A new true-crime documentary on BBC Two revisits the 1994 murder of Shamsuddin Mahmood in Orkney, a case that shocked the remote Scottish islands. The 26-year-old was shot dead while serving food at an Indian restaurant. Fourteen years later, teenager Michael Ross was convicted of the murder, a verdict he continues to deny.
Journalist Hazel Martin leads the investigation, speaking to Mahmood's family, Ross's mother, and those involved in the case. Ross, now in prison, also gives his account. The series aims to re-evaluate the evidence and circumstances surrounding the killing.
The documentary airs at 9pm on BBC Two, part of an evening lineup that also includes a travel series on Channel 4, a medical documentary on Channel 4, and dramas on Sky Atlantic and BBC Three.
