BBC Two’s “Forensics: The Real CSI” returns Sunday, plunging viewers into the heart of a chilling murder investigation. In “Frightened to Death,” the West Midlands Police confront a brutal crime scene: an elderly man found dead in his home, the scene suggesting forced entry and a violent struggle. The victim was found restrained with telephone cable, painting a grim picture for the investigating team.
Crime scene coordinator Jo Ward and homicide detective Tom Lyons lead the murder inquiry, facing the immediate challenge of determining the time of death. Neighbors’ concerns, triggered by the man missing a scheduled call with family. Establishing a timeline becomes crucial as detectives pore over CCTV footage and piece together the victim’s last known movements.
While the post-mortem examination aims to provide the exact cause of death, the team must work quickly to gather evidence and identify potential suspects. Tune in to BBC Two this Sunday 16 March at 9 PM for a close-up view of real crime investigation.
