Matinees of Murders and Mysteries presents… The Scottish Detective, David Swindle

Why do people kill? Are some people born evil? And is it really possible to commit the perfect murder?

With more than 34 years’ experience in policing, former senior investigating officer David Swindle has worked on hundreds of murder investigations, reviewed complex cold cases and examined the crimes of some of Britain’s most notorious killers. Now, for the first time, David is putting you in the interviewer’s chair.

This special Matinee of Murders & Mysteries is your opportunity to ask an experienced murder detective the questions you’ve always wanted answered. What really happens behind the scenes of a murder investigation? What makes someone capable of killing? How do detectives know when a suspect is lying? Why do some cases remain unsolved, and can anyone truly get away with murder?

Drawing on an extraordinary career investigating serious crime, including leading the groundbreaking Operation Anagram investigation into serial killer Peter Tobin, David will share fascinating insights, real-life experiences and the realities of investigating murder. No scripted interview. Your questions. His experience.

If you’ve ever watched a true-crime documentary and thought “But what I really want to know is…” — this is your chance to ask.
