About
The Devil’s Apprentice is the story of one of Australia’s most shocking crimes - the murder of two policemen in cold blood. It’s also the story of one of the men convicted of that crime and his 22 year fight for freedom. It’s a story of sacrifice, secrets, corruption and bloodshed. Throughout the series, you’ll hear from people that were there - through the investigations, the trials, the lies and the heartache. And you’ll hear directly from the man at the centre of it all. He speaks publicly for the first time. And it’s unmissable.
