Amid the chaos now unfolding in Mexico after the February 2026 assassination of drug cartel boss El Mencho , we’re throwing it back to the 1985 torture and murder of American DEA agent Enrique ‘Kiki’ Camarena at the hands of the ruthless Guadalajara Cartel… and the whispers of Cold War CIA conspiracy that still refuse to die. Was Kiki on the brink of uncovering an inconvenient truth about the USA’s War on Drugs? If so – was he silenced by the very country he dedicated his life to protect? And ho...

But when he discovered a string of emails revealing him as side-piece #2, something toxic took root… We look at the dark truth behind a story steamily referred to in the tabloids as the “Sex in the Woods Murder”. The real tale is one of brutality, malice, and insecurity so thick that a joke about a small member may well have cost a woman her life....

But the story didn’t end with the capture of the so-called ‘Suffolk Strangler’, Steve Wright… The murders of Tania Nicol, Gemma Adams, Anneli Alderton, Annette Nicholls and Paula Clennell would go on to transform policing strategies for prostitution in the UK (and even inspired a tone-deaf musical).

When Brendan Banfield frantically called 911 in February 2023 to report a double murder at his million-dollar suburban home in Virginia, it seemed like an extramarital sex game gone wrong. But as police dug deeper, the deaths of Christine Banfield and Joe Ryan – the stranger found beside her – proved even weirder than they once appeared. And all the evidence pointed to a dastardly plot between Brendan and the family’s Brazilian nanny, Juliana Peres Magalhães, in a twisted web of infidelity, catf...

Drinking blood, conducting seances, and hosting occult lesbian orgies all became standard practice for Tracey Wigginton’s ‘coven’ – who all thought that she was the real deal: an actual vampire. Or, did they? When Wigginton and her crew killed a middle-aged man, drank his blood, and left him naked apart from his socks, it brought up a lot of questions… Did they think the whole thing was a big joke?

Watch the YouTube video here In 2000, Christine Lundy and her seven-year-old daughter Amber were brutally hacked to death in their New Zealand home. Their husband and father, Mark Lundy, had a seemingly watertight alibi: he was over 90 miles away. But that didn’t stop the New Zealand courts from convicting him. Twice. With a controversial case built on junk science, shifting timelines, and a microscopic speck of what prosecutors called ‘brain tissue’ (but might have just been lunch), the Lundy s...

When Luigi Mangione was charged as the UnitedHealthcare shooter – it changed everything. The public knew this was a political act, but Luigi was not the crackpot vigilante many had pictured. He had no clear personal link to UnitedHealthcare (or its CEO Brian Thompson) – and he had everything to lose. To many, Luigi became a certified, revolutionary, anti-capitalist heartthrob. But there’s also a lot more to Mangione than the selfless martyr with chiselled abs. In our concluding part, we take a d...

Waiting and hoping for salvation, as feet turned to black blocks of ice, and her husband Jim marched endlessly through the snow looking for help. This is the holiday season survival story so good that it got its own film...
O.J. Simpson wasn’t black, “he was O.J.”. That was the narrative O.J. had pushed his entire career… right up until he found himself in the dock for killing his ex-wife and a waiter. Then suddenly O.J. Simpson was practically MLK himself. Last week in our first part on “The Juice”, we told you how O.J. Simpson killed Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. In Part Two, we’re going to tell you how he went to trial, with all of the evidence stacked against him – and, with the help of the “dream team”, still ...

Globs of human fat floating in a bathtub like some kind of messed-up, flesh-filled snowglobe: not quite what two beat cops were expecting when they knocked on Stefano Brizzi’s door, after neighbours reported a disturbing smell emanating from the house.Even when Brizzi answered the door in nothing but a pair of speedos, and told them “I killed a police officer and I did it for the devil”, they couldn’t have imagined the foul blue human stew waiting for them upstairs.

When Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious woke up in a pool of his girlfriend’s blood, most people thought they knew the score. Sid & Nancy were famous across the world: the ultimate dysfunctional, smack-addicted punk power couple – and their reckless lifestyle was bound to end in tragedy. But they were far from the only people in Room 100 of the infamous Chelsea Hotel that night. With a building full of shady characters coming and going; thousands of dollars in cash nowhere to be found; an endle...
We’re really sorry, but this week’s Under the Duvet is shorter than usual due to a couple of tech hiccups… in post we realised it didn’t pick up Suru’s audio or video for the last half of the episode 🙃 Also worth noting, at the start Suru’s mic switches unknowingly, so you might notice a change in sound quality. We’ve done everything we can to tidy it up, but apologies that it’s not quite up to our usual standard. We’ve put the video version of what was salvageable of this week’s episode availa...
