Countdown To Murder

The Body In The Freezer (2x2)

: 14, 2014

The series charting the final days, hours and minutes leading up to some of the UK’s most horrific murders of modern times continues. This episode focuses on the murder of a woman whose body was discovered in a chest freezer. Reports of a chilling and cold-blooded murder hit the headlines in 2010 when Rebecca Thorpe was found dead in a chest freezer at the back of the pubs he ran with her partner Michael Tucker. She had been shot in the back of the head while taking a bath. This documentary details the tragic events leading up to her death and looks at what led Tucker to commit such a dispassionate, execution style killing.
