The Makings of a Murderer - Double Jeopardy

Colin Sutton is coming to Scarborough Spa Theatre on Saturday 9 October 2027 with The Makings of a Murderer - Double Jeopardy. It's a true crime evening led by the man who lived it: Sutton is a former Detective Chief Inspector who spent his career heading some of Britain's most complex murder investigations. If you've got any interest in how those cases actually come together, this is one of the few chances you'll get to hear it from the lead investigator himself.

He's returning to the stage following the success of his Real Manhunter live tour, and this new show takes you well beyond the police tape. He'll be drawing on his own career to walk you through the process, bringing firsthand insights and exclusive case material that you won't find in a newspaper report. It's not just a retelling of old cases, either; the evening looks at how modern policing, evolving investigative techniques, and advances in forensic science have transformed murder investigations over the years. Sutton also touches on why those developments haven't always led to a better outcome, which is the kind of detail that usually gets left out of the polished version.

Presented by the lead investigator, the night is built around real-life detective work. He'll be revealing the evidence, the critical decisions made behind the scenes, and the relentless pursuit of justice that drives a case from start to finish. It's a look at the actual mechanics of a murder investigation, told by someone who spent his working life inside them.

The Makings of a Murderer - Double Jeopardy plays at Scarborough Spa Theatre on 9 October 2027. You can find tickets through the venue's usual channels.
