The Callous Killing of Sylvia Fleming

Published: Feb. 21, 2024, 1 a.m.

This week, in a listener-researched and written episode, we head to Omagh in Northern Ireland, as we take a look at the brutal 1998 murder of 17-year-old Sylvia Fleming.\nOn the cusp of adulthood, and with a difficult childhood now behind her, Sylvia thought she had struck gold when she met 26-year-old Stephen Scott. He was charming, handsome and popular. But he had a wicked side and enjoyed putting Sylvia down in front of her friends and family. And behind closed doors, things were much, much worse. He carried out his sadistic sexual fantasies on Sylvia and on the night of 3 April 1998, armed with a syringe full of insulin, he went too far and Sylvia paid with her life. A truly harrowing case...\nOur thanks to Rhiannon Smith for researching and writing this episode and our thoughts remain with the loved one of Sylvia Fleming.\n\nIf you would like to\xa0support us on Patreon, you can find us here:\nwww.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast\n\nIf you would like to\xa0buy us a coffee, hit the link below:\nhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtw\n\nGet your\xa0merch\xa0here:\xa0www.seeingredpodcast.co.uk\n\nTheme music\xa0arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears - check out her work at\xa0www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag\nLearn more about your ad choices.
