Episode 5: Murder at Mother Mac's

from Manchester Murders: A True Crime Podcast

In the early hours of a June morning in 1976, a quiet pub on the edge of Manchester’s Northern Quarter became the scene of one of the city’s most disturbing crimes. Mother Mac’s - then a modest backstreet local near Piccadilly - was run by Arthur Bradbury, a man known to regulars as reserved, private, and deeply devoted to his family. Behind closed doors, however, something was unravelling. When police were called to the pub, they discovered a scene that would shock even seasoned officers: a family annihilated, a building turned into a crime scene, and a man who had taken his own life after killing those closest to him.
