The Post Office Murder
Cold-blooded killer or innocent victim?
The Post Office Murder unwraps the story of a brutal murder in a bucolic Yorkshire village and a 14-year battle for answers. The case rocked the local community, and when local postmaster Robin Garbutt was arrested and charged with his wife’ s murder, it instantly became a‘ state-of-the nation’ crime, and headline news.
But Garbutt, who was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison, always maintained his innocence. Could his conviction now be seriously undermined by the Horizon scandal, one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in British history?
The series is set to be a fascinating exploration of whether Garbutt is indeed innocent, or in fact a cold-blooded murderer. It will be a must-watch true crime series from Lightbox, a producer with an enviable track record in creating award-winning content.
