An Ordinary Day: Episode 410

Always True Crime

About this episode

Ninety one year old Bill Reilly was a retired builder and a popular resident on the Tower Gardens Estate in Tottenham having lived there with his family there since 1977, although he was not originally a Londoner. In fact, Bill was born in Balla in County Mayo as part of a large family. A builder by trade, he had a strong work ethic and despite the manual nature of his job, he continued working right up until the age of 78. SO just who would have wanted to kill Bill? And why?
