The Windsor Slasher: A City Gripped by Fear

In the summer of 1945, Windsor’s post-war optimism was shattered by a series of brutal murders and stabbings. It quickly became clear that a killer was stalking the city, causing widespread panic and fear. As the attacks continued, investigators uncovered a chilling pattern: the killer was targeting homosexual men. On this episode of the 519 Podcast, we look into the story of the Windsor Slasher and explore this dark chapter of extreme violence and homophobia in the city’s history. This episode was written and produced by Patrick Magermans and is hosted by Scott Kitching.
