John Williams - The Horrific Ratcliffe Murders: Serial Killer Saturdays
This 1811 horrific series of slayings was compared to the ripper killings some 77 years later by the press - it was that brutal. Two families are annihiliated - the motive is believed to be money. Then, a tenuous series of clues leads them to a suspected killer. But - the unimaginable happens.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
