Cheish said: "We had a great time in Sunderland last month bringing together true crime fans from around the North East and can't wait to be back again.

"So many people are drawn to the dark side of human nature and these talks aim to educate, fascinate and contribute to the ongoing conversation surrounding true crime with an injection of dark humour along the way."
