Summary

PLEASE LISTEN TO A CONFESSION (Part 1 of 2) FOR PART ONE OF THIS TWO-PART CASE.

On March 24, 2011, Christopher Halliwell was arrested in connection with the suspected kidnapping of Sian O’Callaghan. Halliwell subsequently admitted to the murder, leading police to not only Sian’s body but the remains of another victim.

After DNA testing police identified the woman to be Swindon native, Rebecca Godden-Edwards. During October 2012, Halliwell was sentenced to a minimum of 25 years for Sian’s murder, but a judge ruled that evidence gathered during the day of Halliwell's arrest was inadmissible. He couldn’t be charged for the killing of Rebecca Godden-Edwards — despite him leading police to her remains. But Why? (Part 2 of 2).

This episode is brought to you in association of with ITV’s new true-crime drama ‘A CONFESSION’ from Oscar nominated and BAFTA winning writer Jeff Pope. Watch 6 part drama, A CONFESSION, starting Monday, September 2nd at 9 pm on ITV.
