Renowned crime journalist Donal MacIntyre meets former Detective Chief Inspector Clive Driscoll to discover how he solved the murder of young mother Surjit Athwal Ð a sickening, premeditated crime that her husband Sukhdave and mother-in-law Bachan Kaur Athwal were ultimately convicted for.

Renowned crime journalist Donal MacIntyre meets Detective Chief Superintendent Kate Meynell to discover how she solved the appalling murder of virtually the whole of LeicesterÕs Taufiq family, who lost their lives in a tragic arson attack. Shehnila Taufiq, and her children Zainab, Bilal, and Jamal, all died after retribution for the fatal stabbing of fitness instructor Antoin Akpom went horribly wrong. Meynell reveals that a group of youths were so incensed at murder of their friend that they took the law into their own hands and set fire to the killerÕs house Ð but they picked the wrong house. ShehnillaÕs husband Dr Mohammad Taufiq survived because he was away at the time, and Meynell was only able to present him with some kind of justice after she and her team found CCTV footage that led to the identification of the careless arsonists. In court, Tristan Richards and Kemo Porter were given minimum terms of 35 years and 25 years.
