Historic Crime / The Trials Of Harold Jo...

They Walk Among Us
About this episode

PLEASE LISTEN TO ‘SEASON 9 - EPISODE 22’ FOR PART ONE OF THIS TWO-PART CASE. The town of Abertillery in South Wales had been rocked by the brutal murder of an eight-year-old girl. A 15-year-old shop assistant had been arrested and accused of killing Freda Burnell, but a jury found him not guilty. While many in the town felt that justice had prevailed when Harold Jones was acquitted, the declaration of his innocence meant that a child killer was still at large… (Part 2 of 2).
