Episode Description

In the spring of 2024, the town of Salford again found itself at the centre of a nightmare when parts of a human body started turning up all over the city. This including an abandoned bunker, the banks of a quiet reservoir, and multiple parks. However, the only clue they would find was from grainy surveillance footage of a lone man carrying heavy shopping bags through quiet streets. That is when they gave this killer the nickname heavy bagman.
