Neil Maskell, who appeared in Peaky Blinders as Winston Churchill, takes on the role of DI Keith Pedder, the lead investigator. Mark Stanley, recognised for his role as Rob Hepworth in Happy Valley, plays DS Ivan Agnew, who reopens the case in 2002.
The cast also includes Jon Pointing (Big Boys) as DC Nick Sparshatt, and Claire Rushbrook (Rivals) as Dr Jean Harris-Hendriks, who supports young Alex. The Witness is now streaming on Netflix.
