The unearthed confession of one-legged Nottinghamshire murderer Michael Sams' confession will soon air in a new documentary. After a month-long high-profile trial, Sams was jailed with four life sentences to his name and has now become one of Britain's oldest prisoners.
During the trial, the toolmaker insisted he was innocent of the kidnapping and murder of Julie Dart, as reported by The Daily Star. The teenager had vanished from the streets of Leeds.
He did however confess to the abduction of Stephanie Slater, and the estate agent who he then held ransom for £175,000 in his Newark workshop. The jury didn’t believe his word, and Sams was given four life sentences for his crimes.
