Murdertown

Huddersfield (1x8)

Air date: Oct 22, 2018

When sex offender Robert Hind disappeared from his bail hostel in the town of Huddersfield, police and the community feared he was up to no good. But in fact – the truth was far more shocking than anyone realised. This film examines how the hunt for Hind quickly turned into a murder investigation and brought a suspect already known to the police back into their sights. And it reveals how even when a killer is locked up, there’s no guarantee that their criminal days are over. The episode also tells the heartbreaking story of polish student Tobiasz Minski – a man who disappeared shortly after arriving in Huddersfield to study – and found himself in the company of a man who had murder on his mind. With contributions from the lead detective, a former cell mate, and friends of the victim, this film explores three murders and two killers spread across Huddersfield.
