This week on Seeing Red, we head to Cheshire to look at the heartbreaking murder of 15-year-old Alex Rodda. Found dead on a quiet country lane in December 2019, Alex’s case would expose a grim story of teenage violence, control, and a killing that shocked the local community. We unpack who Alex was, what happened in the lead-up to his death, and how the investigation pieced together the final movements of a boy whose life ended far too soon. It’s a devastating case with some deeply unsettling details, and one that left a family, a school, and a town asking how this could happen.
