Making of a Fugitive - 4. The hitmen and a fugitive

A bungled contract killing in Cardiff shocks the country and leads to a businessman becoming an international fugitive.
Two drug addicts hired to carry out a hit, go to the wrong house. They mistakenly murder a brilliant young student, Aamir Siddiqi. But 15 years on, his family are still waiting for a third man suspected of involvement in the crime to face justice. Fugitive Mohammed Ali Ege is on Most Wanted Lists around the world, so how is he staying one step ahead of the law?
