The Hurricane Tapes

Thieves in the night

Duration: 18 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC World Service East and Southern AfricaLatest broadcast: on BBC World Service West and Central Africa

We meet the two eyewitnesses that led police to focus on, and eventually arrest, Carter and Artis. Alfred Bello and Arthur Bradley would become star witnesses, but why were they at the scene of the crime?

Plus, for the first time, the policeman that arrested John Artis and Rubin Carter tells us his side of the story, and we hear that dramatic arrest told from both sides.
