When cats started to turn up dead, people quickly began to suspect a psychopath lived amongst them. Little did they know that this killer had his eyes set on much larger prey than the local felines. Murdertown returns for its fifth season, this time hosted by award-winning actress Emilia Fox. In each episode, Emilia will 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.
