    A bloke down the road got into his car the other day, wearing a short sleeve shirt.

    …and a tie.

    Murder, 3 doors up the street. Appeared as a prosecution witness, they all got 20 years plus. Little shits.

    My brother so far this year has had:-

    A stabbing about 20 metres from his house, witnessed by his wife.
    Armed police raid his next door neighbour as a suspect into the shooting of a man earlier in the week.

    It’s actually quite a nice neighbourhood 🙂

    When I was very young we lived next door but one to the moors murderers, and for a short while Dr Shipman was my GP,
    And where the two police women were killed by the nutter with a hand grenade and pistol was about three miles up the road..
    I’ve moved now…

    Just thinking though, what a depressing thread to start.

    Couldn’t you have gone with “what was the nicest thing to happen…” etc, instead of linking a 12 year old crime to where you live?

    Meh, humans *puts down wine* 🙁

    I used to live just round the corner from where this took place.

    I was away the actual day of the murder but the Loon was interviewed as part of the house to house enquiries…. Fortunately he hadn’t seen anything.

    There’s a bloke selling flowers at the weekend at the side of the road that crosses the top of ours.

    No traders licence.

    I’ll have that bastard.

    Mrs Toppers was until recently a child protection social worker. Some of the local cases she dealt with are horrible.

    Done in, in the woods at the end of my old garden. It’s a spooky place even now…

    Murder of a disabled person in one place, murdered prostitute in another, human slavery where I used to do tempos.

    Our house was once used as a cannabis farm and ended up being sold “to pay back the proceeds of the crime”! 😆

    Double murder in the alley behind my apartment when I was a student. Several more rapes and murders in the same area in the following years, maybe a one mile radius.

    This house, probably double murders again. #Belfast #Discovernorthernireland

    Edit: and a triple murder just a few minutes from where I grew up…but it was 80 odd years ago. still.

    Actually this particularly gruesome ritualistic murder happened just minutes from mine.

    Most notorious is the Profumo affair which took place in Avon Carrow, a beautiful house in the Warwickshire countryside.

    I just find it interesting. The link is 12 years old as thankfully not too much happens by me.

    I went to school with Fred West’s daughter. Thought we hadn’t seen her for while when that story broke.
    Earlier this year a young lad pretty much had his head cut off outside my old local pub. linky
    No really, its a lovely area….

    A bloke bludgeoned his wife to death just around the corner. It must be the postcode.

    I had a resin model cat, called Pandora, stolen from the front garden a few years back. Was the talk of the neighbourhood for literally minutes.

    Double murder at the end of the street, both victims were friends of mine from school.
    Probably happened about 25 years ago.

    An alleged arm robbery, oddly enough despite armed police, police helicopter etc. no one was ever found or charged. Police told the victim not to give any press statements (which he did), victim claimed the robbers took his rent payment of £4k – strange he only paid a peppercorn rent of £50 per month

    The police quietly dropped the case
