Detectives investigating a “sadistic” murder issued a photofit of the suspect despite being told it looked nothing like the man thought to be the killer, a documentary will reveal on Monday night.
A friend of Marian Beattie also tells the Murder In The Badlands programme a serving police officer was at the venue where the 18-year-old met the man suspected of killing her.
The revelations emerge in the latest episode of the BBC1 Northern Ireland documentary which will be broadcast almost 50 years after the still unsolved murder.
