The complicated jigsaw of events which culminated in the execution-style killing of former Carlton couple John and Joan Stirland features in a new crime documentary narrated by Silent Witness star Emilia Fox. For people in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, the catalogue of crimes which lead to the unassuming and quiet couple being gunned down in their home on the Lincolnshire coast a hot summer's day is all too familiar.
Eighteen years have passed but the memory for residents, councillors, police, the families and local journalists is one they will never forget. When gun crime was a worrying problem across Nottinghamshire, the trail of shocking events here and in Lincolnshire were among them, and have been the subject of a handful of documentaries.
Crime+Investigation channel has recommissioned Workerbee’s Murdertown for a fourth season hosted by Emilia, who also stars as Dr Nikki Alexander on BBC crime drama Silent Witness.
