S09E09 | Jason Nelson | The Murder of Jordan Maguire

In this episode, I tell the story of Jason Nelson and Jordan Maguire.

On May 26, 2013, 32-year-old Grenada national Jason murdered 20-year-old Jordan by stabbing him three times with a knife.

Jason fled the UK and headed for Grenada before settling briefly in Trinidad. He was eventually arrested five months later after CCTV images of him from the day of the murder were released.

Once extradited back to the UK, Jason was tried at Luton Crown Court and found guilty of Jordan's murder.

Judge Michael Kay handed him a life sentence with a minimum term of 27 years on October 22, 2015.
