Chilling moment man caught by police as he says 'I think I've killed someone'


A chilling new crime documentary is coming to Channel 5, which focuses on murder investigations.

The first 90-minute instalment of Murder Suspect No.1 is due to air on Monday, 3 February at 9pm. The programme follows homicide detectives as they begin working on a series of violent murder cases, with the first involving a woman who was attacked with an axe in a shopping precinct in broad daylight.

While the victim fights for her life after sustaining horrific injuries, police launch a manhunt in a bid to find the suspect, who is believed to be the woman's ex-partner. However, detectives have just 24 hours to track him down.

The synopsis for the episode of Murder Suspect No.1 reads: "A savage axe attack on a woman in a shopping precinct in broad daylight, leaves her with horrific injuries and desperately fighting for her life.

"The male suspect, the woman’s ex-partner, flees into the countryside triggering a huge manhunt involving armed response, the dog unit, a police helicopter and dozens of officers.

"The suspect, armed with an axe, is dramatically arrested and taken into custody, but for detectives of Humberside Police’s Major Crime Team, the work has only just begun."

A short clip from the documentary showed the culprit on a train track as he spoke to police via telephone. In a chilling scene, he told the operators: "I've got the police helicopter overhead, so I'm sure he'll be able to tell you exactly where I am. I think I've killed an ex-partner and they're looking for me."
