The BBC drama, Four Lives, has given hope to a mother of a murdered postman that she will still see justice for her son.
Paul Savage, aged 30 and father of one, was brutally attacked on a street in Mold, Flintshire on February 4, 2003. Paul had been delivering post on his round when he was found in the driveway of a house on Clayton Road in the town.
He had been repeatedly coshed around the head so violently that the base of his skull was crushed. No one seems to have seen or head the assailant as they struck then fled the scene.
North Wales Live reports that after the owner of the property found the unconscious postman, Paul was rushed to Wrexham Maelor Hospital. But despite the medics' valiant efforts, he passed away.

Nearly 19 years on, the investigation into his murder continues.
North Wales Police delved into Paul's past and began to suspect that he may have been killed in a gangland attack. Two hooded males were seen nearby.
But despite the offer of a £100,000 reward, some 4,000 statements being taken and a reconstruction on BBC's Crimewatch programme, the killer or killers still remain at large.
His mother, June White, who is now 71-years-old, has fought for his killer or killers to be caught and prosecuted for the terrible crime that took place on Clayton Road.
June has said that the recent TV series Four Lives, which shows how a group of detectives caught serial killer Stephen Port who killed four men in London, has offered her new hope.
From her Lancashire home, she said: "I saw the Four Lives series about that case and thought: that's good, those mothers got justice.
"Many times I've felt wow, they've got somebody, maybe 25 years after (a crime)."
When speaking about the case into her son's murder, she added: "I've been up every avenue but I won't give up. I'm still on the case. It's my dream to see them in court."
Over the years, June has been in contact with police and would still welcome any new information which may help officers. However, her struggle to see the culprit in court has only got harder as she had battled her own health problems.
In recent months, she has had bowel cancer, which is thankfully in remission, and has had a kidney removed.
"It reminds me that none of us are getting any younger," she said.
North Wales Police said the investigation is still open.
A spokesman said: “The investigation into the murder of Mr Paul Savage in Mold in February 2003 remains open.
"Anyone with information is urged to contact us directly via 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555111."
