John Sweeney, a man whose seemingly ordinary life concealed a series of horrific crimes. Known as "The Canal Killer," Sweeney left a trail of devastation across Europe, targeting those closest to him in acts of violence that shocked even seasoned investigators. The story begins with Melissa Halstead, a talented photographer whose promising life was tragically cut short. Her remains were found in an Amsterdam canal, sparking an investigation that would span decades. Years later, another gruesome discovery was made in London's Regent’s Canal, linking Sweeney to a second murder. As authorities dug deeper, they uncovered evidence of more victims, along with disturbing artwork created by Sweeney that hinted at his dark inner world. What made this case so disturbing was not only the brutality of the crimes but also how Sweeney managed to evade justice for so long, moving between countries and blending into the shadows. This video explores how law enforcement eventually connected the dots and brought one of Britain’s most dangerous men to justice.
