Blood Ties Podcast

In this episode, with special guest Grace from Redrum, Geoffrey and Molly confront one of the most disturbing crimes in recent British history. The murder of Brianna Ghey. A 16 year old girl who trusted the wrong people and paid with her life.

On 11 February 2023, Brianna was lured to a park by someone she believed was a friend. What awaited her was not friendship, but a carefully planned act of extreme violence. Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe, both just 15 at the time, had planned the attack in advance. This was not a moment of rage. It was deliberate. It was cold. And it was brutal.

The court would later describe the crime as driven by sadistic tendencies, with transphobia playing a secondary role. That finding raises uncomfortable questions. About cruelty. About obsession with violence. And about how two teenagers came to see murder as something to rehearse, discuss, and finally carry out.

Geoffrey and Molly Wansell confront Britain’s most chilling killer, Robert Maudsley, the man the tabloids dubbed Hannibal the Cannibal. Locked away in a glass cell beneath Wakefield Prison, Maudsley has spent decades in near-total isolation after a string of murders so brutal they shocked even hardened detectives. But who is the man behind the monster?

With Geoffrey’s trademark precision and Molly’s probing curiosity, Blood Ties digs into Maudsley’s tragic childhood, his descent into violence, and the media myth that turned him into a British bogeyman. Was he born evil or made by a system that failed him?

This is Blood Ties at its most provocative: a gripping, fearless look at one of Britain’s darkest souls and the uncomfortable truths that lie behind the nickname Hannibal the Cannibal.

Gregory Vincent Greene was a man of contradictions, charming yet cold, generous yet ruthless. Behind the façade of an ordinary life lay secrets that would unravel a family and shock a community. In this gripping new episode of Blood Ties, Geoffrey and Molly Wansell peel back the layers of a complex life and a chilling crime. With their trademark mix of forensic storytelling and psychological insight, they explore how Greene’s charisma concealed darkness, and how the people who loved him were drawn into a web of lies, fear, and betrayal.

In the heart of Belfast during the height of the Troubles, a brutal gang prowled the night, abducting, torturing, and killing innocent Catholics in a reign of terror that would shock even hardened police officers. Known as The Shankill Butchers, this group of loyalist paramilitaries turned the streets into hunting grounds, leaving a city already divided by politics and religion gripped by fear. In this episode of Blood Ties, Geoffrey and Molly Wansell uncover how one man, Lenny Murphy, led a gang whose sadistic killings blurred the line between political violence and pure psychopathy.
