A+E Networks UK has commissioned a third season of Killer Britain with Dermot Murnaghan for Crime+Investigation.

Produced by FirstLookTV, Killer Britain with Dermot Murnaghan explores the real stories and intrigue behind the headlines of infamous murder cases. The new five-part season of the true-crime series will air every night across a week in October.

In each episode of Killer Britain with Dermot Murnaghan, the journalist recounts a case he has reported on or followed at close quarters, with archive footage, key interviews from those closest to the case. In this third series, Murnaghan will guide viewers through such crimes as Nottingham’s “Sneinton Strangler” Mark Martin, the horrific murder of Hazel Dix by her previously convicted husband Glyn Dix, the murders by infamous Barking serial killer Stephen Port, the tragic fates of James Attfield and Nahid Almanea who were killed by Britain’s youngest “want-to-be” serial killer James Fairweather, and the tragic death of Sana Muhammad, murdered by her abusive ex-husband Ramanodge Unmathallegadoo.

Diana Carter, commissioning editor and head of talent at A+E Networks UK, said: “Series one and two were incredibly well received by our knowledgeable and passionate audience. The authority that Dermot Murnaghan brings to this fascinating series is a big reason behind the success of Killer Britain so far and we’re really excited to be teaming up with FirstLookTV once more, for a third iteration of Killer Britain, which will be premiering on Crime+Investigation later this year.”

FirstLookTV’s Will Hanrahan said: “Dermot’s knowledge and storytelling ability, honed over decades of stellar TV presenting, mean there is no one better to tell these vitally important stories. Working with the team at A+E Networks and Crime+Investigation on the first two series has been incredibly rewarding, as together we’ve been able to put the spotlight on cases that gripped the nation once more, long after they have been front-page news, to investigate their lasting effects.”
