Radio 5 Gangster: The Burger Bar Boys

It's one of the UK’s most shocking gang killings - the murder of two schoolgirls Letisha Shakespeare and Charlene Ellis at a New Year's Eve party in January 2003.

This new series of Gangster by Radio 5 tells the story of Birmingham’s notorious Burger Bar Boys - a gang born out of the Handsworth riots in 1985. I worked on this in the summer with Amardeep Bassey, who's spent 2 decades as a crime reporter in Birmingham following the Burger Boys from the start. Listen now on BBC Sounds.
