Genre: Documentary   Crime

Episode title: The Welsh Child Killer

Fifteen year old killer Harold Jones brutally murdered two young girls in 1921 giving the reasons for the murders as a 'desire to kill'. After narrowly escaping prosecution on his first attack, Jones was eventually caught red handed when the mutilated body of his second victim was discovered in his attic. Not yet 16 Jones escaped hanging merely by the virtue of his age. We’ll examine new evidence that shows Jones may have later gone on to become ‘Jack the Stripper’, an unidentified serial killer in the 1960’s.
