Anthony Russell: The Man Who Killed Ian Huntley | True Crime UK

Ian Huntley - the killer of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, one of Britain's most notorious child murderers, was fatally attacked in prison on February 26th, 2026. In this true crime episode, we investigate the man responsible: 44 year old Anthony Russell, a triple murderer now serving a rare whole life order. Before Ian Huntley, Anthony Russell's 2020 killing spree tore through Coventry and Leamington Spa in the West Midlands, fuelled by heroin addiction and a psychotic delusion that his best friend had betrayed him. 3 people would be dead within days... including a grieving mother searching for her missing son, and a pregnant woman whose horrifying final hours sparked one of the largest manhunts in West Midlands Police history. We break down the murders, the manhunt, the trial, and the rape charge that took two juries to resolve - and how it all led to a maximum security cell next to Ian Huntley.

She Filmed Him Dying... Then Asked, "Are You Having Fun?": Judy Church and Leroy Fowler

In November 2022, 55 year old Leroy Fowler was rushed to hospital after suddenly becoming violently ill inside the home he shared with his girlfriend, Judy Church. Doctors quickly discovered something deeply unusual: Leroy's kidneys were shutting down, his blood had become dangerously acidic, and tests revealed he had been poisoned with ethylene glycol... the toxic chemical found in antifreeze. As investigators searched the couple's home, they uncovered disturbing evidence, including an orange-stained sports drink bottle, handwritten journals filled with anger, voodoo dolls, and chilling phone videos recorded while Leroy lay suffering on the floor. Prosecutors alleged that what first appeared to be a tragic medical emergency was, in reality, a calculated act of murder. In this episode of REDRUM True Crime, we examine the evidence, the complicated love triangle, the shocking trial testimony, and the haunting video that became one of the prosecution's most powerful pieces of evidence. Did Leroy realise he was being poisoned before it was too late? And what did the jury see that convinced them this wasn't simply a tragic death, but a premeditated murder that would leave a family searching for answers forever?

Who Killed Tara Louise Baker? Cold Case Solved After 23 Years

For over 2 decades, the murder of 23 year old law student Tara Louise Baker haunted investigators, devastated her family, and left the community of Athens, Georgia searching for answers. On the morning of 19 January 2001, firefighters responding to a house fire made a horrifying discovery inside Tara's bedroom. What initially appeared to be a tragic fire quickly became a brutal homicide investigation involving strangulation, a fatal stab wound, sexual assault, and an apparent attempt to destroy the evidence. Despite witness sightings, countless interviews, and years of investigation, the case went cold... until advances in DNA technology and a renewed cold case investigation uncovered a breakthrough no one saw coming. In this episode of REDRUM True Crime, we examine the evidence, the missteps, the decades-long fight for justice, and the forensic breakthrough that finally identified Tara's killer.

The tragic accident that was actually a murder: Claire and Natasha Peernock

In July 1987, what appeared to be a horrific car crash on a quiet road in Sun Valley quickly became one of California's most shocking murder cases. Claire Peernock was found dead behind the wheel of her ex husbands wrecked Cadillac, while her 18 year old daughter, Natasha Peernock, survived with devastating injuries. But investigators soon discovered the collision had been carefully staged to hide a brutal, premeditated attack. In this episode of REDRUM True Crime, Grace Cordell uncovers the years of abuse that led to that night, the meticulous planning behind the crime, and the extraordinary courage of Natasha, whose memories would expose the truth. As detectives peeled back layer after layer of deception, they uncovered evidence so chilling it would ultimately destroy a killer's carefully constructed plan-but not before revealing just how far he was willing to go to get away with murder.
