On a summer evening in 2002, ten-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica
Chapman took a break from playing video games and left the house to
go to buy some sweets, but they never came home. For weeks after
they were declared missing, an image of these smiling young girls
dressed in their matching Manchester United kit, taken just a
couple of hours before they went missing, was plastered across the
British press as a nationwide search began to take place. Hoards of
volunteers stepped forward, the Cambridgeshire police began an
exhaustive investigation and candlelight vigils were held as the
local community and the rest of the country hoped for their safe
return. When the bodies were discovered in a ditch, the final ray
of hope for their safe return was extinguished as it became clear
that both girls had been murdered. The nation was shocked and
sickened at the news and so began a national outpouring of grief
for these two innocent girls who had tragically lost their lives in
such a terrible way. And, in a terrible twist, Ian Huntley, a man
who having given such vocal support for the search had become
spokesperson for the community, was found guilty. Twenty years on,
Huntley is still one of the most reviled men in the country. Beyond
Evil is an in-depth study of this shocking case as it unfolded,
written by investigative journalist Nathan Yates, who witnessed the
murder hunt first-hand and even interviewed Huntley and former
girlfriend Maxine Carr in what is still remembered as one of the
most terrible cases of abduction and murder.
