Murder Detective, produced by true crime specialists Peninsula Television, will see Hill bring his 30-year experience to provide a full 360-degree perspective on the inner workings, twists and turns of the police work in these fascinating cases.

Joined by the Senior Investigating Officer in each case, Hill takes us inside the investigations into the deaths of Sharon Birchwood (Dec, 2007), Jody Dobrowski (Oct, 2005), Adrian Murphy (June, 2019), Maheswaran Kaneshan (Jan, 2004) and Dean Mayley (Feb, 2014) to uncover the challenges and hardships faced by police and loved ones of the victims, and the perseverance and expertise involved in bringing the perpetrators to justice.

In the series we aim to bring viewers into the heart of the murder investigations, so they can follow the trials and tribulations faced by the police and the relatives of the victims, every step of the way.” 

Murder Detective premieres on Crime+Investigation Play from 16th October, with all episodes available on the brand-new streaming service. The series will air weekly on Crime+Investigation, Sundays at 9pm.
