In the summer of 1968, a quiet town in northern England was rocked by a disturbing discovery—two young boys were found dead, and the person responsible was just 11 years old. This episode unpacks the chilling case of Mary Bell, one of the most infamous child killers in British history.

We explore the psychological trauma in Mary’s early life, the media frenzy surrounding her arrest and trial, and the deeper societal questions her case raised: Can a child truly understand murder? And what happens when innocence is lost far too soon?
