This week, we reopen one of the most bizarre and unsettling cases we’ve ever covered: the story of Sabina and Ursula Eriksson. Twin sisters whose shared descent into chaos left witnesses stunned, authorities baffled, and one man de...

He lived in a modest suburban semi just outside of Darlington in County Durham with his long-time partner, Sarah Hall, and their 14-year-old daughter, Scarlett. Friends described him as hands-on, affectionate, and utterly devoted to his only child. So why then, on the evening of July 5th, while Sarah stood at the stove cooking spaghetti Bolognese for her family, did Simon drive a kitchen knife eleven centimetres into Scarlett...

In our season 13 premier we take a look at the life and crimes of 74-year-old debauched deviant Paul Flowers. Flowers first came to the public's attention in 2013 when he was blamed for the near-collapse of the Co-operative Bank - he was the bank's chairman from 2010 to 2013. Some bad decisions were made during his tenure and it's not hard to see why - Flowers was often turning up to work following all-night cocaine and ketamine benders. He was in no fit state to be running a bank and when a sex...
