Crimes That Shook Britain (West Country)

Murder of Joanne Yeates Landscape architect Joanna Yeates, 25, disappeared on 17 December 2010, following a night out with colleagues.  The last CCTV footage of Joanna showed her in a Tesco Express at around 8:40pm. 

Following a huge manhunt, Joanna’s frozen body was eventually discovered on a snowy roadside verge that Christmas morning. The murder investigation was one of the larges ever undertaken in the Bristol area, dominating the news. 

On 20 January her Dutch neighbour Vincent Tabak, 32, was arrestedfor murder. He was obsessed with violent sex and pornography.  In October 2011, after being found guilty of strangling Joanna, Vincent Tabak was jailed for live, to serve a minimum of 20 years. 

The Wests Married couple Fred and Rose West tortured, raped, and brutally murdered scores of young women unlucky enough to end up at their Gloucester house. 

The victims were dismembered, and many buried in the family home. The Wests’ decades of depravity were only uncovered in February 1993, following a tip-off. 

Fred West hanged himself in his cell on New Years Day 1995 while awaiting trial for 12 murders. That November, Rose West was convicted of 10 murders and given a whole-life tariff. 

Carnkie Killings  The killings shocked the Cornish hamlet of Carnkie in 2000. Lee Ford, 33, had told friends his wife Lesley, 36, had left him. Now she and her children - Sarah-Jane, 17, Ann-Marie, 16, Steven, 14, and Craig, 13 - had been found in the shed, two in a field six miles away. 

All had been garotted with a rope.  Ford was arrested and pleaded guilty to murder. He gave no motive but the court heard he’d had a sexual relationship with Sarah-Jane. Ford was jailed for life. 

Murder of Becky Watts In February 2015, schoolgirl Becky Watts, 16, vanished from the Bristol home where she lived with her dad and step-mum. 

After a huge police search, her stepbrother Nathan Matthews and his girlfriend Shauna Hoare were arrested for murder - to the horror of Becky’s family.  During the trial, Nathan claimed he’d killed Becky by accident, trying to scare her. But the court heard Becky was suffocated and stabbed in an alleged sexually motivated kidnap plot. 

The couple put Becky’s body in their car boot, driving home hours later. They used a power saw to cut up her body, bagged it and arranged to store it in a shed.  Matthews, 28, was convicted of Becky’s murder and sentenced to life, with a minimum term of 33 years. Hoare, 21, got 17 years after being convicted of manslaughter. 

Christopher Halliwell When Sian O’Callaghan, 22, went missing after a night out in Swindon, in March 2011, police soon suspected taxi driver Christopher Halliwell. 

His car was caught in CCTV close to where she was last seen. After his arrest, Halliwell led police to Sian’s semi-naked body dumped on a country road. She’d been stabbed to death. 

He then confessed to killing Becky Godden-Edwards, 20, who’d disappeared in January 2003, and led them to her shallow grave nearby.  At Bristol Crown Court, Halliwell pleaded guilty to murdering Sian. And, after a separate trial, he was convicted of murdering Becky and handed a whole-life term. 

Eunice Spry Known as Britain’s most evil mother, for over 19 years Eunice Spry abused three foster children, viciously beating, starving them and making them live in a barn.

As a toddler, Spry’s adopted daughter was made to eat cat food, and even her own vomit, at their Tewkesbury home.  After Spry moved the family to an isolated farmhouse, a 10-year-old was tied by his feet to Spry’s van and dragged at speed across a field. 

She forced sticks down the children’s throats and scrubbed them with sandpaper.  When one found the courage to speak out, Spry was arrested and found guilty of 26 charges, including unlawful wounding and assault occasioning ABH.

Initially jailed for 14 years, reduced to 12, Spry was freed after serving half her sentence.

I could honestly see Soph going to this expansion team whenever her contract is up. Closer to her family and it’s closer to Arizona where Mr. Sophia Smith plays.

Absolutely!!! Her contract is through this season with a player option for 2026. I can definitely see her becoming the Denver banner player for 2026 (that’s when we’ve heard they’ll begin play but obviously nothing confirmed).

I could see Mal or Lindsey also possibly going there as that first big player. For both of them family is closer by, there’s an MLB team for Dansby, and for Ty there’s an MLS team for him to do whatever his job is.

I wish tumblr had a trick or treat where you just go into their ask box and say “trick or treat” and they just gave you… SOMETHING. Doesn’t matter what. It could be a random ass headcannon or drawing or just a random photo they found on pintrest or something. I’d totally do that

Join me and my friend Laura as we explore biblical and artistic images of God on wheels — from the wheeled throne of Daniel 7 to art of Jesus in a wheelchair.

Drawing from the writings and lived experiences of Rabbi Julia Watts Belser, a teen named Becky Tyler, Professor Nancy Eiesland, and Laura themself, we make a case for why such images matter in the face of stigma, inaccessibility, and unsolicited prayers for "healing."

As Rabbi Watts Belser puts it, in a world where some bodies are assumed to be "incompatible with the sacred," it is vital theology to "name and claim our bodies as close to the Divine."

☕ is there anything other than Tolkien? 🤣

HELLO! HI! THank you soooo much for the ask, darling J! <3 I so appreciate it!

--

This is gonna be looooong

I went back and forth on authors for you, J! It was difficult to pinpoint one...so I didn't! So, here are a few I think you'd enjoy for their love of nature, small joys and kindness;

Tove Jansson; a Finnish author best known for moomin. Her works (like the Summer Book) are all about the little things and family and kindness and belonging.

Terry Pratchett; wildly famous English comic fantasy author. I've only read a handful of his novels but I have about 10 more on hold rn at the library but of what I know so far, Terry's novels are warm sunny magical adventures bound up in paper. These novels are joyful, funny, and avoids (as is too common in the fantasy genre) hateful stereotypes.

Also just bc I love them so much and they came up when I was brainstorming but didn't fit perfectly here are few a little more distanced authors (aka darker works); Sarah Moss, Claire Keegan, Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Elizabeth Gaskell, and my ultimate fave, E.M. Forster <3)

and here are some books I think fit your ~vibes~;

Sweet Bean Paste (Durian Sukegawa, T. Alison Watts) - a book about friendship, redemption and second chances. (reflective, hopeful, inspiring, lit fic)

The House in the Cerulean Sea (T.J. Klune) - a cozy, magical novel about standing out and fitting in, also the antichrist is a 6 year old. (hopeful, emotional, funny, fantasy, fic, light romcom, lgbtq+)

A Psalm for the Wild Built/A Prayer for the Crown Shy (Becky Chambers) - an absolutely beautiful novella duology about a distant solarpunk future and the friendship between people, especially a tea monk and a robot. (inspiring, reflective, scifi, fiction, lgbt+)

Thursday Murder Club Series (Richard Osman) - do you want to read about a bunch of 70 year olds getting together in the puzzle room on thursday to solve murders? BC IT'S HILARIOUS AND COZY AND AHHH. I think you'd like Joyce <3 (mystery, fiction, humour, comtemp, lighthearted, adventurous, emotional, hopful)

Legends and Lattes (Travis Baldree) - what if i told you someone wrote a book about an orc opening a cafe? bc it's real and it's sooooo cozy! (fantasy, fiction, cozy, lighthearted, hopeful, relaxing, lgbt+)

--

I could go on forEVER about cozy, lighthearted fantasy novels haha! I hope you find a book to read from all of these peeps who are just slightly less cool than you <3

1, 2, 15, 19!

you're about to see my red flag of rarely reading books unless they have gay people in it. 🙈

1. book you’ve reread the most times? - The Foxhole Court by Nora Sakavic

2. top 5 books of all time? - Blindsight by Peter Watts - The Still by David Feintuch - The Rifter by Ginn Hale - By the Mountain Bound by Elizabeth Bear - Warchild by Karin Lowachee

15. recommend and review a book. i never did a review for Amberlough but i really liked it so here's a mini one! Amberlough by Lara Elena Donnelly - 4.5 ★'s M/M Historical Mystery Spy Thriller

a gay double-agent schemes to protect his smuggler lover during the rise of a fascist government coup this book has some of the most catered-to-me characters i've ever seen, they constantly felt too good to be real. the world is absolutely rich with color and glamor and grit and not everything is handed to you on a silver platter. you have to do a bit of your own work to understand the finer details and i love when a book does that, even if the politics were a little confusing at first. it's immersive, it's high stakes, its so unbelievably sexy. the drama and tension between Cyril and Aristide never let go of my attention, i loved every possible facet of their relationship. and their story is absolutely solid. the whole thing felt like a dream, like the quality was way too good to feature this much attention on messy, hopeless, viscous gay people. i haven't read the rest of the series yet but i do want to. (i am, however, a blond Cyril denier. that man has dark hair and you can't convince me otherwise.)

19. most disliked popular books? i don't read popular books on principle but here's a few that sort of qualify! - The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater (had to DNF) - Wicked Gentlemen by Ginn Hale (the first book i read by her and i absolutely hated it. i can't even fathom what my life might have been like if i never gave her another try after this) - The Scottish Boy by Alex di Campi (how the hell does this stuff even get published) - The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers (really not a fan of constant quirky dialogue and low stakes... everything)

thanks! book asks
