The Steeltown Murders on SBS and SBS on Demand S1E1 – Starring Phil Glenister (Life On Mars) and Steffan Rhodri (House Of The Dragon). Based on real life events.
Set in both 1973 and the early 2000s, The Steeltown Murders centres on the hunt to catch the killer of three young women in the Port Talbot area and the remarkable story of how – in the first case of its kind – the mystery was solved almost thirty years later using pioneering DNA evidence. Contrasting the policing methods of two different time periods, the series is a portrait of a town dealing with the repercussions of an unsolved case three decades on and asks if justice can ever truly be found.
Episode One:
It’s 2002 in Port Talbot, and on hearing that the CID are looking to reopen two sexually motivated murder cases from 1973, DCI Paul Bethell jumps at the opportunity to lead the investigation.
