ITV, 9pm CRIME TIME Piers with Henriquez

In another chilling instalment, Piers meets Bronx serial killer Alex Henriquez, who until now has refused interviews since his conviction 28 years ago. Henriquez, found guilty of murdering two girls aged 10 and 14, and a woman of 21 in the Bronx, New York, is serving 75 years – but maintains he’s innocent.

Pulling up a chair next to Henriquez, Piers meets a perfectly polite and eloquent man, who even cries at one point – but is it a facade?

As Piers talks through the crimes, Henriquez has an answer for everything.

Piers also interviews the devastated mother of the 21-year-old victim, Lisa Ann Rodriguez.

There is tension as we wait to see if Henriquez will slip up in his interview or finally admit guilt.

Piers says to him: “See I have to decide, Alex, are you just a guy in prison now as an innocent man or am I looking at somebody who did do that? In which case, you’re one of the worst people I’ve ever met in my life.”
