Please don't get too excited by the title of this podcast. By definition, Burkitt was a serial killer whose killing area was Hull, but I think that the nickname 'The King of the Serial Killers' that was given to him by fellow prisoners was perhaps ironic as Burkitt was a rather pathetic human being.
I had never heard of this story before but I think it is of some interest as Burkitt managed to avoid the hangman on three occasions when most people would have thought that he had committed murder on three separate occasions.
Please be advised that this podcast is recorded in one take without editing.
