SYNOPSIS
In this new two-part documentary series presented by Sir Trevor McDonald and series directed by Marcus Plowright, a team of investigators explores claims the Wests were responsible for many more murders than the 12 women and girls they are known to have killed.
Fred West committed suicide before he was brought to trial, but his wife Rose was convicted of 10 murders in 1995. There has however always been a strong belief that there are many more victims.
This new series, shown on consecutive nights, features former detective chief inspector Colin Sutton, investigative psychologist Donna Youngs, author and West expert Howard Sounes, and reporter Sir Trevor McDonald following up new leads to try to shed new light on the true number of the Wests' victims and their identities.
A Blink Films Production 2 x 60 minutes for ITV. Series Directed by Marcus Plowright
“The programme offered a compelling argument that up to 20 victims of the Wests, who officially killed 12 young women, are yet to be discovered.”
— Roland White, The Daily Mail
GALLERY
”Filmed like an episode of Silent Witness, all shadowy and overlain with creepy music, Fred and Rose: Reopened offers a sense of fear that even the familiar and homely voice of Sir Trevor can’t dispel.”
— Sean O’Grady, The Independent Daily Edition
