A Valentine's Day Murder:  Episode 08

A Valentine's Day Murder: Episode 08

Today we head to Wales and examine a frenzied murder which took place on Valentines Day 1988. Lynette White was only 20 when she was stabbed to death in a flat above a bookmakers in the Cardiff Bay area of the City. In this episode of the weekly UK True Crime Podcast we examine events leading up to the murder and how three men, 'The Cardiff Three' were wrongly imprisoned for the crime.

We probe how advances in DNA technology allowed police to finally catch Lynette's killer fifteen years later and the devastating effect this had on Lynette's family and others involved in the original investigation.

Finally, we look at how detectives involved in the original investigation into Lynette's death found themselves on trial for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice before the trial sensationally collapsed.
