BRITAIN'S COUNTRYSIDE KILLERS

Each episode focuses on a distinct murder that transformed once-idyllic landscapes into infamous crime scenes forever imprinted in local memory.

Through in-depth interviews with locals, forensic experts, and journalists, the series unravels the chilling details of each crime: from the relationships between perpetrators and victims, to the meticulous investigations and courtroom dramas that followed.

The stark contrast between the serene geography and the darkness of human acts becomes a poignant backdrop, echoing the profound impact these tragedies have had on the tight-knit communities they struck.

The Britain’s Countryside Killers episodes share a common theme in that they focus on cases which have achieved significant notoriety in rural areas of the United Kingdom. Although each case will be different in content, they all share common geography, making the countryside not only the stage where these crimes occurred but an important character that will feature throughout the series. By filming in rural areas the programmes will capture both the characteristically wild and untamed nature of the locations, as well as the unique community and characters of the place and how the comfort of ordinary, everyday life is shattered by a story of violence. Providing context to each murder by touching on the human stories that imbue these locations, we will offer a sense of foreboding into the particulars of each case.
