Fred West: How to watch the original 2019 Trevor McDonald documentary

A follow-up to the ITV special is currently in the works

A forthcoming documentary about serial killers Fred and Rosemary West has led police to excavate the cellar of a Gloucester café.

The film is a follow-up to the 2019 documentary Fred & Rose West: The Real Story with Trevor McDonald.

As part of production on the new documentary, crew members are said to be investigating a number of potential burial sites, including one associated with 15-year-old Mary Bastholm, who went missing in 1968.

Police announced they would investigate the cellar of The Clean Plate café (formerly known as the Pop In café), after the new documentary’s production company told authorities they had found possible evidence that human remains were buried there.
