Jean Windridge lived near Birmingham and was always immaculate in her appearance, with a real fondness for flashy costume jewellery which led to her gaining the nicknames among friends of ‘Diamond Lil’ and ‘Goldfinger’. She didn't wear expensive pieces, but loved the jewellery that she wore. At 78, Jean had a busy social life and lots of friends, being known locally for her kindness and sense of community. So when she was found murdered in her own home after an afternoon party at the local church, nobody could understand why anyone would want to hurt Jean. In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast I look at the circumstances surrounding the murder of Jean Windridge.

It was a normal Saturday night in Glasgow as mainly students headed to The Sanctuary nightclub. But while most were there to have some fun and enjoy time with their friends, there was one man there who was looking for something very different. Someone to attack.

In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast I cover the tragic murder of Karen Buckley.

In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast I delve into the criminal history of Paul Bint, a serial conman known as the “King Con.” Bint repeatedly posed as high-status figures, such as barristers and senior officials, to manipulate victims, often targeting women and gaining their trust before exploiting them financially. With hundreds of offences and multiple prison sentences, his story reveals how confidence fraud relies on charm, deception, and psychological manipulation rather than complex schemes. It is quite a story.

For six terrifying years, a gang of robbers carried out over twenty raids on banks and Post Offices across Merseyside, stealing around £1.5 million. Armed, masked and highly organised, they spread fear among staff and communities whilst evading capture time and time again. In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at how the gang operated, the impact on their victims, and how through great police work, the gang were brought to justice.

In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at two tragic cases where a normal night out at the pub, ended in devastating violence over minor issues. The killings of Jake Kemp and Liam Dent, both of whom lost their lives to total strangers, show how quickly situations can spiral out of control. I look at the events leading up to each killing, what happened on the night of the attacks, and the consequences faced by those responsible.

Always True Crime Monthly, is an Amazon Music exclusive bonus episode from Adam Lloyd, host of UK True Crime. Each month, Adam takes us behind the scenes of the Always True Crime Network, spotlighting one of the many gripping shows and speaking to the creators behind them.

In this episode, Adam sits down with Eugene Henderson and Andy Clark from the hugely successful series Codename Badger.

Codename Badger explores a decades long con that starts in 1955 with the death of Major Robbie Mills, a young British army officer who fell disembarking from a submarine in Torbay Harbour in Devon. Weeks later a stranger shows up at the door of Mills’ widow, Josephine, claiming that Robbie’s death wasn’t an accident and that Robbie was actually a spy. While this revelation left the family with countless questions, the greater mystery lay in the new path this strangers, John Cottell, led them down. In this episode Adam and journalists behind the show discuss the process of going through decades of secrets and untold history to unravel what really happened in a case.

The story today is from Newcastle, in the north-east of England. Emma Golightly was very keen on internet dating and used it extensively - but not because she was looking for love, but because she was looking for money, by exploiting the men she planned to meet. And she certainly did this, telling some dreadful lies and causing terrible distress, as we will hear today...
