S02E06 - Christopher Hawkins (The Murder of Ryan Hawkins)

In this episode of British Murders, I tell the story of English child murderer Christopher Hawkins.

Hawkins violently attacked two of his children in Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire, on September 23, 2007, with a knife.

His 14-year-old daughter Donna managed to survive the frenzied attack, however, 4-year-old Ryan died as a result of his injuries.

Hawkins was handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 21 years.
