As we move into episode two, we are six months on, which the mercurial Keith deems an appropriate amount of time to wait before rejoining the dating scene. He answers a lonely hearts ad, writing to the woman that she might have seen him on the telly. By the time they meet for a drink, she has alerted the police and been replaced by “Liz”, an undercover officer wearing a wire. Some weeks later, “Liz” tells Keith that her uncertainty about whether Pat might return is preventing her from committing to the relationship. Keith reassures her that this is not a problem because, he says, he strangled Pat and burned the corpse.

The confession was declared inadmissible by the judge as the suspect was considered to be interviewed and was not cautioned. He was found not guilty.

This is a case where I think the suspect was guilty, but the police ****** up so badly the judge had no alternative but to dismiss the recordings.

It’s a documentary worth watching in any case.
