The Murder of Tia Sharp (3x1)

Date de diffusion: Mar 16, 2014

In August 2012, 12-year-old Tia Sharp went missing from her grandmother’s home in South London. This sparked a nationwide search for the missing schoolgirl. Unbeknownst to the family and police, Tia had been sexually assaulted and murdered by her step-grandfather, Stuart Hazell. Her body was discovered a week later in the loft. We reveal the extent of Hazell’s perversions, including that he had been secretly filming Tia before her death. And the police reveal the true horror of Hazell’s deviant sexual behaviour for the first time. In the ultimate betrayal he led the search for Tia and comforted her family, whilst knowing exactly where she could be found. Tia's grandmother, Christine and mother, Natalie, talk for the first time since the trial about the impact the murder had on them and their family. With expert analysis from forensic psychologist Dr Keri Nixon and psychologist Emma Kenny, we get an insight into the twisted mind of Stuart Hazell.
