The tale of the South Wales Slayer arc comes full circle with part 4 of this series' multi part episode arc of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast - where in the South Wales area of Pembrokeshire, over past weeks we've already looked at some serious and horrific crimes over a period of many years. We've heard how police had reviewed them under Operation Ottawa, and identified a powerful suspect - one already responsible for a prolific series of crimes - but could they find evidence tying him to the Ottawa offences?

Well, let's go find out.

The episode contains descriptions of crimes and events that some listeners may find disturbing or upsetting - so discretion is advised whilst listening.
