She looked like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, but little Mary Bell became the face of evil. So, who was this 11-year-old convicted of the manslaughter of two little boys? What motivated her? And did her punishment fit her crimes?

This podcast explores the character of Mary Bell through the work of the author, Gitta Sereny, and TV documentaries broadcast since the child killer's release from prison.
