The Beast of Birkenhead: 3. Because She Was A Woman
5/4/202640 min
Diane Sindall’s murder ignites a movement with women across Birkenhead. Fueled by anger and grief they challenge police attitudes, confront society’s view of women and demand change.
Against this backdrop Peter Sullivan stands trial. We examine the case built against him with contested confessions, disputed forensic evidence and testimony the jury never heard.

This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK. [Instrumental music plays] Ever invest in something that seemed incredible at first but didn't live up to the hype? Like those $5 roses at a gas station, or a secondhand piece of technology that breaks in the first 10 minutes. Marketers know that feeling. We optimize for the numbers that look great: impressions, reach, and reacts. But when they don't show revenue, well, that's a not so great conversation with the CFO. LinkedIn has a word for that: bull spend. Now you can invest in what looks good to your CFO. LinkedIn Ads generates the highest ROAS of all major ad networks. You'll reach the right buyers because you can target by company, industry, job title, and more. So cut the bull spend. Advertise on LinkedIn, the network that works for you. Spend $250 on your first campaign on LinkedIn Ads and get a 250 credit for the next one. Just go to linkedin.com/broadcast. That's linkedin.com/broadcast. Terms and conditions apply.
