Reviews
- Sad
Just so shocking and sad. Human behaviour at its worst. Well researched and presented with bravery shown by the victims and researchers who participated. Not for entertainment but a lot to be learned. Faith in humanity now needs restored. 5 stars to the team. Terribly sad that it takes a podcast to expose such grim realities.

United Kingdoma year ago - Compelling
A compelling podcast that meticulously researches the tragic story, bringing fresh eyes into what most likely happened to him. His dignified father and loving family have lived with this terrible loss for far too long.

Australiaa year ago - Important story but so slow
There is a good four episode podcast here. Sadly there are nine episodes. Repetition and an insistence on extended sections that need only a minute ruin this. Shame as it is an important story to tell
Apple Podcasts2BrightlingseaboyUnited Kingdoma year ago - Excellent!
Well done BBC on an outstanding podcast investigative series into the murder of this little boy. So many strands followed up and brought together. Yes it is “true crime” but thanks to the journalistic skills and contributions from Vishal’s family, it never feels exploitative.

I couldn’t listen beyond about 5 minutes. The music is just so overpowering and inappropriate
