🎧 THE DEVIL WITHIN: The Matthew Tinling Case — Part One Chapters 1–3: The Film in His Head · The Game Begins · Lessons in Fire and Blood 💀 Description: In the spring of 2012, two men shared a small flat in a Maida Vale housing complex meant for people starting over. One of them — Richard Hamilton — was trying to rebuild after years of addiction. The other — Matthew Tinling — was watching Saw VI on repeat. When an argument over £240 in rent spiraled into obsession, Tinling turned the movie’s grotesque morality into real life. He stabbed Hamilton 17 times, tried to sever his spinal cord to recreate a trap from the film, and set the body on fire to “cleanse the scene.” Then he calmly withdrew money with Hamilton’s bank card… and bought crack. In this first episode, follow investigators as they untangle a killing staged like a screenplay — and meet the man who believed he was Jigsaw’s student. 🩸 Chapter 1 — The Film in His Head 🩸 Chapter 2 — The Game Begins 🩸 Chapter 3 — Lessons in Fire and Blood 🎙️ Written & Hosted by: Branden Morgan 🎚️ Produced by: Evio Creative / Bellaire Studios 🎵 Sound Design & Score: The Evio Collective 💬 Call to Action: If this story left you uneasy — good.
