‘Manhunt‘ is a 3-part drama written by Ed Whitmore (‘Silent Witness’, ‘Rillington Place’, ‘Strike Back’) and is based on the memoirs of former London Metropolitan police detective DCI Colin Sutton. It follows the real-life story of how the murder of French National, Amelie Delagrange, on Twickenham Green in August 2004 was eventually linked to the murders of Marsha McDonnell in 2003 and the abduction and murder of Milly Dowler as she travelled home from school in 2002.
Martin Clunes takes on the role of DCI Colin Sutton, who was assigned to the case of 22 years old Amelie, who was savagely attacked and struck several times on the back of the head with a hammer. With very little evidence, his painstaking approach and the diligence of his fellow officers gradually led to breakthroughs in the case.
‘Manhunt‘ episode 1 premieres Sunday, 6th January 2019, with episode 2 airing Monday, 7th January 2019, and episode 3 on Tuesday, 8th January 2019. All episodes air at 9pm on ITV.
