MERSEYSIDE DETECTIVES: CHANNEL 4 COMMISSION NEW FACTUAL SERIES

Channel 4 have commissioned a new four-part documentary series from Liverpool-based LA Productions which gains exclusive access to Merseyside Police.

The 4x60' series, which is set to be stripped across a week, will focus on the high-profile murders of 28-year-old Ashley Dale and 9-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel, who were both killed in 2022.

The series will feature testimonies from the loved ones of both victims, as well as cameras following the work of Merseyside Police. More details are reported by Broadcast.

Channel 4's Sacha Mirzoeff said: "This is the highly sensitive inside story of how the police investigating teams go about their work while the families tell their side of the story from within the Merseyside community. Together they make a heart-rending, compulsive series which has been handled with compassion and aplomb by the LA Productions team."

Transmission details will be announced in due course.
