In 1977, David Holden, chief correspondent of the Sunday Times, was sent to Cairo to report on crucial peace talks between Egypt and Israel. A day later his body was found with a single gunshot wound in the back. The paper's editor sent a team of reporters to the region to investigate - but who killed Holden and why were questions that were never answered. The mystery remained unsolved for decades - until now.
In part 1 Peter Gillman, investigative reporter, describes the search for answers.
