The Pembrokeshire Murders

ITV’s new true-crime drama, The Pembrokeshire Murders, recounts the solving of one of Wales’ most notorious crimes.

At the time, the perpetrator, John Cooper (Keith Allen), was nearing the end of his sentence, which is where the series picks up, with Wilkins racing against the clock to gather enough evidence to charge their suspect before he’s free to kill again.
