Killers

In a picturesque English village, 30‑year‑old Vikki Thompson went on a routine dog walk and never returned home. What followed led to a groundbreaking legal case that challenged the long‑standing double jeopardy rule — the principle that once acquitted, a person could not be tried twice for the same crime, even murder. When new forensic evidence emerged years later, that protection was set aside, allowing a second trial and marking a landmark shift in British law.

What began as a routine missing‑person case quickly turned into murder, but the mystery was only just beginning.

He wanted to carve his name into history. Instead, history erased him.

For 153 days, Jimmy Prout was tortured in plain sight — abused by a cult-like group who claimed to be his friends. Authorities missed seventeen chances to intervene. By the time his body was found, dumped on wasteland near the Tyne Tunnel, it was too late. This is not just a story of cruelty — it’s a story of silence, failure, and the systems that let it happen.

Katherine Knight was the first woman in Australian history to receive a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Her crime was so horrific that some media outlets refused to cover it.
