S1E122: Steven Grieveson: The Sunderland Strangler Who Killed to Hide a Secret

In this chilling 26-minute episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale explores the tragic and twisted story of Steven Grieveson, known as The Sunderland Strangler. Between 1990 and 1994, Grieveson murdered four teenage boys — Thomas Kelly, David Hanson, David Grieff, and Simon Martin — strangling them and attempting to burn their bodies to hide his crimes. His motive? Grieveson claimed he killed to prevent the discovery of his own sexuality. What began as a deeply personal conflict evolved into a brutal string of murders, shocking the UK and exposing the devastating cost of fear, repression, and untreated mental illness. This episode dissects the psychology, the investigation, and the legacy of one of Britain’s most disturbing cases — a predator who turned shame into slaughter.
