Evil Up Close is the Crime series with an emphasis on investigation, access and painstaking research to bring every facet of a tragedy into pin-sharp focus. Those close to a killer tell the story of Murder. Sons and daughters, best friends and chief interrogators, lawyers and murder victims join a line-up of story-tellers which will move, shock and fascinate. Five episodes feature women who have killed for love, money or revenge. We hear of poison picked up in India, transported thousands of miles and used to kill by a scorned lover, of a vengeful child-minder jealous at the lifestyle of her employers and of a pyromaniac who sets buildings ablaze indifferent to who is inside.
