Summary
In March 2010, the small Yorkshire village of Melsonby awoke to the kind of horror rarely seen outside the pages of crime fiction.
40-year-old Diana Garbutt was found bludgeoned to death in her bed, and within minutes, a robbery was reported at the village Post Office just downstairs. The timeline made little sense, and the evidence raised more questions than answers.
What followed was a trial full of contradictions, a marriage laid bare and a community left divided. But over a decade later, some believe the real story has yet to be told - and that the justice system may have gotten it very, very wrong.
