On April 30, 1999, far-right terrorist David Copeland carried out a series of nail bomb attacks across London, specifically targeting Black, Bangladeshi, and gay communities in Brixton, Brick Lane, and Soho. Three people were killed — Nik Moore, John Light, and Andrea Dykes, who was pregnant at the time — and over a hundred were injured.
Over 20 years later, the police hunt for Copeland is now being told as part of the latest instalment of Netflix's Manhunt true crime documentary series. Nail Bomber: Manhunt features interviews with people affected as well as those involved in the effort to track Copeland down.
Nail Bomber: Manhunt arrives on Netflix May 26.
