In this series of The Trial, Katie Hind and Jack Hardy take you inside the courtroom throughout the case of a security guard alleged to have plotted to kidnap, rape and kill the TV presenter, Holly Willoughby. Gavin Plumb allegedly assembled a kidnap kit of cable ties, rope and chloroform, and tried to find a “crew” in chat groups online to help him. The jury was told he was obsessed with Holly Willoughby and had more than 10,000 pictures of her on his phone. He was caught because one of the men he tried to recruit was an undercover US agent. Gavin Plumb denied soliciting murder, encouraging or assisting the commission of kidnap and encouraging or assisting the commission of rape. Follow the evidence as the jury heard it, in twice-weekly reports.
The Trial goes behind the headlines of some of the biggest trials in the world. We take you into the courtroom, bringing you the detail as the evidence unfolds, examining key moments and carrying out exclusive interviews with detectives, victims, and experts.
