Episode 9

Dan and Lucy meet the man accused of leaving the dead animals outside the village shop, as new CCTV is released in court showing how brazen it was, and how quick.

Buried is the multi award-winning investigative podcast series digging into some of the most disturbing environmental stories in history. In this series, reporters Dan Ashby and Lucy Taylor follow a trail left after dozens of dead animals were left in villages in the British countryside. They team up with the wildlife presenter Chris Packham, whose own dead-animal death threats escalated into a car bomb outside his house. The dead animals lead them into uncovering a criminal underworld in the British countryside. As one witness told us: it's like Hot Fuzz meets Squid Game.
