Uitzenddatum: Apr 14, 2020

Jackie is back on the beat in Newport, digging out the case file on a grisly murder that sent shockwaves through the town in 1992. Sian Collier (24) was the manager of a Ladbrokes betting shop who, on the 25th August 1992, was brutally murdered as she counted the day’s takings. The killer was Anthony Clapham (31), a debt-ridden gambling addict. Clapham waited until the other punters had left, then broke into Collier’s office, repeatedly stabbed her in the back and strangled her with a telephone cord, before making off with £400. He quickly fled to Dorset with his family, but was soon apprehended by police. Contributorsfor this episode are Ian Johnstone, Senior Inspecting Officer; Kevin Price, Deputy SIO on the case; Alun Chown, CSI; and Chris Parry, the crime scene manager.
