The true-crime series In The Footsteps Of Killers returns to Channel 4 on Tuesday at 10:00 PM GMT, opening its third season with an investigation into a brutal and baffling cold case from 1993. Emilia Fox and Professor David Wilson turn their attention to the murder of Bulic Forsythe, a Lambeth Council manager who was savagely beaten in his Clapham home before the property was set on fire.
The premiere episode methodically pieces together the events leading up to Forsythe’s death, questioning the initial assumptions made by police. Was this a personal attack, a crime of passion, or something far more calculated? The team, which includes former senior detective Dr. Graham Hill, examines the possibility that Forsythe was murdered to prevent him from whistleblowing on potential corruption within the council.
This line of inquiry opens up a host of questions about who might have wanted him silenced and what secrets he may have uncovered. The investigation looks at the dark forces that could have been operating within a local government body, turning the case from a straightforward homicide into a potential conspiracy.
The series is known for its rigorous examination of unsolved murders, and this first episode sets a somber and determined tone. By revisiting the evidence and re-interviewing key figures, Fox and Wilson attempt to bring new clarity to a case that has remained unsolved for over three decades.
In The Footsteps Of Killers begins its new season Tuesday at 10:00 PM GMT on Channel 4.
