The aftermath of the double stabbing in Worcester continues on BBC Two’s Murder 24/7, Tuesday, June 24, at 9:00 PM. “Killing in the Close Part 2” picks up directly from the cliffhanger of the previous episode, with Damian Homer still in custody and maintaining his self-defense plea. The focus shifts to Stacey, the surviving victim, as she recovers and prepares to give her account of the night’s horrific events to the police.
This episode is critical, as Stacey’s statement could either corroborate Homer’s version or completely upend the investigation. Viewers will see the police carefully work through her testimony, especially as she recounts seeing Homer arm himself with a knife, moments before the stabbings.
The program pieces together the hours leading up to the attack, comparing Stacey’s description of the family’s day with Homer’s, noting where their stories converge and diverge—until they returned home. The episode aims to explain the argument that escalated into violence, revealing more about the couple’s strained relationship and the sequence of events that led to Wendy Francis’s death. This second part of “Killing in the Close” is set to provide crucial context and possibly a clearer path forward for the police.
