusion and cruelty. In this episode, we uncover the disturbing murder of a young French au pair at the hands of a South London couple who convinced themselves she was a spy sent by a former boyband star. With twisted obsession, manipulation, and a shared fantasy that spiralled into torture and murder, this is one of the most haunting domestic crimes in modern British history. Also listen to how Rach became "that person" while dealing with a teenager with no headphones on a commuter train...

Elizabeth Coriat: Failed by the System, Killed by Her Son 52:17

27 days ago52:17

52:17

In August 2012, 76-year-old Elizabeth Coriat was found dead in her Forest Hill flat. She had been killed – and decapitated – by her own son, Daniel. He was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, known to mental health services, and had made disturbing statements about Elizabeth long before her death. Despite this, he was discharged and deemed low risk. No safeguarding. No crisis intervention. No support for Elizabeth. What happened to her wasn’t just a brutal act – it was the tragic end point of a system that ignored warning after warning. In this episode, we unpack how the mental health system failed both Elizabeth and Daniel, the gendered burden of care that mothers so often carry alone, and why these cases keep happening without national attention. Also, yes – we open with a bit of chaos. There’s accidental drinking, theatre trips, mum group antics, and the re-emergence of the word drinkage. But we get serious fast. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-21249495 https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/son-beheaded-witch-like-mother/29041747.html https://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/9616953.daniel-coriat-is-due-to-appear-at-the-old-bailey-charged-with-murdering-elizabeth-coriat/ https://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/9948055.forest-hill-man-denies-murder-of-his-mum-whose-decapitated-body-was-found-in-flat/ https://www.hundredfamilies.org/the-victims/london/ https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/01/29/daniel-coriat-beheaded-mother-elizabeth-looked-like-witch_n_2573253.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2269672/Paranoid-schizophrenic-decapitated-elderly-mother-thought-witch.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2270268/Naked-man-Daniel-Coriat-beheaded-mother-thought-witch-Hannibal-Lecter-noises-arrested-police.html https://www.femicidecensus.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Femicide-Census-Redefining-an-Isolated-Incident.pdf https://www.eastlondonlines.co.uk/2012/03/man-charged-over-forest-hill-murder/ https://kareningalasmith.com/2014/02/02/mother-killers/ https://www.femicidecensus.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2000-Women-full-report.pdf https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/mar/05/more-than-170-mothers-killed-by-sons-15-years-uk-report Support the show Thanks for tuning in!

"An accident waiting to happen" - The Croydon Tram Derailment 1:01:18

5 weeks ago1:01:18

1:01:18

It’s Hannah’s birthday 🎉 and in true Sinister South fashion, we’re celebrating with one of the most devastating public transport disasters in British history. This week, we’re in Croydon. In 2016, a packed tram derailed at high speed on a tight curve at Sandilands. Seven people lost their lives. Dozens more were injured. But behind the headlines was a tangled mess of missed warnings, ignored safety recommendations, and a network that left no room for human error. It’s a story about a driver, a system with no safeguards, and a question that still hasn’t been answered: how did no one see it coming? We talk through the crash itself, the trial that followed, and why Rachel will never again tempt fate by saying anything positive out loud. There’s also a detour into the very specific kind of rage that comes from being tailgated by an undercover BMW-driving policeman on the A20.

The Queenpins of Crime: South London's Forty Elephants 57:46

57:46

They didn’t need getaway cars or sawn-off shotguns just a killer wardrobe and a razor-sharp plan. In this episode, we dive into the world of the Forty Elephants an all-women crime syndicate that ruled the streets and department stores of London from the late 1800s well into the 20th century. Based in the Elephant and Castle, these women weren’t just shoplifters they were organised, ruthless, and decades ahead of their time when it came to running a criminal empire. We’ll explore how the gang operated, why they were so successful for so long, and how their legacy challenges the idea that crime was just a man’s game. From high society parties to prison cells, this is the story of the women who stole with style and left a mark on London’s underworld that still fascinates today. We also talk about how podcasts with money make us sad...yeh you heard right...and how everyone knew a shoplifter in their previous life right??...

For 17 years, someone was targeting elderly people across South London, slipping into their homes in the dead of night. Behind the mask was Delroy Grant, a man living a quiet life in Lewisham, known to neighbours as a family man and carer. But the reality was far darker. In this episode, we explore the long investigation to uncover the truth, the mistakes that let him walk free for so long, and the strength of the victims who came forward. This is a story about the people he hurt, the communities affected, and the detectives who finally stopped him.

When love turns lethal: The Tai O'Donnell story 1:09:09

1:09:09

This week, we start with a much-needed debrief on brain fog, Expo madness, and why Rachel may or may not be developing narcolepsy (spoiler: she’s not, but Hannah’s definitely worried). Tai O’Donnell was just 19. A music student with plans, talent, and a mum who adored him. In March 2021, Tai was murdered by his ex-girlfriend, Kamila Ahmad, in his flat in Croydon. She stabbed him in the leg, severing his femoral artery, then left him to die. In this episode, we talk about who Tai really was, what we missed, and how the system failed to see a pattern of violence until it was too late. This is a story about control, coercion, and how male victims of domestic abuse are still slipping through the cracks.

The Balham Mystery: Who Poisoned Charles Bravo? 1:25:26

This week, Rach takes us on a wild romp through Victorian south London with the mysterious death of Charles Bravo – a seemingly respectable barrister who died in agony from antimony poisoning in his plush home near Tooting Bec Common. Was it suicide? A medical accident? Or did someone in the house have very good reason to want him gone? We unpack the tangled mess of coercive control, scandalous affairs, and courtroom chaos that surrounded the case – all while having a good old chat about St Patrick’s Day hangovers, questionable leprechaun museums, and Rachel’s blacklisting from a certain food delivery app (justice for Rach). Grab a cuppa (or a baby Guinness), it's a good one.

Burglary Turned Fatal: The death of Henry Vincent and the Richard Osborn-Brooks case 1:30:41

1:30:41

When 78-year-old Richard Osborn-Brooks awoke to find two intruders in his South London home, he made a split-second decision that would change his life forever. One burglar fled. The other, Henry Vincent, was fatally stabbed. But what followed was almost as shocking—the pensioner’s arrest, a furious public debate over self-defence laws, and a tense standoff between Vincent’s grieving family and the local community. In this episode, we break down the crime, the legal grey areas, and the bizarre fallout—including a funeral procession showdown, a police-protected pensioner, and a heated debate over whether justice was truly served. Plus, Hannah relives a particularly bad pub encounter that left her fuming, and nearly finds herself setting up an IT service desk just to get the Patreon live.

Right, before we get into this one, a quick heads-up - tech issues. The recording gods were not on our side, and there are a few little glitches in this episode. We’ve done what we can to tidy them up, but if you notice any weird jumps or crackles, just know we’re as annoyed as you are. Bear with us, we promise it’s worth it. Johanita Dogbey was just walking home when she was attacked in broad daylight by a man described as having a ‘hunter mentality’. No motive, no connection - just a terrifyingly random act of violence. It’s the kind of case that leaves you looking over your shoulder, wondering how something like this can even happen. We’ll take you through the investigation, what we know about the man responsible, and the lasting impact of his actions. Support the show Thanks for tuning in!

A Single Punch: The Tragic Killing of Oliver Dearlove 1:18:30

On a warm August night in 2016, Oliver Dearlove was out with friends in Blackheath, South London, when a casual conversation with a stranger turned into an unthinkable tragedy. A single, unprovoked punch from a man he'd never met ended his life within seconds, shattering the world of those who loved him. In this episode, we discuss Oliver’s life, the dangers of one-punch attacks, and the devastating ripple effects of impulsive violence. But before we get to the heavy stuff, we take a detour through the chaotic landscape of our minds—covering everything from reframing toxic positivity, the questionable number of boiled eggs one person should consume in a day, and the weird yet undeniable power of a well-timed cherry drop. Expect the usual mix of serious discussion, gallows humour, and existential crises over breakfast foods.

Episode 7! South London, summer of '86. It's boiling, windows are open, and an unseen predator is creeping inside. One by one, elderly residents are found dead in their beds, strangled, their homes disturbed but not ransacked. The press dub him 'The Stockwell Strangler', and fear grips the city. Who was Kenneth Erskine, and what drove him to prey on the most vulnerable? Han takes us through a case that left South London in shock. Plus, an important public service announcement - pubs with "arms" in the name do not, in fact, have anything to do with actual limbs. You're welcome!

Diamonds, Diggers & Deception: The Millennium Dome Diamond Heist 1:17:13

Season 2 episode 6! A flawless diamond, a gang of 'old school' crooks, and a JCB digger smashing through the Millennium Dome in Greenwich - what could possibly go wrong? In this episode, Rach takes us inside one of the most audacious (and utterly disastrous) heist attempts in British history - the 2000 Millennium Dome raid. A gang of career criminals set their sights on the Millennium Star, a £100m diamond that was too good not to go after! Armed with sledgehammers, smoke grenades and a construction vehicle, they stormed the Dome, believing they were moments away from unimaginable wealth. Instead? They walked straight into one of the most elaborate police stings ever executed - Operation Magician... We break down the gang's previous failed heists, the police's meticulous planning and the moment everything fell apart. Plus, fair warning - we were a little unhinged when recording this one, so expect some chaotic energy alongside the crime! Listen now for the heist that could have been legendary...if it hadn't been an absolute disaster.
