In 1987 in the town of Royal Tunbridge Wells, a 鈥減eeping Tom鈥� is spotted lurking by the windows of women. Soon after, Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce are both found brutally murdered and sexually assaulted after their deaths.

Thirty year later, a special task force dedicated to cold cases finally track down the man who became known as the 鈥淏edsit Killer鈥�. The case takes a nasty turn when the police make a horrifying discovery at the killer鈥檚 home.

On this episode of Bad People, Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen unearth the secret life of the UK鈥檚 most prolific necrophile and discuss what legal protection and rights a dead body has. Also - is calling someone a monster ever justified in the court room?

Warning: This episode contains descriptions of violence, necrophilia and child abuse.
