S06E10 | Ian O'Callaghan | The Murder of Shirley Leach

By Stuart Blues

In the tenth and final episode of British Murders Season 6, I tell the story of Ian O'Callaghan. On January 6, 1994, Ian O'Callaghan attacked, sexually assaulted, murdered and mutilated 66-year-old widow and grandma Shirley Leach at Bury Interchange. In September 2001, Ian exposed himself to an 11-year-old girl before raping her a few days later. He remained a free man until February 2006, when he was arrested for drink-driving. His DNA was taken and matched a blood sample from the crime scene in 1994. He was handed a life sentence in 2006 with a minimum term of 28 years for the murder of Shirley Leach, with a 16-year concurrent sentence handed to him in 2016 for the rape of the 11-year-old after she came forward and informed the police of what had happened. ⁣⁣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/davidjohnbradymusic⁣ My recording equipment:⁣ Shure SM7B Vocal Microphone Cloud Microphone Cloudlifter CL1 Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio Interface Rode PSA-1 Professional Studio Boom Arm Recorded in:⁣ Hindenberg PRO Edited in:⁣ DaVinci Resolve 18 References:⁣ www.britishmurders.com/ianocallaghan/ Learn more about your ad choices.
