The Jigsaw Murder

The Jigsaw Murder details one of the most gruesome murder mysteries in the UK, shining a light on the mind of a devious killer who toyed with police by sending pieces of his victim’s body across the country.

In 2009, a 49-year-old Hertfordshire kitchen salesman named Jeffrey Howe went missing. Weeks later, pieces of his body — first a leg, then a forearm, and later his head — were found scattered across the UK countryside. Within a month, almost every part of Howe had been discovered, all meticulously dismembered, as though the killer had done this many times before.

Directed by Jill Worsley, The Jigsaw Murder delves deeply into this heinous crime. It traces the timeline of the murder, the dismemberment and disposal of the body, and probes the psychology of the man behind the act. By the time the documentary concludes, the face of evil is revealed — and it may surprise you to learn what it looks like.
