Description

This new series throws a stark and unsettling light on three very different cases. Rich in forensic and psychological detail, and with a unique depth of characterisation, each of the films picks apart a murder in all its terrible complexity. The story is heard from every angle and casts the viewer as a jury-member, forced to decide on guilt and innocence. Set amongst the moneyed upper classes of London’s Belgravia, the picturesque but stifling environs of small-town Scotland and the punishing confines of a Leeds prison wing, all these stories dig deep into character and motive to unearth the hidden truths behind these shocking crimes. Mixing techniques of documentary with the power, invention and breathtaking visuals of drama, these haunting and graphic whodunnits live long in the mind.
