Greenlit: The Murder of Sadie Hartley, ITV
The Murder of Sadie Hartley (1 x 90′) – On 17 August 2016, Sarah Williams and Katrina Walsh were found guilty of the murder of Sadie Hartley. This documentary tells the gripping story of how detectives solved this truly vicious and shocking murder – from the first call to the crime scene, through to the convictions of the killers.
With extraordinary access to the multidisciplinary police operation that brought them to justice, film delves into the anatomy of a murder investigation. Cameras follow detectives as the case unfolds from the crime scene to the dawn raid in which key suspect Williams was arrested, and the moment the murder weapon and other key evidence is discovered and ultimately to the arrest and conviction of the key suspects.
As lead Detective Superintendent Paul Withers and his team including Detective Bryony Midgley piece together evidence, they discover that Sarah Williams, who enjoyed a tangled web of relationships with multiple lovers including a 75 year old ‘sugar daddy’ and Sadie’s partner, former fireman Ian Johnson, considered herself Sadie’s love rival.
The police unravel lies told by Williams and discover her accomplice, Katrina Walsh, who claims to have no memory of the crime. Yet evidence showed the pair hatched an 18-month-long plan to kill Sadie involving scouting her house, visiting Germany to buy a key weapon, and even buying a second-hand car in a bid to evade detection and pull off the perfect murder.
