Woodcut Media Unveils Hair Fetish Killer

Independent producer Woodcut Media and distributor Sphere Abacus have announced Hair Fetish Killer, a new 90-minute true crime documentary set to launch on Prime Video in the UK and Ireland later this year.

Currently in production, Hair Fetish Killer (1 x 90’) revisits November 2002, when the mutilated body of a mother was discovered in the seaside town of Bournemouth, with two clumps of precisely trimmed hair found in her hands. The case prompted detectives to follow leads more than 1,000 miles to Potenza, Italy. The original investigation unfolded over eight years, with the discovery of a second victim ultimately directing police to the perpetrator’s door.

The film is produced and directed by Woodcut’s Hannah Webster, with Nick Mavroidakis, Koulla Anastasi and Anna Sadowy serving as executive producers.

Hannah Webster, Series Producer, Woodcut Media commented: "The documentary shines a light on how investigators both in the UK and Italy tirelessly hunted the killer despite numerous challenges, dedicating their lives to securing justice for the families involved. It took 18 years of a dangerous murderer walking free before he was finally locked up, never to be released again!"

Will Stapley, Global Content Director, Sphere Abacus said: "We are delighted to be working again with leading factual producer Woodcut Media. Their expertise in premium true crime series has produced yet another gripping documentary that explores one of the most disturbing and psychologically complex murder cases, which we are certain will grab the interest of audiences worldwide."
