Murdertown: 1x10

Brighton

In 2015 a man visits a tarot card reader. Within an hour she’s dealt out the death card and he’s confessed to a murder. When cops arrive they discover he’s been living at home with his victim’s body for days. Both men are a part of the spiritualist church – and have fallen out in the biggest way possible. Cops have the grim task of investigating the crime, and proving the death is a murder. This episode taps into a series of crimes with same-sex partners committing murder in the city and living with their victims, and we tell the story of a second crime, with very similar outcomes, that saw a man go on the run for a year.
