Description

Policemen across the globe rightly have the reputation for being trustworthy – but the despicable crimes of Russian serial-killing rapist cop Mikhail Popkov have certainly done the service no favours. Imprisoned for life in 2015 for the murders of 22 women, many of whom were killed while he was on duty, Popkov later confessed to a further 59 killings. Turn to European Crime Report, for the full story.

For years the BBC’s Crimewatch did great work in helping police to solve cases, but despite being highlighted in 1984, the murder of 16-year-old Collette Aram remained unsolved for more than two decades. How did the net finally close in on the teen’s killer?

Finally, don’t miss our account of Salt Lake City child-killer Arthur Gary Bishop’s case, recently requested by a reader. Enjoy the read!
