Murder Suspect No.1

Catching killers is never easy. In this new gripping police series, we follow Humberside’s Major Crime Team as a series of horrific and violent murder investigations unfold.

Every case begins with a frantic 999 call with victims on the precipice of life and death; someone’s mother, father, sister, brother, child.

With extraordinary access to the detective team throughout each case, the series draws the viewer into the dark heart of murder investigations as the hours and minutes tick away, and where real life unfolds as the ultimate high stakes drama.

Can the detectives unravel what happened and who was responsible, will the police manage to confront their Murder Suspect No.1 in interview and present their evidence? …and will they get the charges to stick before the suspect strikes again?
