Episode 2
Reporter Bronagh Munro interrogates the evidence linking an Italian man to the murder of South Korean student Jong Ok Shin in Bournemouth in 2002.
Journalist Bronagh Munro investigates the conviction of a heroin addict for the murder of a student. In the early hours of 12 July 2002, Jong Ok Shin, a 26-year-old Korean student, was stabbed to death as she walked home after a night out in Bournemouth. Omar Benguit, a heroin addict, was convicted of the murder and sentenced to life in prison.
However, Benguit and his family have always maintained he is innocent. Unusually, it took three trials to secure his conviction. No forensic evidence linked Benguit to the crime, and the majority of the prosecution witnesses were serious drug addicts with criminal records.
Bronagh Munro examines whether Benguit may be innocent and investigates his family's claims that he was framed. Munro tracks down the witnesses who gave evidence against Benguit and looks into whether a serial killer may have carried out the murder.
