    Episode 1: The Pusher
    Nov 22 2025
    Over the last two decades, more than 80 bodies have been pulled from Manchester’s canals - a statistic that has fuelled rumours of a serial killer stalking the waterways at night. Locals call him The Pusher: an unseen figure lurking in the shadows, shoving unsuspecting victims into the dark, icy water. But is the Pusher a real predator… or a modern urban legend born from fear, tragedy, and unanswered questions? In this opening episode of Manchester Murders, we delve into a mystery that has gripped Manchester. We explore the cases that sparked the theory, the haunting patterns that refuse to go away, and the experts who insist the truth is far more complicated. You’ll hear about the victims, the investigations, the controversies - and why the myth persists despite repeated police denials.

    Episode 5: Murder at Mother Mac's
    Dec 19 2025
    In the early hours of a June morning in 1976, a quiet pub on the edge of Manchester’s Northern Quarter became the scene of one of the city’s most disturbing crimes. Mother Mac’s - then a modest backstreet local near Piccadilly - was run by Arthur Bradbury, a man known to regulars as reserved, private, and deeply devoted to his family. Behind closed doors, however, something was unravelling. When police were called to the pub, they discovered a scene that would shock even seasoned officers: a family annihilated, a building turned into a crime scene, and a man who had taken his own life after killing those closest to him.

  • Episode 6: New Year Nightmares

    Episode 6: New Year Nightmares
    Jan 2 2026
    As the clocks ticked toward a new year, two men named Ashley set out on ordinary nights — and never came home. In this New Year special of Manchester Murders, Susan revisits the devastating cases of Ashley McGurk and Ashley Walsh, two unrelated men whose lives were violently cut short on the streets of Greater Manchester more than a decade apart. Ashley McGurk was just 32 when a Christmas night out in 2011 ended in a brutal assault on his walk home from a social club in Moston. Captured on CCTV, the attack lasted only minutes — but its consequences would echo for years, raising painful questions about violence, accountability, and why no one has yet been held responsible. More than ten years later, in January 2022, 34-year-old Ashley Walsh was reported missing after leaving home in Oldham. What followed was a deeply disturbing case involving exploitation, control, and catastrophic failures by multiple agencies — failures that an inquest would later lay bare. This episode explores the parallels and contrasts between the two cases: the randomness of street violence, the slow grind of investigations, the toll on families left behind, and the uncomfortable reality that justice does not always arrive swiftly — or at all. A reflective and hard-hitting New Year episode, Manchester Murders asks what these deaths tell us about vulnerability, responsibility, and the systems meant to protect us — as another year begins.
