Daniel Jones was sentenced to 20 years in prison in November 2017 for starting a deadly house fire in Stanley, Wakefield, that killed 42 year old father of 2 Andrew Broadhead, and his eight-year-old daughter, Kiera. Jones was found guilty of two counts of manslaughter and one count of burglary, and received a 20-year prison sentence.

22 October 2026, 11:00 pm - 55 minutes 17 secondsThe Murder of Melanie Road: The Killer Who Hid in Plain Sight for 32 Years
In the summer of 1984, seventeen-year-old Melanie Road had almost everything ahead of her.
Bright, popular and ambitious, she was approaching the end of her A-levels and looking forward to university and the freedom of adult life.
But in the early hours of 9 June, after spending the night out with friends in Bath, Melanie began the short walk home.
She never made it.
Her murder would become one of Britain's most haunting unsolved crimes. Police had evidence. They had witnesses. They had something left behind by Melanie's killer that would one day prove crucial.
But as months became years and years became decades, the person responsible remained free.
For more than thirty years, Melanie's family waited for an answer.
And then, in 2015, something happened that would finally begin to unravel a mystery that had endured for a generation.
This week on Seeing Red, we follow the murder of Melanie Road, the extraordinary investigation that followed, and the breakthrough that finally brought detectives face-to-face with the man they had been searching for since 1984.

In January 2011, 27-year-old Michaela McAreavey travelled to the tropical island of Mauritius with her new husband, John, for what should have been the happiest holiday of their lives.
Married just eleven days earlier, the young couple were looking forward to beginning their new life together. But behind the luxurious surroundings of their five-star resort, an unimaginable horror was about to unfold.
When Michaela failed to return from a brief visit to their hotel room, John went looking for her. What he discovered would shatter his world and spark an international murder investigation.
How could a young bride be brutally murdered in what should have been the safety of her honeymoon suite? And why, more than fifteen years later, has nobody been brought to justice?
This week on Seeing Red, we uncover the shocking murder of Michaela McAreavey, a case of heartbreak, unanswered questions and a family's enduring fight for justice.

13 October 2026, 11:00 pm - 53 minutes 48 secondsSECOND LOOK: The Mandalay Bay Massacre — Nine Years On
On 1 October 2017, a gunman opened fire on thousands of people attending the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas Strip, committing the deadliest mass shooting by a lone gunman in modern US history.
Nine years on, we’re returning to one of the most devastating cases we’ve ever covered for the latest instalment of Seeing Red: Second Look.
Originally released in 2022, Mark recorded this episode just days after returning from Las Vegas, where a visit to the Mandalay Bay hotel inspired him to explore the events of that night. In a newly recorded introduction, he reflects on visiting the resort and the strange normality of a place where there was little visible acknowledgement of the horror that had unfolded there just a few years earlier.
The episode also gives a voice to some of those who survived the attack, including stories of extraordinary courage, resilience and, in one particularly tragic case, an almost unimaginable twist of fate.
Whether you heard this episode when it was first released or are discovering the case with us for the first time, this is Seeing Red: Second Look — The Mandalay Bay Massacre.
This episode was originally released in January 2022 and is presented largely in its original form, with a newly recorded introduction.

In the summer of 2019, 43-year-old Adrian Murphy was found dead inside a luxury apartment in Battersea, South London.
Behind the closed doors of the stylish riverside property, something terrible had unfolded. But who was the mysterious man who had entered Adrian's life in the days before his death, and what secrets had been left behind?
This week, we reconstruct Adrian's final movements and expose a terrifying story of deception, betrayal and a predator hiding in plain sight, in a case that would prove far more disturbing than anyone could have imagined.

30 September 2026, 11:00 pm - 1 hour 18 minutesTrapped Underground: Terror Beneath the Surface
This week, we’re venturing away from our usual true crime territory for something a little different.
Just as we’ve previously explored disasters including the Great Smog of London and the Titanic, this week Bethan takes us deep underground for three extraordinary stories of caving expeditions that went terribly wrong.
Beginning here in the UK, before travelling to the United States and finally Thailand, these are stories of exploration, extreme environments and the terrifying reality of becoming trapped far beneath the surface.
The first two cases take us to some particularly dark places, involving desperate rescue attempts and devastating consequences, while our final story became an international race against time that gripped the world.
This week on Seeing Red… we’re going underground.

25 September 2026, 12:00 am - 1 hour 1 minuteThe Death of Kelly Neill: What Happened in Deptford?
In October 2022, an emergency call brought police and paramedics to a home in Deptford, south-east London. What they found inside would lead to a deeply disturbing investigation.
At the centre of the case was Kelly Neill, a former stroke nurse and devoted mother whose life had changed dramatically in the years leading up to that October day.
But as investigators began to piece together what had been happening inside the property, troubling questions emerged about Kelly’s final months — and about the people she had depended upon most.
This week on Seeing Red, we tell the story of Kelly Neill: who she was, how her life changed, and the disturbing circumstances that would ultimately bring police to her home.

15 September 2026, 11:00 pm - 1 hour 19 minutesColin Norris: The Killer Nurse — Revisited
In 2008, nurse Colin Norris was convicted of murdering four elderly patients and attempting to murder another at two hospitals in Leeds. Prosecutors said Norris deliberately injected vulnerable women with insulin, causing sudden and unexplained episodes of severe hypoglycaemia. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 30 years.
Norris has always maintained his innocence.
This week, Seeing Red revisits one of Britain's most disturbing — and increasingly controversial — medical murder cases.
Before the original episode begins, Mark returns with a new 10–15 minute update.
With the Lucy Letby case continuing to raise difficult questions about medical evidence, statistics and the investigation of unexpected hospital deaths, Mark looks again at the case against Norris — including the evidence that once appeared to make his guilt overwhelming, and the developments that have since led some experts to question whether the women he was convicted of harming were murdered at all.
He also revisits Norris's deeply troubling behaviour away from the alleged murders: the personality traits identified following his arrest, his extraordinary treatment of his own cat, and the chilling comments he made while under suspicion. And if some of the medical evidence against Norris is now open to challenge, how much weight should we give to behaviour that seems almost impossible to explain away?
Plus, Mark considers what the cases of Norris, Ben Geen and Lucy Letby can tell us about one of the most difficult questions in modern criminal justice: how do you prove that a healthcare professional is deliberately killing patients when the alleged murders can look remarkably like natural medical emergencies?
The original Seeing Red episode then follows, newly remastered and lightly edited.
Colin Norris was convicted as one of Britain's most notorious killer nurses. Nearly two decades later, is his guilt still beyond reasonable doubt?
