BBC's Sherwood has brought two Nottinghamshire murders back into the spotlight. Writer James Graham admitted the six-part fictional series was inspired by the real life events from his home county of Nottinghamshire that hit the headlines when he was a student.
Sparking one of the biggest police manhunts in British history, the events of 2004 scarred families and communities. And while the two murders were not linked, they happened within weeks of each other and both killers hid out in woodland near Annesley Woodhouse.
The crime drama is fictional and stars David Morrissey, Robert Glenister, Adeel Akhtar, Lesley Manville, Alun Armstrong and Joanne Froggatt, but the real life events saw Robert Boyer and Terry Rodgers convicted for the crimes. At the time Nottingham Post covered the manhunt and court appearances of the suspects. Here we explain, who Robert Boyer was and what happened to him.
