Investigative journalist Donal MacIntyre brings his live show about killers who came close to escaping justice to The Fire Station.
Donal MacIntyre brings The Makings of a Murderer: Fatal Mistake to The Fire Station on Thursday 15 April 2027. MacIntyre is an award-winning investigative journalist and broadcaster, and this show is built around the true stories of killers who came terrifyingly close to getting away with it.
He looks at the people who thought they'd committed the perfect crime: those who lied convincingly, destroyed evidence and set up false alibis, only to be undone by a single mistake. It could be a tiny forensic trace, a forgotten witness, a piece of CCTV or a contradiction in their own story. Drawing on some of the most compelling murder investigations of recent times, he takes you inside the hunt for killers who believed they were home and dry, right up until the moment it all fell apart.
If you're into true crime, it's exactly the kind of thing that keeps you guessing. The whole point is that one small slip-up changes everything, and MacIntyre spends the evening tracing how those tiny details eventually brought them down. It's a look at the gap between a near-miss and a conviction, and the specific errors that make the difference.
