These are brilliantly put together, really well produced and the motion graphics intros are fantastic.

[@tonydoherty2190]

I don't understand why someone high up in the police question why they kept being targeted. Even though they were being moved around for their protection. Couldn't they work out it was someone inside the police force. Tipping colin gunn off

[@keithgray4891]

Interesting subject , I didn’t think or even consider the seaside had that kind of reputation..

[@xlia2114]

Yep more than in the city 🌃

[@KARREN-KRASS]

Oh dear yes indeed the seaside s notoriously know for killing sprees. It’s because of the carnival side shows those clowns that their heads move from side to side , and you put a ping pong ball in there mouth. Seaside = Carnival/amusement park=clowns = serial killers. 🤡 Guyra welcome 😂

[@AnimeShinigami13]

It does when you cherry pick what cases you want to cover around a theme. It's like just looking at Deadly Women for information about famous crimes without ever looking at any other form of fictional or non fiction crime media. With no context, you'd expect what you're looking at to be normal.

[@davidandrews8963]

I LIVE IN CROMER I THOUGHT OUR BEACH WAS NICE BUT THIS ONE WOW ALL THAT BEAUTIFUL SAND SAD TRAGIC STORY THIS NEEDLESS AS MOST MURDERS ARE 🤜🤛♥️

[@jennysmith330]

Why were they not given more protection? This story is shocking.

[@AnimeShinigami13]

remember what the documentary said? they refused it because they hadn't done anything wrong.

[@manda.watching.YouTube]

Like the witness protection they said no to?

[@russchamberlain536]

They was offered protection but thought they was better than protection and through there stupidity they paid the ultimate price

[@cindysmith6612]

Thank you

[@whitemonkey7932]

The police didn't put two and two together and work out the Gun's mother lived in the same village?

[@katherinecollins4685]

Well researched

[@whitemonkey7932]

Got to laugh....the plod got a warning which they faxed to the local force who couldn't find sufficient reason to do anything... Police protection wasn't enough reason😅

[@R.ELL1]

I cant get past the carnval music

[@maymalone1505]

I definitely would have gone i to withness protection, with only 1 person knowing where, also left the country😮 if joan dident want withness why write and ask for help to get out, why was there no response to the prowler call,makes no sence there was no idea thatGunns had a mobile home a few .miles down the coast, amazing 👏 😮

[@cmonthedees1381]

Im sorry but Your spelling is terrible

[@cmonthedees1381]

I mean it's witness protection not withness, didn't not dident and also sense instead of sence I mean come on your spelling is just the worst

[@admiralsnackbar69]

The police in Lincolnshire had no clue to how bad it was for the couple as Nottingham police kept it hush due to a massive secret op. Hence why they didn't take some random in the garden seriously.

[@johncarlisle6865]

wow, being in your 50's is regarded as ELDERLY according to this guy

[@RRRRRaa]

Your heart does not literally bleed for them.

[@maymalone1505]

Very silly

[@Rimsey1966]

You need to get to a hospital then, because you will probably die from a literal bleed in the heart. tw*t

[@user-bf9zw2yy1x]

If you do not understand Gunns thinking, you must not have any family. The presenter is weird in his thinking considering he writes about crime

[@Akhigh-sr6yf]

I completely agree. In Gunns eyes Michael's parents were guilty by association and fair game. They didn't take advice to stay in protection and they didn't move far enough away. Their son is responsible for all of this I'm afraid. You play with fire, you will get burned

[@user-bf9zw2yy1x]

nice to know there is someone else out there with a brain, thank you. @@Akhigh-sr6yf

[@amybishop9787]

As someone who knew Marian Bates and saw first hand the devastation Gunn and his ilk caused, I’ve nothing for revulsion for the man and his family and associates But this couple’s execution is directly linked to their son and they should have taken the advice given them. It didn’t matter that they were innocent, they were in grave danger, and they had better warning if that danger that the Bates’ family

[@colinluckens9591]

It doesn't take away from the evil of Gunn and his actions - HE'S the only one responsible for their murders.....

[@ryanjakes1913]

Sounds like continuous police failures as usual

[@lorraineforster8164]

I feel very sorry for the young blond commentator. Her eyes can’t keep still and I think she suffers from trauma. Dr Donna Young.

[@michaelevans205]

She pops up in a lot of documentaries. She never looks at the camera!

[@bingolingo7021]

Ha OK I'm not the only one who can't stop thinking...fruity glasses

[@KARREN-KRASS]

It’s Elton John! 😂

[@bulltraderpt]

Police failure.

[@brendanj383]

How am i supposed to take mrs. elton john look alike seriously???

[@MzHyde-bz2nd]

😂😂😂😂right

[@StarChild1884]

The same way you expect me to take a Rasputin lookalike seriously. 😂

[@AnimeShinigami13]

Elton John was awarded knightship and has a long and successfull career. You should take the singer himself seriously because he's probably done way more with his life than you and has way more money than you could ever dream of. As for the true crime writer, I want to see how masculine YOU look when you're old. Like what were you expecting dude? Nathen Fillian?

[@leethornton1886]

​@AnimeShinigami13 I'm guessing you are a Elton John fan

[@user-uw7rs4ww9h]

​@@AnimeShinigami13 who rattled your cage seems like u fancy him..tbh u probably stand a chance

[@colinluckens9591]

I wish you wouldn't SENSATIONALISE the narrative so much, continuously upping the ante....just state the bald facts and stop turning the murders of 2 innocent human beings into some kind of circus.....

[@MR-lx3nm]

Bruh! WTFfffffyou wearin? You advice
