Summary
In the ninth episode of British Murders Season 5, I tell the story of Lee Ford.
In August/September 2000, Lee Ford murdered his 36-year-old wife Lesley Ford in Carnkie, Cornwall, along with four of her children from her first marriage.
Lee initially buried all five bodies in a woodshed at the bottom of their garden before re-burying two of the bodies in a field in Treluswell, Cornwall.
On May 24, 2001, Lee was handed five separate life sentences at Bristol Crown Court with a minimum term of 27 years.
He will be eligible to apply for parole in October 2027.
