  • Revisited - The Man Who Tried To Kill Ian Huntley: The Crimes of Anthony Russell

    Revisited - The Man Who Tried To Kill Ian Huntley: The Crimes of Anthony Russell
    Feb 28 2026

    Few people will feel sympathy for Ian Huntley, who this week was seriously attacked inside prison. The murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Soham remain among the most abhorrent crimes in modern British history - acts so senseless they are almost impossible to comprehend.


    The man reported to have carried out the attack was Anthony Russell.


    Back in October 2024, I covered Russell’s own crimes - a week of shocking violence that left three people dead and exposed just how dangerous he is.

    In light of this latest development, I’ve decided to re-release that episode today - to revisit who Anthony Russell is, what he did, and how his name has once again returned to the headlines.

Living in the UK myself and being fascinated by true crime, this is exactly the podcast I need to hear about it. Well done guys!

Brilliant show!

I'm new to this podcast and pleasantly surprised. As many "fans" of the genre - I'm not sure if fans is the right word - I find true crime fascinating, I detest the "exciting" delivery style on many a Netflix documentary that glamourises the crime and/or perpetrator.

In contrast, this podcast looks at at the details of the crimes covered in a much more measured tone and Adam always takes time to remind the listener of the victims and their loved ones.

He praises and admonishes the police as appropriate to the specific case. This is unusual as many I have heard will make excellent police work sound surprising.

I love the musical and historical context given at the start of each episode.

The advertisements were a bit of a shock as I usually listen to audiobooks and podcasts without them but I'm steadily working my way through them so it can't be that off-putting!

I'm hooked

I first came across this podcast on Spotify which was great for me but finding it here just makes me want to listen to every episode again!
I highly recommend if you are interested in true crime but prefer a short summary of cases, most episodes are 20 ish minutes so they're great for snapshots of events. Very easy listen!

A brilliant addition to my week

Apart from the advertising at the beginning, which I know is necessary, I found these interesting and very well written. And because they’re short and informative it’s easy listening for a short journey in the car or when doing jobs around the house. Will be listening to more, and recommending to others with an interest in true crime.
