S03E05 - "The Homicidal Homophobe" Colin Ireland

In the fifth episode of British Murders Season 3, I tell the story of Colin Ireland aka The Homicidal Homophobe.⁣<br />⁣<br />Between March 8, 1993, and June 15, 1993, Ireland killed 5 gay men in London.⁣<br />⁣<br />Ireland had targeted the men, all of whom were into S&M, as he had made a new year's resolution to become a serial killer and he felt they would be easy targets.<br />⁣<br />Ireland was handed 5 life sentences on December 20, 1993, and later added to the list of prisoners serving out a whole life tariff, which meant that he would never be released from prison.<br />⁣<br />He died of natural causes at Wakefield prison on February 21, 2012.⁣<br /><br />Follow British Murders on social media:<br />Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/britishpodcast" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/britishpodcast</a><br />Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/britishmurders" rel="noopener">https://www.instagram.com/britishmurders</a><br />TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/" rel="noopener">https://www.tiktok.com/</a>@britishmurders<br />Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/britishmurders" rel="noopener">https://twitter.com/britishmurders</a><br />YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/BritishMurdersPodcast" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/c/BritishMurdersPodcast</a><br /><br />Merchandise available here:<br /><a href="https://teespring.com/stores/britishmurders" rel="noopener">https://teespring.com/stores/britishmurders</a><br /><br />Support the show on Patreon for early access to ad-free-episodes:<br /><a href="https://www.patreon.com/britishmurders" rel="noopener">https://www.patreon.com/britishmurders</a><br /><br />Make a one-off donation here:<br /><a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/britishmurders" rel="noopener">https://www.buymeacoffee.com/britishmurders</a> <br /><br />All episodes are available on my website:<br /><a href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/british-murders" rel="noopener">https://www.spreaker.com/show/british-murders</a><br /><br />Please send any British
