Summary

"I have just murdered my wife in her bed. I have just stabbed them, and slit their throats. His name is Martin Griffiths. There is blood everywhere. This has just happened. My children are safe at my mother's house"

This was the context of a call to an emergency services operator in the early hours of New Year's Day, 2020, the implications of which were to rock the village of Duffield, in Derbyshire, to the core - and leave three families destroyed.

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find offensive or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.
