Fans Are Completely Shook After Watching Channel 4's 'Murder In The Car Park'

Just three years after setting up his own detective agency, Daniel's body was discovered lying in the carpark with 'two packets of crisps in one hand, his car keys in the other and an axe sticking out of his head'.

There were no witnesses to the crime and police struggled to pick up any leads. Five criminal investigations into the case went on to collapse, at a total cost of £30mil.

33 years on, no one has ever been convicted of the vicious killing.

Now, with an Independent Inquiry into the case established by Parliament, Channel 4's Murder In The Car Park reopens the gruesome mystery.

Using archive footage, dramatic reconstruction and key interviews, the docuseries examines not only how the criminal investigations themselves unfolded, but how they are linked to the excesses of the 1990s tabloid press.

The series' opening episode looked into who could have had a motive for killing Daniel, gathering testimonial from the investigating officers and the victim's brother, Alistair.

Shocked viewers took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the first 90-minute instalment, calling it "fascinating", "enraging" and "disturbing".

"Anyone else watching Murder In The Carpark? The contradictory, Rashomon-style accounts are already making me feel anxious," commented one gripped commentator.

While a third chimed in. "Would v much any crime heads watch Murder in the Car Park on C4 right now. It's such a fascinating, enraging and disturbing murder."

Comments on the sheer number of conflicting reports given by key people within the investigation was a common theme.

To catch the second episode, set your reminders for Monday 22nd June - or if you want to binge the whole series, it's available to watch on All4.

Murder In The Car Park continues Monday 22^nd June at 9pm on Channel 4.
