Kevin Knowles was a brute, a thug and a suspected double murderer.
Kirkstall was a lovely county town inhabited mainly by young families looking to build a safe and caring community. That is until Knowles moved into town.

Col Ryan is a long-time local detective, councillor and mayor. Col tells us the inside story.
