Ep. 69 - Cyprus: Serial Killer Nikos Metaxas and The Murder of Louise Jensen

Nothing Rhymes With Murder

Γεία σας!
This week we are off to Cyprus!
Kate kicks us off with the case of serial killer Nikos Metaxas as well as the horrific treatment of domestic migrant workers that allowed him to operate so easily.
Georgie then tells us about the devastatingly sad murder of Louise Jensen and the gut-wrenching trial.
Join us this week for much sadness, much wine and much pre-2020 optimism.
Eυχαριστώ!
