On September 18, 2012, Greater Manchester Police received a routine report of a burglary. Police Constables Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone were dispatched to a house in Mottram to investigate. They had no idea the call was a fake, designed specifically to lure them into a fatal trap. Waiting inside the property was Dale Cregan. He was already a heavily armed fugitive wanted for a brutal double murder. In an unprecedented and cowardly act of violence, Cregan ambushed the two unarmed officers before handing himself in. This episode of Murdered In The Line Of Duty examines one of the darkest days in modern UK law enforcement. The film breaks down the escalating gangland feud that led up to the ambush, the intense manhunt for Cregan before the murders, and the devastating aftermath of a crime that broke the nation's heart.
