The acclaimed documentary series returns with six more investigations.
When British soldiers shot dead 24 Chinese "terrorists" in Malaya in December 1948 it was said to be one of the most successful operations in the war against the communists. However, the truth of what happened in this tiny Malayan village has haunted the British army for more than 40 years.
Eye-witnesses claim that the dead were unarmed, innocent civilians, who were shot down in cold blood. Wong Ying, who was one of the witnesses to the incident, says: "In my mind it was an atrocity. No questions asked, no investigations. It was a cruel slaughter."
Eric Lazenby and Don Houlston, the first soldiers to come upon the carnage in the days after the shooting, were never told exactly what their friends had done. Returning to the scene of the killing, they try to unravel the mystery.
Inside Story reveals the secrets of a very British massacre - and the cover up which followed.
