In the seventh episode of British Murders Season 6, I tell the story of Anthony Arkwright.
In August 1988, Anthony murdered Stasys Puidokis, Raymond Ford and Marcus Law in 56 hours and was suspected of having killed Elsa Konradite.
In the middle of his sadistic killing spree, he was arrested on suspicion of robbery but was released only to go and kill again.
He was initially given a life sentence in 1989 with a minimum term of 25 years before his sentence changed to a whole life order in 1990.
