In this off-season episode, I bring you the story of the murders of Amy Minton, Arthur Minton, Richard Moran and Sarah Moran in a case commonly referred to as the Pottery Cottage murders.As told by my guest Sally-Anne Martyn, this case has fallen somewhat under the radar, given it took place slap-bang in the middle of the Yorkshire Ripper's killing spree.Escaped convict William Hughes held five members of the Minton/Moran family hostage for over 50+ hours, killing all but Gill Moran.Hughes attempted to escape once the police were informed, but a shootout followed, leaving him dead at the hands of Derbyshire Constabulary. He was the first person to be shot dead by that particular force.Sally-Anne can be reached at her website:sallyannemartyn.comFor all things British Murders, please visit my website:⁣britishmurders.com⁣Intro music:⁣David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet'⁣linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusic⁣ Hosted on Acast.
