0:31
and welcome to the slightly delayed episode 397 of
0:33
the UK True Crime Podcast. I'm Adam. Today's
0:39
story is about family, money and
0:41
greed. And it's from Sheffield
0:43
where I will be for the first
0:45
British True Crime Convention on Saturday 7th
0:48
September. There
0:50
are so many interesting speakers from the world
0:52
of law enforcement and tickets are now on
0:54
sale for only £44 for the full day
0:56
including lunch, which is amazing value. If
1:00
you look in the show notes, you will see a link
1:03
to the event. So take a look, get a ticket and
1:05
I'll see you there. Ok,
1:07
so before we start the story today, let's
1:09
quickly set some context when the events we
1:11
talked about occurred with our never
1:13
copied Guess the Month and Year game. Why is
1:16
that I wonder? Anyway. Britney
1:19
Spears was top of the UK Music Charts with Born
1:21
to Make You Happy. In the
1:23
US Smooth was at the summit
1:25
from Santana featuring Rob Thomas. And
1:27
in Australia, Macy Grey was at
1:30
number one with I Try. In
1:34
the news this month, the favorite of
1:36
conspiracy theorists, Bill Gates stepped
1:39
aside as Chief Exec of Microsoft
1:42
and promoted company president Steve Bulmer to
1:44
the position. A
1:46
Scottish trawler, the Solway Harvester sank
1:48
in the Irish sea killing seven
1:50
sailors. And there
1:52
were two significant pieces of UK true crime news.
1:55
Firstly, Harold Shipman was sentenced to life
1:57
in prison after being found
2:00
guilty. of murdering 15 patients in Greater Manchester
2:02
between 1995 and 1998. The subsequent
2:07
inquiry concluded he killed at least 215,
2:09
staggering. And the Liberal Democrat
2:14
MP for Cheltenham, Nigel Jones, was
2:16
attacked his constituency surgery by a man
2:18
with a samurai sword. 39 year
2:22
old Andrew Pennington, a counselor, came
2:24
to Nigel's defence. He
2:26
was stabbed nine times and later died. Ok,
2:29
he says yes the month and year. It
2:32
was January 2000 when we were all
2:34
looking to the new millennium with such
2:36
optimism for the future. Do
2:38
you still feel the same? Oh
2:42
dear, today's story comes from Sheffield, a
2:44
city known for its still heritage with easy
2:47
access to the Pennines and the Peak District.
2:50
It's around 30 miles south from the home of
2:52
World Football Leeds and about 165
2:55
miles northwest of London. Some
2:57
famous people from Sheffield include the actor
3:00
Sean Bean, top athlete turned
3:02
mediocre administrator Seb Coe, an
3:05
all-around top man and ex
3:07
Monty Python star Michael Palin,
3:09
somebody who nobody ever has a bad word
3:11
to say about, a bit
3:14
like me. It
3:16
was a bright January day in Sheffield at
3:18
about 4 p.m. as two friends are walking
3:21
to return a drill bit to a tool
3:23
factory in the Attacliff area of
3:25
the city. As they walked
3:27
they saw something just off the pavement in the
3:29
hedges. It hadn't been covered up
3:31
and was easily spotted. It
3:34
was a hold all about three foot long. The
3:36
two men who found it carried it down the
3:39
road thinking it contained something valuable like an engine.
3:41
It was certainly big enough. The
3:43
bag was covered by a bedding sheet tied down
3:46
with rope and then wrapped in
3:48
polythene. They put the package
3:50
down and did the rope unzip the bag, peeled
3:52
open the polythene and got the shock
3:54
of their lives. They'd found a
3:57
badly decomposed body. I
26:00
don't need to tell you that it was pure stupidity
26:04
to think it was safe as the identity of
26:06
the body could never be traced I
26:09
just don't get it, even they gone
26:11
to so much effort to conceal Muhammad's
26:14
death It just
26:16
makes no sense to me And
26:18
now both men have to spend a long time in jail
26:22
And the community in Sheffield was robbed of
26:24
a kind man at the very centre of
26:27
the community And
26:29
once again the motive was just greed,
26:31
money All his
26:33
kindness towards his family We paid
26:36
in the most shocking and brutal
26:38
way imaginable Thank
