S01E04 | John Cooper | The Murders of Richard Thomas, Helen Thomas, Peter Dixon and Gwenda Dixon

I tell the story of John Cooper in this episode.

In December 1985, John Cooper killed siblings Richard and Helen Thomas in their farmhouse at Scoveston Park before burning the property.

Four years later, John took part in a recording of the UK gameshow Bullseye as a contestant on May 28, 1989.

John then murdered Peter and Gwenda Dixon a month later, in June 1989, as they walked along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path in southwest Wales.

John was handed a whole life order for the murders in May 2011 and has also been linked with several other murders.
