In this episode, I tell the story of Peter Taylor, Nigel Ogier and Patrick Welch.
On March 7, 2003, Peter and Nigel lured Patrick to Ascot Racecourse on the pretext of stealing alcohol from the kitchens.
Patrick was stabbed and beaten to death by both men shortly after arriving.
Judge Stephen Kramer handed both men a life sentence on February 13, 2004, with minimum terms of 20 years.
