I tell the story of Christopher and Ryan Hawkins in this episode. Christopher violently attacked two of his children with a knife in Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire, on September 23, 2007. His 14-year-old daughter Donna survived the frenzied attack, but 4-year-old Ryan died due to his injuries. Christopher was handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 21 years in March 2008. **The following are NOT sponsored messages** If you or someone you know is experiencing child abuse, please reach out to one of the below organisations for help: UK: National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC): https://www.nspcc.org.uk/ UK: National Association for People Abused in Childhood (NAPAC): https://napac.org.uk If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, please reach out to one of the below organisations for help: UK: Refuge Against Domestic Violence: https://www.refuge.org.uk/ UK: Men's Advice Line UK: https://mensadviceline.org.uk/ USA: National Domestic Violence Hotline: https://www.thehotline.org/ AUS: White Ribbon Australia: https://www.whiteribbon.org.au/ AUS: Lifeline Australia: https://www.lifeline.org.au/ CAN: Ending Violence Association of Canada: https://endingviolencecanada.org/ IRE: Safe Ireland: https://www.safeireland.ie/ IRE: Men's Aid Ireland: https://www.mensaid.ie/ IRE: Women's Aid Ireland: https://www.womensaid.ie/ Promo: Cuff & Gavel https://soundcloud.com/cuffandgavel https://twitter.com/CuffAndGavel ⁣⁣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⁣ References:⁣ www.britishmurders.com/christopherhawkins/ Learn more about your ad choices.
