Show notes

This is Part Three of Three of Shattered Memory. On Monday 13th of July at roughly 3:45pm, in the hallway of 105 Onslow Square in Kensington, SW7, 30-year-old German national Gunther Podola shot Detective Sergeant Raymond Purdy dead. Traced to a nearby hotel at 95 Queen’s Gate, CID detectives and colleagues of the dead officer charged into Gunther’s room… thirty minutes later, he was escorted out, suffering bruises, weakness and amnesia. With one officer dead and the culprit with no memory of what he was being charged with, the whole crux of the trial would be ‘who is telling the truth’, the vengeful officers or the killer with no memory. Date: Thursday 16th of July at roughly 3:45pmLocation: Room 15, Third Floor, 95 Queens Gate, Kensington, SW7Victim: 1 (Detective Sergeant Raymond William Purdy)Culprit: 1 (Gunther Fritz Edwin Podola)Method: shooting and police brutality Blog - https://www.murdermiletours.com/blog/murder-mile-uk-true-crime-podcast-220-shattered-memory-the-trial-of-gunther-podola-part-three Murder Mile is researched, written and performed by Michael of Murder Mile Walks with the main musical themes written and performed by Erik Stein and Jon Boux of Cult With No Name and additional music, as used under the Creative Commons License 4.0.
