Murdered at First Sight is a true crime series which tells the shocking stories of people who were killed by someone they had never met.
If you had turned left, not right...
If you had chosen to walk a different path...
If you had just decided to stay at home...
Maybe... you would never have encountered your killer.
Most killers know their victims, Murdered At First Sight investigates the alarming rise in ‘Stranger Murders’ and the challenges faced by the police in tracking down the suspect of an entirely random homicide.
With these cases, there are no disgruntled partners, no jealous relatives, no family squabble… they leave behind devastated families and terrified communities. And these seemingly motiveless murders, notoriously difficult to crack are on the rise. In fact, last year according to ONS, in the UK, 137 men and 23 women were killed by people they didn’t know and had never met, a 43% rise on previous years.
