In the sixth episode of British Murders Season 4, I tell the story of Colin Cheetham and Stuart Ludlam.⁣⁣Gun enthusiast Cheetham had always dreamed of committing the perfect murder with a complete stranger as his victim.On September 17, 2009, his dream came true as he shot and killed 43-year-old taxi driver Stuart Ludlam at Cromford Railway Station.Cheetham had zero connection to Ludlam, and most frightening of all, there was zero motive behind the killing.Cheetham was sentenced to life imprisonment in June 2010 with a minimum term of 30 years.He died at HMP Wakefield on May 1, 2020, at the age of 71.For all things British Murders, please visit my website:https://www.britishmurders.com/Intro music:David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet'https://linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusicMy recording equipment:Shure SM7B Vocal Microphone: https://amzn.to/3F1JkkjCloud Microphone Cloudlifter CL1: https://amzn.to/2XZicC8Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio Interface: https://amzn.to/3kKCLL2Rode PSA-1 Professional Studio Boom Arm: https://amzn.to/3zHJOs8Purchase 'The Serial Killer's Book of Haiku' by Rose Bundy here:https://amzn.to/3lYRMbuRecorded in:ZoomEdited in:AudacityDaVinci Resolve 17Mastered in:AuphonicReferences:https://www.britishmurders.com/colincheetham/ Learn more about your ad choices.
