Murder At My Door
Hosted by British actress and presenter Kym Marsh, Murder at My Door explores four cases of innocent people murdered by someone they thought they could trust. The stories show that someone’s safe place, their sanctuary, is also somewhere they can be at their most vulnerable.
In the show, Kym Marsh narrates with her distinct empathetic style the tragic deaths of Ellie Gould, Gagandip Singh, Jenny Methven, and Susan Annis, victims who unknowingly opened eir door to evil, experiencing the ultimate betrayal in the most intimate of settings.
Detectives, police officers, journalists, and experts walk us through the following investigation as they take us to key locations and talk us through the twists and turns of the case.
With crime scene photographs and specially shot filming at each location, helping to retrace the steps of the murders, each episode will provide a full 360-degree perspective of the intricate investigations in each case and, ultimately, aim to reveal the motives for the murders.
The four-part series Murder at my Door with Kym Marsh premieres on CRIME+INVESTIGATION with the first episode having aired on Monday 2nd November at 9pm. Episodes are available for 30 days on catch up.
The Shattered Window
Eileen from CrimeLapse and Emily from Morbidology are launching a new podcast The Shattered Window on the 23rd of November.
Over three decades ago, a 7-year-old girl vanished from her bedroom in the middle of the night while everybody else was soundly asleep. For a parent knowing that someone could sneak into their child's bedroom completely undetected is a thought that you would never want to cross your mind, let alone have it happen and it's even more terrifying for a parent to think that they could be suspected. This investigative true crime podcast series dissects a case that has puzzled the minds of those who know it and those that have tried to solve it. Compiled using thousands of pages of files, trial transcripts and archives as well as interviews with those involved and source audio, this is The Shattered Window.
Family Man
A+E Networks® UK has commissioned a brand-new one-off documentary Special, Family Man for Crime + Investigation®. Produced by award-winning factual television specialists Off The Fence, the film is about the terrifying and growing phenomenon of Familicide - the wiping out of an entire family by a father/husband, who then commits suicide.
Premiering on Wednesday, 25th November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women in conjunction with Crime + Investigation's #HereForHer initiative and support of the UK domestic abuse charity, Refuge, the film explores the murder-suicides of Paul Newman, who, in February 2016, battered his wife Geraldine to death before killing their two young children and committing suicide; Darren Sykes, who in October 2014, deliberately set fires in his house, killing his two young sons and himself to punish his estranged wife Claire Throssell; and Robert Mochrie, who, in July 2000, killed his wife, Catherine and their four children, aged 10 to 18, before poisoning and hanging himself.
While the conditions brought about by the Covid pandemic have seen an upsurge in domestic violence, Professor Websdale and his team are getting ever closer to unlocking the elusive combination of triggers that motivate some men to commit the most terrifying and devastating of all serial murders, taking the lives of their supposed loved ones, as well as their own.
