In this chilling episode of UK Crime Podcast, we delve into the harrowing tale of Jonathan Balls, the man infamously known as the "Happisburgh Poisoner." Operating in the quiet village of Happisburgh, Norfolk, during the early 19th century, Balls is suspected of fatally poisoning at least 22 individuals—most of them his own family members—between 1824 and 1845. His weapon of choice: arsenic.

Despite the mounting number of suspicious deaths, Balls evaded justice during his lifetime. It wasn't until after his own death in 1846, under mysterious circumstances, that the true extent of his alleged crimes came to light. Exhumations and subsequent investigations revealed alarming levels of arsenic in the bodies of several victims, painting a grim picture of a man who may have been one of Britain's most prolific serial killers.

Adding a layer of macabre folklore to the case, local legend suggests that Balls was buried at a crossroads with a stake through his heart—a burial reserved for those believed to be vampires—to prevent him from rising from the grave.

In this episode of UK Crime Podcasts, we delve into the harrowing case of Beverley Allitt, infamously known as the "Angel of Death." Between February and April 1991, while working as a nurse at Grantham and Kesteven Hospital in Lincolnshire, Allitt committed a series of heinous crimes against vulnerable children under her care. Her actions led to the deaths of four young patients, attempted murders of three others, and grievous bodily harm inflicted upon six more.

Allitt's methods were both sinister and calculated, involving the administration of lethal doses of insulin and the introduction of air bubbles into her victims' bloodstreams. Her crimes went undetected for a significant period, raising serious questions about hospital oversight and the mechanisms in place to protect patients.

In May 1993, Allitt was convicted on multiple counts, including murder and attempted murder, receiving 13 life sentences. She is currently detained at Rampton Secure Hospital in Nottinghamshire.
