Netflix has added Luke Evans' moving real-life true crime The Pembrokeshire Murders, which originally aired on ITV.
The three-part story, now on Netflix in the UK, sees Evans star as real-life detective DCS Steve Wilkins of the Dyfed-Powys Police force, who risked his reputation by reopening two unsolved double murder cases. Bizarrely, the killer's downfall was partly due to his appearance on the classic ITV game show Bullseye.
In 2006 Steve reopened two unsolved double murders. One was the killings of Peter and Gwenda Dixon as they walked on a Pembrokeshire coastal path in June 1989. That case bore similarities to a crime committed nearby four years earlier at Scoveston Manor. Steve thought that convicted burglar John Cooper (played by Keith Allen) was responsible for both crimes. However, Steve didn't have enough evidence and knew it was a race against time to gather it as Cooper was about to be released after serving time for a series of robberies.
