Killer Britain with Dermot Murnaghan heads into its fifth season with a look back at the death of David Clarke in an episode titled Roustoby, airing Monday, June 23, 2025, at 9:00 PM GMT on Crime & Investigation. This series often features cases that Dermot Murnaghan himself has reported on, lending a direct, informed perspective to each story.
The program revisits a case initially dismissed as an accident, a common enough occurrence in true crime where initial assessments can sometimes be misleading. However, a significant turning point arrived in the form of a drunken confession caught on tape. This taped admission redirected the focus of the investigation entirely, pointing detectives toward David Roustoby, David Clarke’s neighbor.
Killer Britain makes a point of digging into the detective work behind these cases, highlighting the often-complicated efforts to piece together the truth. The episode includes archive footage and interviews from those closest to the case, including family members and investigating officers, aiming to provide a full picture of how the case unfolded.
