September 1973. Bakewell.
A quiet cemetery. A brutal murder. And a 17-year-old boy who would spend 27 years behind bars for a crime he always insisted he didn't commit.
But as the decades passed, the story began to unravel.
Witnesses claimed Wendy had been seen alive with another man after Stephen Downing had already left the cemetery.
Anonymous letters pointed towards other men who may have been there that afternoon. Forensic evidence was challenged.
And eventually, after 27 years in prison, Downing's conviction was quashed by the Court of Appeal.
Yet Wendy Sewell's killer has never been brought to justice.
So what really happened inside that cemetery on that September afternoon?
Watch the full documentary now.
