Mabel was stabbed 22 times before her body was subjected to a series of bizarre rituals. Hardman removed her heart, drank her blood and positioned two fire pokers at her feet in the shape of a cross. The case became known as the ‘Welsh Vampire Murder’, but what drove a teenager to commit such an extraordinary crime? We look back at Mabel's murder, the evidence that led police to Hardman and the disturbing obsession behind the killing.

The inquiry found serious safeguarding failures at the Countess of Chester Hospital and concluded that the failure to alert police earlier to concerns about Letby's conduct had devastating consequences for children and their families. Professor David Wilson and Martin Frizell are joined by Christopher Morris, author of a new book examining the Lucy Letby case. They discuss the findings of the inquiry, the ongoing investigation into potential corporate manslaughter and gross negligence at the hospital, and the growing debate surrounding the safety of Letby's convictions. While the Thirlwall Inquiry made clear its position that Letby is responsible for the crimes for which she was convicted, Morris's book brings together experts who question whether her convictions are safe and explores the possibility of the case returning to the Court of Appeal.

Clancy was on trial over the deaths of her three young children, with her defence arguing that she was not criminally responsible by reason of insanity. After deliberations, the jury was unable to reach the unanimous verdict required, resulting in a mistrial. Professor David Wilson and Martin Frizell examine the case, the arguments surrounding Clancy's mental state and the extraordinary circumstances that left the jury unable to agree. They also discuss the intense public attention surrounding the trial, how one dissenting juror can result in a mistrial and what could happen next in a case that has divided opinion across America.
