Murdertown

Huddersfield (1x8)

:

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.
