Summary

Helen and Danni visit Bournemouth to learn about the horrific murder of Heather Barnett. After seemingly getting away with murder at the age of 21, Danilo Restivo fled Potenza in Italy to live a quiet life in Bournemouth. Little did the residents of Richmond Park know that he was about to brutally murder and mutilate one of their own. Expect truly terrible excuses, chilling haircuts from hell, and the longest police chase of all time.

Devils in The Dark contains details of sexual assault, graphic violence and murder, and is not intended for all audiences. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
