It's your chance to examine the facts behind Britain's worst ever high profile miscarriage of justice where a man spent nearly 28-years in jail for a murder he did not commit.

 

This is the award-winning BBC documentary produced by BBC Pebble Mill at Birmingham about the Stephen Downing investigation - Murder in the Graveyard - which examined the evidence that helped to eventually quash the conviction of a man jailed for nearly 28 years for a murder he did not commit - that of Wendy Sewell in Bakewell cemetery in September 1973. This exclusive film revealed and helped support the evidence discovered by former investigative journalist Don Hale during his unique 8-year investigation. 

 

*This murder has since been linked to the additional similar murders of Jackie-Ansell Lamb and Barbara Mayo, with all three now believed to be the horrific work of Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe. 


It’s a remarkable theory supported by many experts including retired policeman and cold-case detective Chris Clark, who has since presented evidence to the authorities and asked for a host of new facts to be re-examined. 

 

The story was later also used as the basis of a BBC TV drama, In Denial of Murder, starring Stephen Tompkinson and Caroline Catz. It was based on Don Hale's campaign and later best-selling book – MURDER IN THE GRAVEYARD



Don Hale’s story was also featured by ITV’s Judge Robert Rinder on his recent true crime series. *Read Don Hale's revised and thrilling and updated true-crime book – MURDER IN THE GRAVEYARD, published in 2019 by Harper Collins. https://amzn.to/43ORl7U
