S07E05 | Peter Chapman | The Murder of Ashleigh Hall

In the fifth episode of season 7, I tell the story of Peter Chapman.

On October 25, 2009, 32-year-old Peter Chapman kidnapped, raped and murdered 17-year-old Ashleigh Hall and dumped her body in a farmer's field near Sedgefield, County Durham.

He met Ashleigh on Facebook after posing as a 19-year-old named Peter Cartwright.

The day after the murder, Cleveland Police arrested Chapman in connection with a hit-and-run offence dating back to October 2008.

Once inside a police cell, Chapman confessed that he had killed somebody the previous evening and led the police to Ashleigh's body.

He was handed a life sentence on March 8, 2010, with a minimum term of 35 years.
