Murdertown

Brighton (1x10)

Air date: Nov 05, 2018

When killers strike, they don’t usually want to be caught. But in Brighton, two murderers carried out despicable crimes and then went to the effort of confessing. In this episode we tell the story of Derick Marney, horrifically murdered in a crime that wasn’t detected for over a week. We meet the tarot card reader who saw the crime through her cards, and alerted police to what had happened. And we examine the tragic recent slaying of local woman Jill Howells – murdered in her own home trying to help a friend in need. With contributions from witnesses, friends and reporters, this is the story of horrific murder, and bizarre confessions in one of the UK’s trendiest cities.
