S03E02 - "The Sunderland Strangler" Steven Grieveson

In the second episode of British Murders Season 3, I tell the story of Steven Grieveson aka The Sunderland Strangler.

Grieveson murdered four teenage boys by way of strangulation in Sunderland between May 26, 1990 - February 25, 1994.

He then set the bodies on fire in derelict allotments and guest houses.

He was handed three life sentences on February 28, 1996, for the first three murders and a further life sentence on October 24, 2013, after the fourth murder came to light.
