24 MAR. 2025 · How do you solve a murder when the most crucial piece of evidence—the victim’s body—is missing?
That was the chilling challenge faced by detectives in Nottingham, England, when Polish street drinker Bogdan Nawrocki vanished without a trace. Forensic evidence pointed to a brutal and violent end, but without a body, could they prove it was murder? To this day, Nawrocki’s remains have never been found. What happened to him—and how did investigators pursue justice without the one thing that could confirm his fate?

She looked like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, but little Mary Bell became the face of evil. So, who was this 11-year-old convicted of the manslaughter of two little boys? What motivated her? And did her punishment fit her crimes?

20 OCT. 2024 · "They chopped him." Those three words from the parents of Shawn Seesahai starkly describe their teenage son's death at the hands of two machete-wielding boys aged just 12, during a confrontation in a park in Wolverhampton, England.
So, are murderers getting younger? Broadly speaking, the answer is 'yes'.
Figures from the UK's Office for National Statistics (ONS) show the percentage of homicide convictions going to under-16s compared with other ages doubled over 10 years, from about one in 50 in 2012/13 to one in 25 in 2022/23.
Sky News reports that the 2022/23 figure is the highest since at least 2008/09. But they caveat – since the percentage of under-16s is low overall, the averages can be heavily skewed by relatively few convictions.
In this podcast, former major crime detective Jacques Morrell is joined by broadcaster Karl Cooper. They look at three murders carried out by children and discuss how the law balances retribution and rehabilitation.

21 JUL. 2024 · Spring, 1945. As Italy collapsed into anarchy and the Allies drove north, the fate of fascist dictator, Benito Mussolini, was in the hands of a partisan militia claiming to represent the country's legitimate government.
The death of Il Duce and his mistress Claretta Petacci marked the end of his rule, but not the end of Italian fascism. As Jacques Morrell discovered, the far right remains influential in present-day Italian politics.
So what exactly happened in those chaotic days in April 1945? Did Mussolini receive justice, or were his executioners just as bad as he was? In an age dominated by posturing tyrants, did lesser psychopaths go unpunished?

14 JUL. 2024 · Benito Mussolini was a textbook psycho – arrogant, grandiose and heartless. He established a fascist dictatorship in Italy by brutally repressing his political opponents.
Mussolini invaded Ethiopia and Libya, where his troops committed extensive war crimes, including civilian massacres and the use of chemical weapons. He took Italy into World War Two, a national catastrophe that led to widespread death and suffering.
In the first of two podcasts, journalist Simon Ford and retired detective Jacques Morrell explore the events surrounding Mussolini's fall from power. How can a psycho enthral a nation – and are there lessons for our time in the story of Mussolini: Italy's psychopathic dictator?

1 ENE. 2024 · People don't vanish into thin air, but it sometimes seems that way. Australia has a reputation for mysterious disappearances, but folk go missing everywhere, and families all over the world are left fearing the worst.
Sometimes foul play is afoot: a serial killer snatching victims off the street, or a stalker with a score to settle. In those cases, it can be decades before evidence of a crime comes to light.
The fear of sinister figures lurking in the shadows has inspired generations of horror movies. The most chilling, as you're about to hear, are based on real events. These cases are the ultimate true crime mysteries.
