The six hidden pieces of evidence that led to Lynette White's killer

The hidden forensic clues that led to the conviction of Lynette White's real killer are being examined in a new documentary looking at some of the UK's most infamous cold cases. Minute traces of blood found on a cellophane cigarette wrapper was the key needed to unveil the evidence that helped solve the case years later.

The infamous Cardiff murder is the second case to be examined in a new ITV series Cold Case Forensics. The series delves into the world of leading forensic scientist Dr Angela Gallop and her team, as they unpick clues that no one had unearthed before.

In the latest, Dr Angela describes how she and her team were called in by police re-investigating the murder of Lynette, who had been stabbed more than 50 times at her flat in Cardiff on Valentine's Day 1988.
