S03E09 - “Devilman” David Harker (The Murder of Julie Paterson)

British Murders with Stuart Blues - A podcast by Stuart Blues - Thursdays

In the ninth episode of British Murders Season 3, I tell the story of "Devilman" David Harker.⁣⁣In April 1998, David Harker killed Julie Paterson in his flat by strangulation.⁣⁣He then claimed to have cut off some flesh from Julie's thigh, fried it in garlic butter and ate it with pasta.⁣David also claimed to be a necrophiliac and told psychiatrists he'd had sex with Julie's corpse before wiping it down with bleach and sawing off her head and limbs.⁣To this day, Julie Paterson's head, arms and legs have never been found.⁣David Harker pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 14 years.⁣⁣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 SM57 Dynamic MicFocusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio InterfaceAudacityEdited in:AudacityMastered in:AuphonicReferences:https://www.britishmurders.com/davidharker/ Learn more about your ad choices.
