Cornish Witches, Abuse & Murder

  Murder Victim, Peter Solheim was a child rapist This pagan paedophile was found dead in the sea, his partner was convicted of planning his murder, but no one has been convicted of the actual murder In June 2004 A former councillor from Cornwall, England was found dead at sea after his dinghy was found adrift off Falmouth harbour. He was initially thought to have drowned, but a post-mortem examination revealed he had in fact been tortured and murdered. Peter Solheim was not just a "nice old chap" who was murdered without reason, far from it and although his partner of nine years, Margaret James is serving a 20-year prison sentence for plotting the murder, no one has ever been convicted of actually killing him. The former councillor was found dead at sea several miles off the Lizard Peninsula by fishermen, he had been drugged, his body mutilated and then still barely alive cast adrift to drown. Reports from the police say that they believed that the injuries to Solheim's

"Scientology Made Me Do It"

Double Murderer Blames Scientology For Making Him Kill  Kenneth Wayne Thompson claims that his belief in the Scientology religion ultimately led to the pre-meditated killing of his sister-in-law and her boyfriend. A devoted Scientologist used a very novel and unusual defence for him murdering two innocent people in cold blood in Arizona.  Peter Wayne Thompson made 24 hours plus drive from his home in Missouri to Arizona to carry out the cold and calculated murders in which he bludgeoned two people to death using a hatchet and a knife, then set the house on fire to try to hide the evidence.  The killer used the novel defence claiming that his actions were quite rational if understood through the lens of Scientology. Thompson believed that he needed to "rescue" a child because his spiritual well=being was at risk.   The child concerned, a boy was Thompson's wife's nephew, fortunately, he nor his sister were present at the house in Arizona when the gruesome murders took

Investigating Religious Cults & True Crime Connections

 What Secrets Are These Religious Cults So Desperate To Hide What "Church" is so desperate to take control of people's lives in the 21st century? Since I began to research the cases of such organisations as The Exclusive Brethren, The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church and several others I have learnt so much. I originally began to look into reports of a 'cult' that was literally controlling people's lives, which in the United Kingdom at least is totally unlawful.  I just fail to understand how the teachings and doctrines of these religious sects can possibly be seen as Christian or indeed any other religious denomination that serves a "God".  Separation from the rest of the world around us, control of visitors to homes, stopping the progression of education and even the clothes that everyday individuals wear are 'the norm' inside these cult groups that are using religion, particularly Christianity to keep this secret world growing.  This tru

The Coronation Street Killer - Daniel Bartlam

Teenager Murderer Killed His Mother With A Hammer  Daniel Bartlam was just 14-years-old when he killed his mother Jacqueline Bartlam after watching Coronation Street on the television  Easter Monday in 2011 was a supposed to be a day of peace and holiday, but not in Redhill, Nottingham. Instead of enjoying the Easter holidays, 14-year-old Daniel Bartlam took a hammer and beat his mother to death, before surrounding her body with paper and setting the house on fire. The schoolboy who was absolutely obsessed with The Coronation Street murderer, John Stape and had loved horror movies since he was 8 years old was sentenced to life in prison to serve no less than sixteen years before being eligible to apply for parole after he killed his mother then set the house on fire to burn the evidence. Daniel, who was 14 at the time originally told police that he thought his mother had been murdered by a burglar at the family home but then changed his story admitting that he had killed her when he lo

Unsolved Murder of An Exclusive Brethren

  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 shocked

Harold Shipman - Doctor Death

  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 well
