The Bodybuilder: episode 203

In March 2016, 45 year old bodybuilder Michael O'Hanlon was crowned 'Mr Scotland'. An amazing achievement, and he and his fiancee Elaine were looking ahead to their castle wedding in August. But there was just one problem: Elaine's ex kept sending them abuse.

And one day in July, he challenged Michael to a fight via Facebook. Michael went to meet him telling Elaine, 'I won't be long', as they were shopping for wedding rings that afternoon.

In this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, we look at what happened next.
