S04E02 - Anthony Antoniou (The Murder of Walter McCarthy)

In the second episode of British Murders Season 4, I tell the bizarre story of Anthony Antoniou and Walter McCarthy.⁣ In the early 1990s, Antoniou began a relationship with up-and-coming UK singer-songwriter Gabrielle.⁣ They were together for three years, but Antoniou decided to leave the R&B star on the same day their son was born - April 16, 1995.⁣ In December 1995, Antoniou and his friend Timothy Redhead drove his stepfather Walter McCarthy to the Derbyshire Peak District.⁣ Whilst pulling into a layby, Antoniou stabbed Walter 52 times with a commando knife before decapitating him with a Japanese ceremonial sword.⁣ Antoniou was handed a life sentence in March 1997 but only served 14 years behind bars.⁣ 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: https://amzn.to/3F1Jkkj Cloud Microphone Cloudlifter CL1: https://amzn.to/2XZicC8 Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio Interface: https://amzn.to/3kKCLL2 Rode PSA-1 Professional Studio Boom Arm: https://amzn.to/3zHJOs8 Purchase 'The Serial Killer's Book of Haiku' by Rose Bundy here: https://amzn.to/3lYRMbu Recorded and Edited in: Audacity Mastered in: Auphonic References: https://www.britishmurders.com/anthonyantoniou/ Learn more about your ad choices.
