The Moment of Proof returns to BBC One on Thursday, June 26, at 10:45 AM, bringing with it two new cases that will test the mettle of police investigation. Season 4, Episode 9, kicks off with a chilling account of abduction and robbery, before turning to a deadly poisoning that sends detectives on a frantic search for answers.
The first incident starts with a seemingly innocent business meeting in Cambridgeshire, which quickly turns sinister when two men are lured into a trap. Masked assailants, brandishing weapons, force their victims to transfer a considerable sum of money. The police must then work to disentangle a complicated web of phone calls and CCTV footage to piece together what happened and find their culprits.
Then, the focus shifts to a baffling poisoning case. After a couple falls ill from eating curry, the situation turns fatal for one of them, leaving investigators to hunt for a killer. Toxicology tests become key here, helping to identify the exact cause of death and give police solid evidence to use in their search.
The program continues its factual approach, laying bare the real-life challenges faced by officers as they work to gather irrefutable evidence.
