Here's what we know about Colin's life following his arrest Check out the trailer here. Rachel Nickell was assaulted and murdered in broad daylight during a walk on Wimbledon Common with her dog and two-year-old son in The brazen crime shocked the nation, and in a desperate attempt to catch her attacker, the police launched a major investigation that ended up pinning the crime on the wrong man. While there was no direct evidence linking Colin - who was known to walk his dog on the Common - to the murder, police became convinced he was the culprit after they enlisted the help of criminal psychologist Paul Britton who created an offender profile that was almost identical to him.
Rachel Nickell was murdered on Wimbledon Common in To try and elicit a confession from Colin, the police and Paul devised a plan dubbed Operation Ezdell which saw a female undercover officer with the codename "Lizzie James" form a personal relationship with him in a bid to get him to confess. She spent half a year feigning a romantic interest in Colin, initially through letters but they eventually met up in person at Hyde Park while officers monitored closely in unmarked vehicles.
Their conversations often turned to violent sexual fantasies, but Colin never admitted to Rachel's murder, even when asked directly. Colin stood trial at the Old Bailey but was eventually acquitted. However, amid mounting pressure from the public, Colin was charged with the murder just over a year later.
The award was decided by Lord Brennan QC, a government assessor, who described the police tactics as 'reprehensible'. The case then lay cold until , when advancements in DNA evidence led police to serial rapist and killer Robert Napper, who was already in Broadmoor at the time for the murder of model Samantha Bisset and her four-year-old daughter Jazmine. Napper confessed to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility in December Paul Britton was also charged with professional misconduct by the British Psychological Society but in , further action was dismissed due to the time delay in bringing proceedings.
Mr Stagg has now said he wants to bring a civil case against Professor Britton for 'pulling the strings' of the operation. He went on to say he wanted the professor to issue an apology for his part in the case and 'for him to admit he was wrong'.
