Summary
In the summer of 2011, the market town of Hexham in Northumberland was left reeling after the sudden and violent death of one of its best-loved residents.
77-year-old Judith Richardson was a familiar face in the community known for her gentle nature, her loyalty to friends and family, and her daily walks with her little Westie, Hamish. Her life of kindness and quiet service made what happened to her all the more shocking.
As police worked to piece together how such a brutal crime could unfold in a quiet street, they uncovered a trail of evidence that pointed to a man with a violent past and a history of preying on the vulnerable. The question was whether they could prove it.
