00:00:00 Episode 01 Rebecca Thorp was a sporty, ambitious chef who achieved her dream of running a village pub with partner Michael Tucker. But while she worked tirelessly to build the business, Tucker, an alcoholic with a history of manipulation and control, spiraled into jealousy and paranoia. Convinced, without proof, that Rebecca was unfaithful, he shot her in the head while she bathed, hid her body in the pub freezer, and carried on as if nothing had happened, serving drinks above her hidden corpse. This is the programme 'Countdown to Murder'. 00:42:00 Episode 02 George Maban murdered Morin Cosgrove in a calculated and brutal attack, leaving forensic evidence that linked him directly to the crime. Fibers from both Morin's clothing and a discarded coat placed them in close contact during the murder, and cell phone data confirmed Maban’s presence at the scene shortly before the killing. Though he initially confessed, Maban later denied the murder in court and even tried to blame his partner Clare. Despite overwhelming evidence, he received just 13 years in prison, a sentence that shocked Morin’s family, who continue to mourn the loss of a kind, selfless woman.
