FROM THE VAULT - The Murder of Rachel Nickell #285

Paglalarawan

Netflix's new drama The Witness has brought the story of Rachel Nickell and her family back into public attention. For the true story behind the murder that rocked the UK, we've resurfaced our episode from February 2023.--Rachel Nickell’s brutalised body was found on Wimbledon Common with her two-year-old son Alex wiping her bloodied face and begging her to 'wake up'. The nature of the broad daylight attack and the horrific injuries put enormous pressure on the Met to get the case solved and fast. However, none of that justifies the shoddy police work, cut corners, and tunnel vision that allowed serial rapist Robert Napper to go unchecked for years.--Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesYouTube - Full-length Video EpisodesTikTok / Instagram
