For more than 20 years the case of the murder of six-year-old
Rikki Neave went unsolved. In this new ten part investigation,
award-winning journalist Winifred Robinson, has unearthed the
truth through unprecedented access to police interview rooms, and
follows the investigation as the police move in on the
perpetrator.

It's a haunting and heart-breaking case filled with injustice, a
story of vulnerable children, know to the authorities who should
have been protected, a tale of lives wasted and cut short. You'll
hear original police tapes never broadcast before, fresh
testimony from suspects and witnesses, new and compelling
evidence from forensic scientists. The series takes you inside
the jury room and abroad as the manhunt closes in.

In Episode Nine of The Boy in the Woods the BBC Journalist,
Winifred Robinson, is at the Old Bailey in London as the jury is
sworn in. Their task: to decide the guilt or innocence of James
Watson. In a trial full of twists and turns, Winifred hears from
some of the jurors about what helped them reach their verdict and
as police wait anxiously in court she reflects on her own
feelings about the case.
