Murder 24/7 - Season 1

The series begins with the first of three programmes charting the inquiry into the fatal stabbing of 36-year-old Courtney Valentine-Brown in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, as a team of detectives and specialists work around the clock to catch the killers.

A man is arrested for the murder of Courtney Valentine-Brown, but during his interview, he names another as being the killer. This sparks a manhunt to locate him, but the search is against the clock, as detectives must find the second suspect before it becomes necessary to either charge or release the first.

The investigation into the murder of Courtney Valentine-Brown nears a conclusion. With one suspect outstanding, one on bail and one in custody, can the team of detectives and specialists secure enough evidence to charge them with murder?

Episode four follows detectives and specialists as they investigate a double stabbing in Colchester's homeless community that leaves one victim, Carl Hopkins, dead and the other seriously injured.

Episode five continues to follow the investigation into the killing of Carl Hopkins in Colchester. As the case enters its third day, the hunt is on for the unidentified murder suspect.
