Description
The Pembrokeshire Murders is a true crime account of a serial killer's capture after evading justice for over twenty years. In 1980s Pembrokeshire, a series of brutal crimes took place, including double murders, an assault, and the rape and assault of two teenagers, all potentially linked to one perpetrator. A team of detectives worked tirelessly to build a case against their prime suspect, combining cutting-edge forensic techniques with old-fashioned detective work. The investigation was a race against time, with the killer potentially striking again. However, a surprising twist emerged when the killer appeared on the gameshow Bullseye, providing crucial evidence that ultimately led to their capture. The operation is now recognised as one of the greatest cold case reviews ever undertaken in the UK, and the killer is serving a "life means life" sentence. This gripping true story sheds light on the complexities of forensic science and the dedication of those who work to bring justice to victims and their families.
