Episode 390 - Delia Balmer: Surviving a Serial Killer

About this episode

<p>Delia Balmer’s ex-boyfriend wasn’t just a scruffy stoner with a pet tarantula and a sketchbook full of gruesome drawings: <em>he was a murderer. </em>The infamous ‘Canal Killer’ John Sweeney told Delia he had killed before – but after the police ignored her repeated warnings, she ended up barely escaping with her life. This is the harrowing true story behind hit ITV drama ‘Until I Kill You’: one of horror, survival, and a broken justice system that let a monster slip through the cracks.</p><p><strong>Read Delia’s book here:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/462261/until-i-kill-you-by-balmer-delia/9781529920321">https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/462261/until-i-kill-you-by-balmer-delia/9781529920321</a></p><p><strong>Exclusive bonus content:</strong></p><p><a href="https://wondery.com/shows/redhanded/">Wondery</a> - Ad-free &amp; ShortHand</p><p><a href="http://patreon.com/redhanded">Patreon</a> - Ad-free &amp; Bonus Episodes</p><p><strong>Follow us on social media:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dovjXDB69lhDjASbAgnwA">YouTube</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@redhandedthepod">TikTok</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/redhandedthepod/">Instagram</a></p><p><strong>Visit our website:</strong></p><p><a href="https://redhandedpodcast.com/">Website</a></p><p><strong><em>Sources available on </em></strong><a href="http://redhandedpodcast.com/"><strong><em><a href="http://redhandedpodcast.com">redhandedpodcast.com</a></em></strong></a></p>
