  Why Has No Arrest Ever Been Made For This Cult Members' Murder 51-Year-old Esther Soper was a dedicated member of The Exclusive Brethren, she was found murdered with her own tights on New Years Day 1976  Updated 01/10/2020 Okay, following on from my recent blogs investigating the Exclusive Brethren aka The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, this is a story I came across that I feel just makes me ask so many questions. The murder of Esther Soper remains unsolved with no fresh clues decades on, but why?  Esther Soper was a much-loved mother and grandmother with apparently no enemies, yet she was killed in cold blood in her own home on New year's day 1976. This is a far more interesting and complex case than it first appears and I am absolutely satisfied that we can dismiss any theory of a robbery that went wrong. So let's take a look at what we know just from media reports then I will try to take things further.  The brutal murder of 51-year-old Esther Soper really ...

  Doctor Death - The Patient Killer   Who would believe that a GP that was exposed as a serial killer and serious fraudster could possibly still be loved and supported by his former patients Doctor Harold Shipman is one of the most prolific killers in British history, yet he has also been pretty understated. He has been linked to no less than 250 deaths that all happened in and around a small area of North West England. Shipman worked in the town of Hyde in Greater Manchester. He was highly respected by his patients and their families, none of them ever suspecting that there was a secret web of deceit and murder going on right under their noses. Those horrendous crimes were being committed by a definite 'wolf in sheep's clothing, as he readily seemed to fit in with everyday community life.  The doctor became a member of various small-town committees, helped to organise events for local charities. He was really well thought of and honoured by many locals as their friend as...

 Roger Panes - Death by Heartbreak This is Andover in Hampshire, where 41-year-old Roger Panes murdered his wife and 3 children, then hung himself after being ostracised by the 'cult' church that he loved Roger Panes was a member of The Exclusive Brethren aka The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church before he brutally murdered his wife and their 3 children with an axe, then hung himself with a length of electrical cable.  Why on earth would a loving Christian family man, who was happily married, absolutely dedicated to his faith and loved his church kill his entire family and then himself? Well, I am trying hard to understand that question and I will try to unravel it here.  In November of 1973, Roger Panes was 'shut-up' by the church for a minor misdemeanour of shunning another member, which he admitted to being wrong in doing. For those of you not familiar with the practices of The Exclusive Brethren, being 'shut-up' means to be shunned by all other members of t...

The Lucy McHugh Murder   13-Year-old Lucy McHugh was stabbed 27 times and dumped in woodlands at Southampton Sports Centre in Hampshire, England An evil killer, 25-year-old Stephen Nicholson killed Lucy McHugh on July 25th, 2018 in order to stop her from exposing the dreadful abuse that she had suffered at his hands. At his trial at Winchester Crown Court, evil Nicholson was found guilty of three counts of rape against his 13-year-old victim. The trial judge Mrs. Justice May said that Lucy had "Unknown promise that was cruelly obliterated" by Nicholson, She referred to him as "Totally depraved". The arrest of the predator sparked a massive search for evidence, which included some 11,000 hours of CCTV footage being meticulously examined by expert officers, but it was actually a Facebook password that proved to be the ultimate piece of evidence and was ultimately Nicholson's undoing. The 25-year-old had been the police's prime suspect from the outset of the in...

What Does The Exclusive Brethren Have to Hide   You might assume that this is a building that has been closed down or is awaiting demolition, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, this is the church of The Exclusive Brethren, where people regularly meet to worship and pray I have decided to bring you this report about The Exclusive Brethren. I will start by stating what the official description is and go from there. Please bear with me this is NOT a religious blog, it is true crime research but will cover the religion bits first. "The Exclusive Brethren are a subset of the Christian evangelical movement generally described as The Plymouth Brethren. They are distinguished from the Open Brethren from whom they separated in 1848.  They share some of the same beliefs as many other evangelical Christian groups in that the bible is the literal word of God and that people can only be 'saved' only by faith and belief in Jesus Christ, The trinity Father, Son, and Ho...
