Additionally, famous headline cases from the US and UK like Kemper on Kemper, Britain’s Most Evil Killers and the In Defense Of series will bring new insight into some of the most notorious killers of modern times.

In terms of the station's official mantra, we're told:

"Sky Crime will unleash the detective in everyone, getting under the skin of some of the most brutal criminals and explore numerous unresolved cases. Get ready to go behind the yellow tape, piece together the evidence, interrogate the suspects and identify the perpetrators.

"From savage serial killers, unexplained disappearances, and love stories gone sour – Sky Crime will take viewers on journeys through some of the most harrowing, chilling and heart-breaking crimes committed in the US and the UK."
