Walking on the sands of the Lincolnshire coast, presenter Emilia Fox, begins her narration of "Mablethorpe" - Episode 5 of crime series Murdertown. It is not an enchanting tale by any stretch, but a gruesome one.
And it all began in Nottingham after the death of crime boss Colin Gunn's nephew Jamie Gunn. The demise of the teenager was the catalyst for events that led to the downfall of Gunn - who was later to be convicted of a role in a plot to kill John and Joan Stirland, a couple originally from Carlton, after they were gunned down with Italian Baretta pistols in August 2004 at their home in Trusthorpe, Lincolnshire.
