Demonic promises and police betrayals: The tragic story of Bibaa Henry & Nicole Smallman

This week, we unravel the devastating case of Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman, two sisters whose lives were tragically stolen during what should have been a beautiful celebration. From their bond as sisters to the horrific failures that compounded their family’s grief, we explore it all—including a killer’s unhinged “demonic pact” and the unforgivable actions of certain officers who were supposed to protect and serve.

But don’t worry, we start off light—venting about life’s infuriating little moments (looking at you, fire doors and car washes), and Hannah’s very pointed disapproval of Rachel’s excessive keyring collection. After the case, we shift gears with some good vibes, podcast updates, and the usual dose of chaotic chatter.

Grab a drink (trust us, you’ll need it for this one) and join us as we tackle one of the hardest stories we've told, with a sprinkle of South London humour to keep us sane.
