Episode 23: Mary Bell

TODAY’S CASE
In 1968, 11-year-old Mary Bell shocked the UK when she was arrested for the brutal killings of two young boys in Newcastle. But what drives a child to murder? In this episode, we dive into Mary’s troubled upbringing, the psychological evaluations that followed, and the haunting question: was she a victim, a villain, or both?

Note: This episode discusses real-life tragic events and contains sensitive content that may be distressing to some listeners.
