An update on the story | Ep 5

When Lucky Boy launched back in March, there was an important detail that didn't make it into the podcast, for legal reasons: the team had discovered that they weren’t the only people who had been investigating the allegations made by Gareth - the Metropolitan Police had been too.  Now, reporter Chloe Hadjimatheou has an update.
