HanFan Trevors... have we got good news for you! We're back... slightly frazzled, mildly sleep deprived and very much doing our best.

Tune in for chat about chaotic coach journeys, questionable life admin, Mother's Day highs and lows, and a near full-scale household meltdown involving a missing cat (don't worry, she's fine...)

In January 1992, on a quiet residential street in Wallington, South London, Nimal Samarasinha stepped outside to warm up his car before taking his daughter to school. Minutes later, he was dead. Stabbed once through the heart, in broad daylight, on his own driveway. No witnesses, no robbery, no obvious motive.

What followed uncovered a life built on layers of secrecy. A respected council official hiding a gambling addiction, mounting debts, forged documents and a double life that was on the brink of exposure. But even with a conviction, one question has never been answered. Who actually carried out the murder?

#Trevors, journey back with us to 1573 and Shooters Hill in the Tudor period, where Rach walks us through one of the oldest cases we've covered on Sinister South, the murder of George Saunders by another George, and two Annes...

We take you through what happened on the highway to Kent and the coast and all that lay beyond, when a man who decided he wanted someone else's wife for himself got a bit happy with a dagger.

Expect lots of mispronunciations of Olde English, questionable "facts" and a dive into a world of lust, love and murder, tudor style!

Also we celebrate the launch of Hannah's new YouTube channel "Hike with Hannah" and question Rachel's thinking about whether using dead criminals as signposting landmarks is actually the way forward...

Big love

We kick this one off the only way we know how.

A bit tired. A bit dramatic about adulthood. Slightly over-analysing targeted ads that know we’re stressed. There’s chat about mini retirements, South London buses, and whether four ciders was really necessary on a school night.

And then we talk about Wayne.

On 19 February 1990, 11-year-old Wayne Taylor left his home in Kennington with a pound in his pocket to get the bus to Brixton to see his dad. It was half term. It was a normal journey. He knew the area. He was expected home that evening.

He never came back. Two days later, Wayne was found inside a disused community centre on the Somerleyton Estate. He had been sexually assaulted and murdered. The investigation would eventually link his death to an earlier attack on another young boy, and early DNA evidence would identify the man responsible.

The case was solved. The killer was convicted. But Wayne’s name never became one the country seemed to hold onto.

In this episode, we talk about who Wayne was, what happened in those final hours, and why his story feels like one that slipped quietly past the national conversation.
