S2: Episode 2 - The Crossbow Cannibal

24th May 2010. Bradford, England. A building caretaker sits reviewing CCTV footage as part of his regular duties. But this would not be any ordinary shift. A shadow appears just meters from the camera lens on what would normally be a deserted corridor.

Approaching the camera with ill-deserved confidence and a sick grin, was a man of medium build with dark hair. He walks brazenly up to the camera, stares down the lens, raises his left hand's middle finger, and tightly grips a crossbow in his right.

But this wasn’t the man’s first encounter with serious crime. In fact, his reign of terror had begun almost twelve months earlier. This is the chilling story of the man who dubbed himself; The Crossbow Cannibal, who would leave an unknown number of bodies in his wake.
