Ep. 71 - Iran: The Chain Murders and The Spider Killer

سلام

This week we’re off to Iran!

Kate kicks us off with the Chain Murders; an intense string of seemingly connected killings throughout the late 80s-90s.

Georgie then dives into another spate of murders at the hands of the Spider Killer and the shocking reaction from those that praised him.

Join us this week for political schemes, warped morals and cliff edge drama.
