The Crossbow Killer - This new true crime series by BBC Radio Wales explores the brutal murder of a 74 year-old man, who was killed with a crossbow in the middle of the night whilst he was fixing the satellite dish on his roof.
The murder of retired lecturer Gerald Corrigan took place in one of the remotest parts of the UK, in Anglesey in Wales. It’s a harrowing and strange case with questions that continue to reverberate around the local community. The presenter and producer Meic Parry sensitively covers the subject, featuring interviews with those who knew him, including his daughter. The series is accompanied with poems by Rhys Lorwerth and music from Mark Roberts, who used to be in the band Catatonia.
