Murder in Cairo (Pt 1) - The Death Of Our Star Reporter
Description
In 1977, David Holden, chief correspondent of the Sunday Times, was sent to Cairo to report on crucial peace talks between Egypt and Israel. A day later his body was found with a single gunshot wound in the back. The paper's editor sent a team of reporters to the region to investigate - but who killed Holden and why were questions that were never answered. The mystery remained unsolved for decades - until now.
In part 1 Peter Gillman, investigative reporter, describes the search for answers.
