Over six episodes, The Crossbow Killer looks at what led to a 74 year old man to be shot with a crossbow through the chest as he fixed his satellite dish one spring night on Anglesey.

By examining the brutal murder of retired lecturer Gerald Corrigan, an incident that was described by one newspaper as a "medieval style execution", the series asks why this mild-mannered pensioner - with seemingly no enemies nor links to criminal activity - was killed in this way. The podcast also investigates whether a complicated culture of double-crossing, extortion, horse-napping, and financial greed led to his fate.
