9. A Web of Lies
It's taken so long to get this case to the stage it's now at. Can there finally be justice for six-year-old Rikki and what will happen to the person police believe killed him?
For more than 20 years the case of the murder of six-year-old Rikki Neave went unsolved. In this new ten part investigation, award-winning journalist Winifred Robinson, has unearthed the truth through unprecedented access to police interview rooms, and follows the investigation as the police move in on the perpetrator.
It's a haunting and heart-breaking case filled with injustice, a story of vulnerable children, know to the authorities who should have been protected, a tale of lives wasted and cut short. You'll hear original police tapes never broadcast before, fresh testimony from suspects and witnesses, new and compelling evidence from forensic scientists. The series takes you inside the jury room and abroad as the manhunt closes in.
In Episode Nine of The Boy in the Woods the 成人快手 Journalist, Winifred Robinson, is at the Old Bailey in London as the jury is sworn in. Their task: to decide the guilt or innocence of James Watson. In a trial full of twists and turns, Winifred hears from some of the jurors about what helped them reach their verdict and as police wait anxiously in court she reflects on her own feelings about the case.
