S04E05 - Ben Blakeley (The Murder of Jayden Parkinson)

In the fifth episode of British Murders Season 4, I tell the story of Ben Blakeley and Jayden Parkison.⁣⁣A serial domestic abuser, Ben regularly beat up and strangled every girlfriend he had in his life.⁣Sadly, 17-year-old Jayden Parkinson’s experience with Ben was no different⁣.⁣Despite leaving her abuser in November 2013, Jayden discovered she was pregnant with Ben’s child.⁣As they discussed the pregnancy the following month, Ben strangled and killed Jayden before burying her body in his uncle’s grave.⁣He was handed a life sentence in July 2014 with a minimum term to serve of 20 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 SM7B Vocal Microphone: https://amzn.to/3F1JkkjCloud Microphone Cloudlifter CL1: https://amzn.to/2XZicC8Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio Interface: https://amzn.to/3kKCLL2Rode PSA-1 Professional Studio Boom Arm: https://amzn.to/3zHJOs8Purchase 'The Serial Killer's Book of Haiku' by Rose Bundy here:https://amzn.to/3lYRMbuRecorded in:ZencastrEdited in:AudacityDaVinci Resolve 17Mastered in:AuphonicReferences:https://www.britishmurders.com/benblakeley/ Learn more about your ad choices.
