Exclusive: The notorious London underground killer is being explored in a feature doc by Prime Video UK and Ireland.
The London Underground Killer delves into the life of an Irish vagrant by the name of Kieran Kelly, who could possibly be one of the UK’s most prolific serial killers. He was arrested for petty theft in 1983, and whilst in his holding cell, killed his fellow inmate, strangling him with a pair of socks. In the subsequent police interviews, Kelly claimed to have murdered and attacked many more people, including pushing them in front of trains, setting others on fire, and even poisoning. He died in prison in 2001. Committed over a period of 30 years, his alleged crimes kicked off an investigation that delved into a hidden world of delusions, fear and desperation on the streets of London.
Woodcut Media, which makes a number of true crime docs for Amazon, is behind the feature.
