An Unlikely Contract Killer; Episode 406

Always True Crime

About this episode

Local man 38 year old Graeme Woodhatch was at the Royal Free hospital in London for a routine operation when he collapsed and died whilst on the phone outside the ward. But when medics looked more closely at Graeme's injuries, it turned out that he had been shot four times, seemingly by a professional contract killer. But who would have wanted to kill Graeme and why? In the episode this week we follow the twists of the investigation as a most unlikely killer is revealed.
