Our take on Wrongly Accused: The Annette Hewins Story podcast

Wrongly Accused: The Annette Hewins Story is a personal dive into a mother's nightmare that ended in tragedy. Each week, for about half an hour, Nicole Jacob, Annette's daughter, shares her quest to piece together the events leading to her mother's wrongful conviction in one of the UK's most shocking arson cases. The story begins with a devastating house fire that claimed lives, leading to a twisted tale of injustice. Annette Hewins, after years behind bars, was finally freed when her conviction was overturned, but the scars remained. Nicole's journey is not just about seeking truth; it's a daughter's love trying to clear her mother's name. Wrongly Accused: The Annette Hewins Story is a true crime podcast by BBC Radio Wales.
