8:00

Warwickshire police arrested five suspects in the hunt for Naomi Smith’s killer, but they had the wrong men. Cutting-edge DNA and bite mark forensics would later reveal the real murderer hiding in plain sight. In each episode of Murdertown, we visit towns and local communities throughout the country rocked by murder and tragedies, from which the scars persist to this day. Through the testimony of investigating police officers, local journalists, friends and relatives, the series re-tells these shocking incidents and how the lives of those directly affected will never be the same again.
