The intense true crime series 24 Hours in Police Custody is back on Monday, June 30, at 9:00 PM GMT on Channel 4, with the second and final part of The Butcher of Suburbia. The Bedfordshire Police detectives have a suspect in custody for the murder of 74-year-old Annette Smith, but the case is far from over.
What begins with an admission of guilt quickly spirals into something more disturbing for DCI Katie Dounias. While the suspect confesses, the investigation is just starting to reveal the full, twisted details behind the crime. The episode continues to follow the police operation as they work to understand the full extent of the suspect’s involvement, moving beyond the initial confession to uncover deeper truths.
As the UK’s long-running and successful true crime documentary series, 24 Hours in Police Custody has a way of putting viewers right alongside the police as they piece together difficult cases.
