Synopsis

Taking us from England to Greece, New Zealand and Tasmania — and with exclusive access to those at the heart of this complex case — Who Killed Billie-Jo explores the unsolved case of the murder of 13-year-old Billie-Jo Jenkins on the patio of her seaside home in Hastings, England in 1997.

With exclusive testimony from the detectives who led the investigation, expert witnesses and some of those who knew Billie-Jo, this in-depth documentary reveals how and why Siôn Jenkins — Billie-Jo’s foster father — was initially convicted of the murder, only to be acquitted following a high profile appeal and two major retrials at The Old Bailey.

We ask, if Siôn Jenkins is innocent, Who Killed Billie-Jo?
