It was just a normal evening as Sophie and Robert walked home after meeting friends. They stopped in the park to chat with some people they had met in the petrol station, but quickly the mood changed, and Robert and Sophie were subjected to the most terrible violence. The shocking events of the next few minutes would change so many lives forever.

Richard Sherratt was a father of three children, and a successful property developer. When he was found dead in his home in Bridgnorth, it was clear that he had been murdered. But his family, friends, and those he had dealt with in business had nothing but the highest praise for him. So just who had killed Richard? And why?

It was the start of the holidays as the two yound girls ran down to the beach, enjoying their freedom. Following heavy rain the evening before, the girls were enjoying a dry, sunny morning on the coast. One of the girls spotted something amongst the flotsam, near the high tide mark. As young children would, they curiously approached the mysterious object hidden in the debris. A black plastic bag lay out before them, clearly containing something large inside. The girls peered inside.

Seconds later, upset and crying, they were both frantically running home from where their deeply concerned mum called the police.

Like so many before her, Sophie Lionnet, from Troyes in north-east France, had moved to the UK to improve her English, and she took up a job as an au pair in south-west London. At first all was good and she made many friends. But then the toxic nature of the couple who employed her led to her life becoming a total nightmare. Sabrina Kouider and Ouissem Medouni put Sophie through an experience of utter terror, which ended in the most shocking way.

He was a promising young trader and Kweku Adoboli seemed destined for greatness in the world of finance. A rising star at Swiss bank UBS, his future was limitless. But in September 2011, the world would learn his name for a far darker reason. In a bombshell email, Adoboli confessed to something almost unimaginable: gambling away £1.4 billion of his employer’s money in a series of unauthorized trades that would become one of the biggest losses in financial history.

This episode comes from Coventry where thirty year old Thomas Coleman was taking a horticultural course to get the experience needed for a permanent job. There he met a man ten years his junior, Robert Green who was on the same course. The pair struck up a friendship of sorts, although the two men were markedly different people. For instance, Robert Green sported a satanic symbol tattooed across his forehead whilst Thomas Coleman placed great faith in his Christian beliefs – as you can see, not the most obvious of friends.

When Green believed the Devil had told him to make a human sacrifice, the man he chose to attack was his quiet and gentle work colleague, Thomas Coleman.
