He Was Tied Up and Left to Die | Britain's 'Cruelest Crime'

On Boxing Day 1995 in Camden Town, London, 53-year-old police-station mechanic Alan Holmes was brutally attacked.  He was bound, gagged and left face-down in his own flat, deprived of food and water for days before he was found alive – only to die the next day in hospital.  Yet despite arrests, his killers have never been charged.  For the documentary version see here https://youtu.be/dClSra8tmFA(00:00) The Haunting Case of Alan Holmes (00:47) Case Preview(2:14) Who Was Alan Holmes?(04:33) The Burglary Spree(5:47) The Last Christmas Meal(6:13) The Intruders Enter(8:35) The Sadistic Ordeal(9:38) The Killers Returned(11:45) The Post Mortem(12:39) Arrests Made(14:24) DNA Breakthrough(15:38) 20th Anniversary Appeal
