A crime with no victims, just the faceless banks. Or is that ever really the case?
Elliot Castro was one of the most prolific fraudsters in the UK, starting from a very early age where he stole identities and credit card details to fund a life of luxury across the world. From five-star hotels to designer shopping sprees, Castro lived under countless false identities while staying one step ahead of authorities for years. But behind the glamour was a deeply compulsive double life built on deception, manipulation and fraud.
In this episode, I look at how Elliot Castro became one of the UK’s most notorious conmen - and how his extraordinary criminal career finally came crashing down.

The Ultimate Betrayal That Led To Murder : Episode 507
08/05/2026 | 29 min
The murder of Thomas Campbell, a dad of two children, is a story of betrayal at the highest level.
What began as a planned robbery quickly escalated into a brutal and fatal attack inside his own home in Greater Manchester. At the centre of it all was his ex-partner, Coleen Campbell, who passed on key information about his movements - allowing the killers to refine their plans. As the investigation unfolded, phone records, messages, and suspicious behaviour after his death began to reveal the truth behind what really happened. In this episode, I break down the timeline, the evidence, and how one of the most chilling betrayals led to a terrifying murder.

A Pub Argument in Luton : Episode 505
01/05/2026 | 24 min
What began as a celebration ended in devastating violence.
Pat Howard and Adam Fanelli were killed after a baby shower in Houghton Regis spilled out onto the street, where a confrontation escalated rapidly into a brutal and sustained attack. In front of multiple witnesses, the violence intensified - culminating in the use of both a vehicle and a knife. Along with Adam Fanelli, who was trying to defuse the situation, Pat suffered fatal injuries in a case which shocked the community.
Investigators reconstructed the events through CCTV, witness accounts, and forensic evidence, revealing a deliberate and relentless assault. In this podcast I look at events leading up to the two murders, the police investigation and how those responsible were brought to justice.
The events of that night remain a stark reminder of how quickly a minor argument can spiral out of control into shocking violence.
