Newsquest is excited to announce the launch of True Crime UK, an exclusive section on our websites available only to our valued subscribers.
The section will allow you to explore Britain's most shocking cases as we delve into the depths of true crime.
With a captivating range of content, including short documentaries, podcasts, and crime scene photos accompanied by interactive maps, readers will be immersed in a meticulously curated world of stories.
Leading us on this venture is Newsquest's esteemed Group Investigations Editor, Mark Williams-Thomas.
Known for his groundbreaking revelation of Jimmy Savile's dark secrets as a paedophile on ITV's The Other Side of Jimmy Savile, Williams-Thomas will guide us through the depths of these cases.
Our content goes beyond the surface, incorporating perspectives from the journalists and editors who covered these stories firsthand.
To kick off this journey, we present six captivating short documentaries, including "The Unsolved Murder of Claudia Lawrence," "Who Killed Jill Dando," and "Peter Tobin – Who Else Did The Serial Killer Murder?"
Watch them now by visiting our True Crime UK section.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
