In this gripping episode of 'The Deep Dive,' we explore the dual life of Archibald Hall, infamously known as Roy Fontaine, who seamlessly transitioned from a refined butler to a calculated murderer. Born in Glasgow, Hall's life spiralled from petty thefts to manipulating the upper class and committing a series of chilling murders. The narrative details his cunning ability to dissociate and deceive, leading to his eventual capture after a police investigation and dramatic escape attempt. Hall's trial captured immense media attention, resulting in life sentences for him and his accomplice, Kiddo, yet leaving one murder unresolved. This episode not only uncovers Hall's monstrous actions but also examines the psychological intricacies behind his facade, depicting a real-life Jekyll and Hyde.
Tom and Simon will discuss this and the rest of this weeks episode's in this Sunday's episode.
