Crime and Paranormal

Murdered In The Line of Duty

PLAY


The mesmerizing, emotional and shocking stories of police officers murdered in the line of duty.

Murdered in the Line of Duty tells the harrowing stories of when the unthinkable happens and police officers are killed while simply doing their job. Each episode focuses on one high-profile police officer murder case and examines the events leading up to the killing, the murder itself and the aftermath. What happened to the perpetrator? Did the police investigation differ from the norm? Did the approach to policing in the UK change as a result of the case?

The series is a trio of stand-alone episodes but each has an overarching theme tying them together. The first re-tells the Shepherd’s Bush Murders in 1966, the second investigates the sadistic killer, Dale Cregan, who murdered two police officers in 2012 and the third examines the murder of PC Ian Broadhurst in 2003 by the ex-US marine David Bieber.
