Policemen across the globe rightly have the reputation for being trustworthy – but the despicable crimes of Russian serial-killing rapist cop Mikhail Popkov have certainly done the service no favours. Imprisoned for life in 2015 for the murders of 22 women, many of whom were killed while he was on duty, Popkov later confessed to a further 59 killings. Read this issue’s European Crime Report for the full story.

For years the BBC’s Crimewatch did great work in helping police to solve cases, but despite being highlighted in 1984, the murder of 16-year-old Collette Aram remained unsolved for more than two decades. How did the net finally close in on the teen’s killer? Find out in this issue.

Finally, don’t miss our account of Salt Lake City child-killer Arthur Gary Bishop’s case, recently requested by a reader.


Highlights of this issue include:

* Mother Stabs Her Kids To Death To Avoid Divorce

* European Crime Report: “‘Werewolf’ Cop Killed 81 Women,” “Schoolgirl, 14, Raped And Tortured To Death,” “The Dead Man In The Cemetery”

* MD’s Crime Quiz

* Crimewatch Sex-Killer Finally Brought To Justice

* Would Allen Ditson Go To The Gas Chamber?

* Thirty Years On – And Still No Justice For Ann

* MD Double Feature: Clergy Who Kill

* The Severed Finger In The Lane

* “I Will Serve My Time In Hell”

* Was Lack Of Sex A Motive To Murder?
