Marion Rilka - Mrs Rilka was stabbed to death in her Hove home in October 1991. Local man, Gary Gregory, an opportunist drug addict, knocked on her door asking for directions to Harmsworth Road, an non-existent street. It transpired Gregory had knocked on several doors asking the same question. Gregory hailed from Hangleton, Hove, not far from Harmsworth Crescent. He was convicted of murder in late 1992 and was sentenced to life. It is not clear if Gregory has yet received parole.
I take your point, J C - I really do. But the Constabulary and media are SO reluctant to act on information given by Joe/Josephine Public because "[they] know better than we do about how these things work..."
The passenger in that car that passed a visibly scared woman mouthing 'help me' has a lot to answer for... how could you just ignore seeing such a thing without doing something - anything - to help.?! Pathetic.
I find that the episodes either have astounding bravery or baffling ignorance. The amount of people who hear screams in the middle of the night but do nothing about it is worrying but then......does anyone get involved now? People are too worried about looking like an idiot.
@@marklane2583 back in the 90s, (perhaps even now) if a woman was heard screaming out loud especially on a Friday or Saturday night it would be dismissed as a young woman just having one too many on a night out.

@@marklane2583 totally different world, sadly. There was still a real culture of not getting involved in what was assumed to be domestic violence (probably because it was so common and just wasn't talked about - child abuse waw brushed under the carpet a lot too.

Brilliant but why did no one phone the police that might have saved the we girl’s mother if you see someone acting suspicious phone the police even if it is nothing better safe than sorry
100% true story. Years ago, my son had friends around, they were in his bedroom playing computer games, eating and making noise. The very next evening, crimewatch came on and up popped the face of the friend that had been in my home. I won't say his name on here, but I swear I almost collapsed.
Truly shocking how so many of these murders went unsolved. Penny Bell's murderer has never been caught. Thank the lord that modern technology and science (DNA) now makes it so much more difficult for people to get away with these terrible acts.
I think she was having an affair and being blackmailed by someone hence the £15,000 and forceful behaviour of the co driver, he was going to get what he wanted or else.
A very weird case. The main suspect was a neighbour, John Richmond, whose fingerprints were found in the car and who claimed that he was having an affair with Penny. The police arrested him but he was released. He was re-arrested when he sold a story to a newspaper claiming that Penny had been killed by a hired hitman and that he'd been asked by the person behind the murder who he should hire to carry out a murder. He claimed that he didn't know the contract would be on Penny. Penny's daughter later said that she had an idea who did it and the ferocity of the attack indicated it was someone who "wanted Penny but couldn't have her".
Why stab someone fifty times? You can kill them with much less, so this is a frenzy. Someone really angry, on drugs or lost his mind. Unless she was carjacked, she must have let the person in, so she knew him. Who pay £8,000 in cash? Cash is if you don't want the money traced, so it doesn't sound like a business deal. Did her hubby know about this withdrawal, if they shared bank accounts?

That appears to be the only reference to it online-wonder if she trustingly let him in or if he saw she was alone, vulnerable & forced his way in? Guess he was just looking for cash to fund his pathetic addictions & perhaps killed her in a rage when she didn't have any/enough.
I wonder if he pushed his way in as she was on her way out to head to the school. I highly doubt she would have let him in voluntarily. She was clearly worried about his motives for being at her door earlier.

well they were the good days, smoking indoors. clubs, school days, gym, restaurants, uni you name it, you could do it. i prefer that then outside in the bloody cold
Far too many people even today not asking who it is before opening the door, some wise people keep the front door locked and not easy to open and so it discourages them from wanting to open it and use the back door and find it easier to ask who it is before sending them round the back as its not someone familiar with you using the back door. Or have a visible bell push for foe and concealed one for friends, easy with wire free door bell pushes.
used to love how they went all out on insulting words and didn't hold back, the world used to be so free. nowadays people wouldn't be allowed to say fat, ugly, "ratface" etc on TV cause people are so sensitive. Miss how stuff used to be
Nice one as usual, Andy JS, loving all these icon crimewatch series from yesteryear, keep up the good work, such a shame so many of these cases are still unsolved, those people obviously don't have any conscience for what they've done......
Bob Berger, investigating the armed robbery, also featured in one of the "Flying Squad" documentaries posted by TMEYEUK on here. I think it was the one about Operation Crozon, and it featured a bank job in Harrow (if I remember correctly).
Nice to have a crimewatch episode where the two murders were solved (the last few episodes featured a lot of unsolved cases). Also hurrah for neighbours like Chas and the brown haired lady in the first case!
Cheers Andy for this episode of crimewatch uk and what horrible bastards killing a pensioner with a axe for so little money i hope they have been caught tried and convicted such a brutal attack and death
Hi, 1992 isn't a great year, according to my spreadsheet (sad I know) I only have the update for January, February is missing, April I have the show but no update (It is somewhere else on youtube) , June I have the show but no update (although it is already on youtube) and December I only have the update. So in summary: March, May, September, October and November I have show and update, April and June only the show (although both updates are already on youtube), January and December no main show only the update and February (which I think was the Michael Sams episode) I have nothing. Andy do you have the main shows for January, February and December? If so if you could upload them, I'm happy to do March - November and again if you can do December. if we manage it we will have every show from 1984 to the end of 1992.
There has been a lot of comments below about old unsolved crimes, I don't want to sound like a 'know it all' but old crimes are being solved on a daily even moment by moment basis, I know a lot of people who got a way with a lot of "minor" crimes because the lack of footage and dna was in it's infancy, but it could be very brutal back then. The world is odd at this time but at least there's not as many people getting away with vile acts and criminal conduct today!
One of the reasons I've uploaded these episodes is because there's always an outside chance that one of these crimes might still be solved if something on here jogs someone's memory. I know it's unlikely, but you can't rule it out.
Search for the video "Cash Van Raid that went wrong and got worse, Flying Squad Crimewatch appeal but what happened next?" on here. It explains how the South Mimms robbers were caught.
That officer should have been awarded a medal for the lengths he went to solve this & the connected murder-very few would have done so. The postscript is sad as he was almost certainly put back into uniform as per the rules at that point-wasting the talents of a superb officer who thought way outside the box & traveled overseas trying to track down paints which cracked the case. www.nickdavies.net/1994/07/01/the-dying-art-of-detection/
The chilling murders of two men shook the city in 1991 as Smalley brutally battered Fred Maltby to death and just three months later killed bookmaker Joe Rylatt. The killer believed he'd got away with it, but 49-year-old was finally brought to justice when he was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 1994.
The Marion Rilka murder has hallmarks of the Wendy Speakes case, committed by Christopher Farrow. It has been solved though, Gary Gregory, a local drug addict was convicted in 1992.
At the beginning when Sue Cook said it was a minor birthday for Crimewatch UK, being the 75th episode. Coincidentally, Vogue magazine celebrated 75 years in 1991 as well.
One of just a few episodes that has seasoned watchers shouting at the screen - where you KNOW that another crime will come (thanks to Crimewatch File) - the Fred Maltby murder was the first of two and the guys running across the road were a red herring (as File shows). And you hear "He just had his wallet" and know that THAT was the reason he was killed.... And all this work in Crimewatch was in vain as it was the weapon that gave the murderer away. (Also, the episode 'Going Under' is beautifully produced)
The murder outside walker's nightclub in Newcastle was an interesting one. My sister and her then boyfriend were tracked down by the police as they'd been in the nightclub at the time and had been caught on CCTV. My sister had actually stepped over the dead man's body, thinking he was drunk. The murder brought to light a really dark culture of drugs and local crime gangs. Britain was an unpleasantly dark place in the early 90s.
You say this on every video. It is getting boring. The crime rate in other countries was just as bad. Where do you get the info it was worse here than anywhere else?
@@treasurehunteruk9718 he never puts any links on crime rates to back his words which is just his opinion. A lot higher crime was witnessed in other countries.
@@gujh03 Yeah, the crime rate is MUCH higher in other countries, but he keeps sprouting this silly line over and over. If he is so unsafe here, he might as well move to somewhere safer ............
My parents were offered to look at a house in Hogarth Road (where this murder happened) around the *exact* same time!!! And they were put off by that *very* murder. It was *big* news in Hove at the time.
Hot topic between me and my husband... I ahour him excitedly .."1991 and fuel was 50p" husband says "yeah it wasnt very long ago though" 😒 nearly 30 years 🙈
Then Chas could have been done for harassment. At that point, the man had broken no laws. Was just a general nuisance hence why Chas told him to sling his hook.
@@ajs41 Hard to believe we wasted so much time on that tosh looking back-watched that show from probably 1986/1987 when some crazy woman locked Shane in her shed-some point in the mid 2000's when the plane went down pretty religiously.
flat capper at 31 mins looks like he has long hair (Pony Tail) hidden under jacket and hat. Which was all the rage at the time lol. These people would be collecting pensions now.
Does Redcard not have those? I didn't realise if so. His copies seem to be slightly better quality than mine so I was going to let him upload editions if he has them.
Im sure between many of us Crimewatch UK fans we would be able to source copies of every episode! Someone somewhere must have every episode on VHS until 2002 when DVD recorders became available around 2002 onwards someone must have either DVD-R DVD-RW DVD+R DVD+RW copies of 2002-2007 which these will be of broadcast quality.
Try to get your neighbours phone numbers back front and sides you never know when it can come in handy and you give them yours and even the same for sharing some of your relatives phone numbers as well amongst neighbours especially if people live on their own.
I first touched down on the surface at 6 o'clock December 1991 on planet E ! It was a very strange place where people went back and forth trading liquor for pay ! Who got to pay? Group A ! These were people who complained that life was too hard and just let the day go by . As l walked around the city l frequented the second Group, Group B! They were very nice and e everything sugar and spice, with 2 cars parked in drive boasting about their perfect life and just letting the day go by
Marion RIlka and Fred Maltby's lives ending in such a horrifying way was tragic anyway, but a really awful coincidence it happening on the same day. It's obvious that man who knocked on that woman's door demanding a map was up to no good, no one who is genuinely looking for a location such as a street name would knock on a strangers door. The robbers at the building society, @ 17.50 seem clueless and almost comical. Ref: the comments about the perpetrator being described as a 20-stone fat man. You are right it wouldn't be allowed to be said to today, as it would be considered a non-crime hate incident, that's the stupidest saying if ever there was one, as there would be howls of protest from the 'woke' brigade. Show where people's priorities lie today, forget about the poor woman being indecently assaulted, someone has dared to call the person who committed the crime 'fat.' Also, look at the way the police dealt with crime back then, they were professional in their approach, and prioritised catching criminals and solving crimes. Unlike today, where we have a two-tier police system, which, arrests people for speaking the truth on Twitter about biological genders. Yet, isn't interested in solving actual crime.
There's always a good chance that a car passes the same way at roughly the same time daily, weekdays or weekly a lot of traffic will consist of regular commuters.
I just swallowed a couple a E's and put on me ole smiley t-shirt and wallabies and was rocking to the theme tune ...OK, it's not Aceeed, but boy , l miss the 90s
Acid house was not in the 1990s strictly 1988/89 it was all over by the end of 89 - and wearing a smiley t-shirt in the 90s would have had people laughing at the wearer in disbelief
At 17.57, does Hatcher ever not say someone has got as ''Pockmarked Face''??? What effing actually even is that??? Everyone to Hatcher has got a pockmarked face or mousey hair and a Mooostosh!

#penny bell. still unsolved. she was stabbed over 50 times which suggests it was personal. crazy how many of these murders remain unsolved.
21:25 TEENAGE MUTANT HERO TURTLES!!!!!!!!! ;*D
thanks Andy js
At the beginning when Sue Cook said it was a minor birthday for Crimewatch UK, being the 75th episode. Coincidentally, Vogue magazine celebrated 75 years in 1991 as well.
Those descriptions / efits are hilarious , wonder if they ever worked .
One of just a few episodes that has seasoned watchers shouting at the screen - where you KNOW that another crime will come (thanks to Crimewatch File) - the Fred Maltby murder was the first of two and the guys running across the road were a red herring (as File shows). And you hear "He just had his wallet" and know that THAT was the reason he was killed.... And all this work in Crimewatch was in vain as it was the weapon that gave the murderer away. (Also, the episode 'Going Under' is beautifully produced)
36:53, this is a guy you don't want to mess around!
Why dont those with someone in their car just drive into oncoming traffic so they crash.
Because they could potentially kill themselves and/or others?
I was thinking that I would crash into something
Anyone on here watch the crime watch roadshow? I do but it’s not the same.
@@LANCSKID couldn’t agree more!
The murder outside walker's nightclub in Newcastle was an interesting one. My sister and her then boyfriend were tracked down by the police as they'd been in the nightclub at the time and had been caught on CCTV. My sister had actually stepped over the dead man's body, thinking he was drunk. The murder brought to light a really dark culture of drugs and local crime gangs. Britain was an unpleasantly dark place in the early 90s.
Yes, fugs spoke about it on drugz fm radio at the time. Its not what us cheesy quavers were about 😢
You say this on every video. It is getting boring. The crime rate in other countries was just as bad. Where do you get the info it was worse here than anywhere else?
Blah blah blah. You were saying life was grim in the 80s and now it was also the same in 90s. Same thing over and over again. It's called old age.
@@treasurehunteruk9718 he never puts any links on crime rates to back his words which is just his opinion. A lot higher crime was witnessed in other countries.
@@gujh03 Yeah, the crime rate is MUCH higher in other countries, but he keeps sprouting this silly line over and over. If he is so unsafe here, he might as well move to somewhere safer ............
My parents were offered to look at a house in Hogarth Road (where this murder happened) around the *exact* same time!!! And they were put off by that *very* murder. It was *big* news in Hove at the time.
18:53 Wanted for salad dodging (savage fat shaming 🍰🍺🥞🍟🍕)
Hahahahaha I’m fat as fuck and even I found that funny
@@jamiemccabe6322 no offence dude. I'm no skinny guy myself
Price of the fuel
Hot topic between me and my husband... I ahour him excitedly .."1991 and fuel was 50p" husband says "yeah it wasnt very long ago though" 😒 nearly 30 years 🙈
😂 😂 😂 The AMOUNT of suss Ford Cortina's?!?!?! The criminals no. 1 car of choice 1970's-1990's!
But it seemed like Fords were the villains’ motors of choice, in general. :)
Fred was a fan of Bottom it seems!
Aren’t we all! 😍😀
Chas merely redirected the problem elsewhere for a later date, the guy really needed following until the police apprehended him.
Then Chas could have been done for harassment. At that point, the man had broken no laws. Was just a general nuisance hence why Chas told him to sling his hook.
Proper creep ringing the door bell. RIP 🙏
I find it funny how everybody in crimewatch reconstructions seems to be watching neighbours
20 million people used to watch Neighbours in the late 80s and early 90s including my family.
Andy JS it was a big show I just find it a coincidence that when they film the reconstruction it’s on the tv
@@ajs41 Hard to believe we wasted so much time on that tosh looking back-watched that show from probably 1986/1987 when some crazy woman locked Shane in her shed-some point in the mid 2000's when the plane went down pretty religiously.
@@Hi-kq1vi I'm slightly embarrassed that I spent so much time watching Neighbours, although I was only about 8 to 16 years old when I was watching it.
@@ajs41 I was old enough to know better, but they hooked me at 10 or 11 & it took until probably 29 to stop watching it.
flat capper at 31 mins looks like he has long hair (Pony Tail) hidden under jacket and hat. Which was all the rage at the time lol. These people would be collecting pensions now.
Any luck with finding Jan/Feb 92 Andy JS?
Does Redcard not have those? I didn't realise if so. His copies seem to be slightly better quality than mine so I was going to let him upload editions if he has them.
@@ajs41 no he doesn't, check out his comment on the "filling in the blanks" comment earlier :)
@@CatLowe50 Okay, I'll search for those editions.
@@ajs41 fantastic, thank you.
Im sure between many of us Crimewatch UK fans we would be able to source copies of every episode! Someone somewhere must have every episode on VHS until 2002 when DVD recorders became available around 2002 onwards someone must have either DVD-R DVD-RW DVD+R DVD+RW copies of 2002-2007 which these will be of broadcast quality.
Looks like Fred's house has long since been knocked down.
Try to get your neighbours phone numbers back front and sides you never know when it can come in handy and you give them yours and even the same for sharing some of your relatives phone numbers as well amongst neighbours especially if people live on their own.
Help me she mouthed 😭😭
crimewatch it is very good
The amount of stolen miniature trains that make it onto crimewatch over the years is ridiculous.
Great looking back.. petrol 45p Ltr
45p in 1991 the equivalent of £1.30 in 2024 money. Not quite as cheap as it looks.
I first touched down on the surface at 6 o'clock December 1991 on planet E ! It was a very strange place where people went back and forth trading liquor for pay ! Who got to pay? Group A ! These were people who complained that life was too hard and just let the day go by . As l walked around the city l frequented the second Group, Group B! They were very nice and e everything sugar and spice, with 2 cars parked in drive boasting about their perfect life and just letting the day go by
09:02 ?? Stewart Bevan from Doctor Who????
Mission Report December 16th 1991
13:58 looks like Wayne from Auf Wiedersehen Pet
Evil cnt killed the dog. Poor dog.
Those that hurt humans are monsters. Those that hurt animals & children are the Devil's Spawn. Poor little one 😢💔
has anybody else rung the number pmsl
Marion RIlka and Fred Maltby's lives ending in such a horrifying way was tragic anyway, but a really awful coincidence it happening on the same day. It's obvious that man who knocked on that woman's door demanding a map was up to no good, no one who is genuinely looking for a location such as a street name would knock on a strangers door.
The robbers at the building society, @ 17.50 seem clueless and almost comical.
Ref: the comments about the perpetrator being described as a 20-stone fat man. You are right it wouldn't be allowed to be said to today, as it would be considered a non-crime hate incident, that's the stupidest saying if ever there was one, as there would be howls of protest from the 'woke' brigade. Show where people's priorities lie today, forget about the poor woman being indecently assaulted, someone has dared to call the person who committed the crime 'fat.'
Also, look at the way the police dealt with crime back then, they were professional in their approach, and prioritised catching criminals and solving crimes. Unlike today, where we have a two-tier police system, which, arrests people for speaking the truth on Twitter about biological genders. Yet, isn't interested in solving actual crime.
Hate that Sue always has her head on a tilt as she talks to people even the camera 🤷🏼♀️👀😆
There's always a good chance that a car passes the same way at roughly the same time daily, weekdays or weekly a lot of traffic will consist of regular commuters.
I just swallowed a couple a E's and put on me ole smiley t-shirt and wallabies and was rocking to the theme tune ...OK, it's not Aceeed, but boy , l miss the 90s
Acid house was not in the 1990s strictly 1988/89 it was all over by the end of 89 - and wearing a smiley t-shirt in the 90s would have had people laughing at the wearer in disbelief
Wait a second...
9:41 and 13:31
Case closed?
Those lovely stolen Gucci watches, wonder if they recovered those?! Doubt it
That robbery wtf 😂
Bit much asking to shop people for offering cheap designer goods.....
Keep a spare room alarmed 24hrs so if you need help you just walk into it or someone that shouldn't be there will end up setting it off.
At 17.57, does Hatcher ever not say someone has got as ''Pockmarked Face''??? What effing actually even is that???
Everyone to Hatcher has got a pockmarked face or mousey hair and a Mooostosh!
I didn't realise he said that on a regular basis.
@@ajs41 Non stop. Watch him he says it all the time mate!
6:33 LOL WTF
