The Demon, The Dumbass, and the Mega Millions: The Murders of Bibaa Henry & Nicole Smallman

Lock your doors and prepare to have your blood pressure absolutely skyrocket. This week on Hot Mess Murder Club, we’re heading to lockdown-era London to discuss a case that is equal parts heartbreaking, infuriating, and profoundly stupid.In June 2020, sisters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman were just trying to find a little bit of joy during a pandemic, celebrating Bibaa's 46th birthday in Fryent Country Park with fairy lights, music, and dancing. Enter Danyal Hussein: a 19-year-old creeping in the bushes with a serrated Asda knife and a literal demon complex.We are walking you through the entire chronological timeline of this absolute trash fire. We’ll break down the fierce fight the sisters put up, the trail of DNA left behind by a painfully clumsy killer, and Hussein’s completely unhinged motive. (Spoiler: it involves a handwritten blood pact with a mythical demon named "King Lucifuge Rofocale" in exchange for the winning Mega Millions jackpot. Yes, really. He murdered two women to win the lottery).And because no HMMC story is complete without catastrophic institutional incompetence, we are dragging the Metropolitan Police through the mud. We detail their pathetic refusal to take the missing persons report seriously, the horrific reality that the family had to find the bodies themselves, and the two absolute ghouls in uniform who took selfies at the crime scene.Join us as we relentlessly roast a colossal idiot whose supernatural sugar daddy failed to post his bail, and honor the fierce, system-shaking advocacy of the victims' mother, Mina Smallman.Show Notes:00:00 - Intro & the lockdown birthday party in Fryent Country Park.15:20 - The attack and the painfully sloppy crime scene.28:45 - A masterclass in do-nothing policing: The Met abandons the family.41:10 - The "A Team" WhatsApp group and the unforgivable crime scene selfies.52:30 - The raid: Finding the blood pact, King Lucifuge Rofocale, and the lottery tickets.1:05:15 - Trial, sentencing, and Mina Smallman taking down a corrupt system.#podcast #truecrime #demoncontract #storytime #fyp #justice #investigation #murder #crime
