Hosted by Yorkshireman Stuart Blues, the show covers listener suggested cases from across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Each episode examines what happened, how the case unfolded, and the wider social, cultural, and historical context surrounding the crime. The show covers British crime cases ranging from domestic abuse, coercive control, missing persons, policing failures, miscarriages of justice, and the long-term effects of violent crime on those left behind. With care, balance, and empathy, placing victims, not offenders, at the centre of every story, British Murders focuses on the human cost of murder and the lasting impact on families and communities. Alongside case deep dives, the podcast features conversations with journalists, authors, campaigners, and criminal justice professionals about responsible true crime storytelling.

It might not sound like much, but for her, it was a big step. She’d made the journey on her own, got the bus, and was doing what any teenager would do, heading out to spend time with someone she trusted. But as the afternoon went on, something didn’t feel right. A message she sent to a friend hinted at that. A quiet moment of doubt. And not long after that, in Culcheth Linear Park, everything changed. Because what happened to Brianna wasn’t a random, spur-of-the-moment act. It was planned. In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues , I take an in-depth look at the murder of Brianna Ghey. A case that shocked Warrington, the North West, and the entire UK.
