Are you obsessed with all things true crime? Can you spot the guilty party in a thriller faster than your friends can tuck into their film snacks?

If the answer is 'yes', then you need to check out a fully immersive murder trial experience that transports participants straight to the heart of the courtroom.

You'll need to be quick to snap up tickets though, because the experience kicks off 8th September at 9pm!

Along the way, you'll sort through the facts, weigh up the evidence and finally find the defendant, Dr Hilary Meadows, guilty or not guilty.

If you're forever yelling at the TV during crime mysteries, then this is for you.

The woman in the dock is Doctor Hilary Meadows, a paediatric consultant at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.

Dubbed by the national press as 'The Black Widow', she stands trial for the murder of possibly 447 children across her medical career spanning over 40 years - making her the biggest serial killer in history, if convicted.

When three infant children under her care died in quick succession in February this year, their parents requested an investigation to look into their deaths. The findings were shocking.

So, that's the outline of the case, but how does the trial work?

Well, tickets cost £11.99 and gain you a seat on the jury for all six episodes of the trial, which plays out across the month of September.

What's more, The Murder Trial Live will assist you in your decision making with an in-house legal team, who offer all kinds of insights into the role of jurors in real cases.
