9. Seeking The Truth Wrongly Accused: The Annette Hewins Story

With her conviction for triple murder overturned and the Royal Court of Justice ruling ‘there was no sufficient evidence to convict her’, Annette is finally free from prison, but will she ever recover from its effects?
Convict turned detective, Annette campaigns for a police re-investigation of the Gurnos Fire murders. Annette tells reporters she will fight for the rest of her life to bring the real killers to justice. Is there any hidden or forgotten information that can provide insights into what really happened to Diane Jones and her children?
Annette also demands a police review about how such a miscarriage of justice happens. Tables finally turn, and Annette puts South Wales Police in the dock.
Nicole Jacob, Annette’s daughter, continues her mission to find out the truth about what really happened. Nicole is passed a secret leaked police report compiled 20 years ago, which contains some of the answers her mother so desperately wanted. The content of the report about the Gurnos Fire is revealed for the first time.
