MURDER AMONG FRIENDS PREMIERE
From Tuesday, 17 May at 21:50
Most murders are committed by people acting alone, with  motives as old as time - usually money, jealousy or revenge. But  there is another type of murder, which is less common but no less horrific. ‘Murder Among Friends’ reveals the chilling real-life  cases where groups of people have got together and conspired  to kill. In many cases, the individual killers would never have acted alone. Figuring out who is the leader and who is the  follower - and who actually pulled the trigger - can be a complex  mystery in itself, particularly when the murder circle collapses  and its members turn on one another. Finding truth in the midst  of deception and betrayal becomes its own kind of puzzle, and  unravelling a group's deadly intent is no simple task.
