Matinees of Murders and Mysteries

Featuring Katie Trinder and former Detective Superintendent David Swindle

What makes someone capable of murder? Could a killer be someone completely ordinary – a neighbour, a colleague, or even someone you know? And when the unthinkable happens, how do detectives begin to uncover the truth?

In the very first episode of Matinees of Murders & Mysteries, host Katie Trinder is joined by former Detective Superintendent David Swindle, who has spent decades investigating some of Britain's most disturbing crimes.

Together, they step inside the world of a murder investigation, exploring the psychology of killers, the clues that can crack a case and the lies that can lead investigators down the wrong path.

From staged crime scenes and seemingly innocent suspects to false confessions and the chilling question of whether some killers really do feel no remorse, this fascinating conversation explores what drives people to kill – and how detectives separate fact from fiction.

Can you really spot a murderer? Do killers always make mistakes? And is the most dangerous assumption in any investigation believing you've already found your killer?

Dark, thought-provoking and utterly fascinating, this is a journey into the human mind and the extraordinary work involved in uncovering the truth.
