S01 E03 - The Police Killer - Railway Murders

On a September night in 1895, two railway policemen surprised a gang of thieves at work in a Wigan goods yard. A vicious fight broke out and Detective Sergeant Robert Kidd was stabbed to death. It was the first time a railway police officer had been murdered in the line of duty. But bringing the killers to justice would not be easy. The gang was fiercely loyal and there were no other witnesses to the crime. If there was to be a conviction, one of them would have to talk.
