The Black Panther Murders

In the mid-1970s, the north of England was terrorised by a vicious criminal known as the Black Panther. Among hundreds of burglaries and armed robberies, several sub-postmasters were shot dead. Then in January 1975, he abducted, ransomed and killed schoolgirl Lesley Whittle. When the Black Panther was eventually unmasked, his identity was revealed as Donald Neilson, a self-employed jobbing builder and family man who was obsessed with reliving his army life.
