True Crime Series Police Suspect No.1 Returns For Brutal Fifth Season

Channel 5's true crime documentary series Police Suspect No.1 has returned for a fifth season, with new episodes airing weekly. The show, which first premiered in 2020, follows detectives as they investigate major crimes, and has gained a reputation for its graphic content.

The first episode of the new season, which aired earlier this month, featured a harrowing incident where a woman reported an intruder attempting to break into her home. The situation escalated into a brutal assault on a police officer, captured on bodycam footage. Viewers took to social media to express shock, with one describing it as 'animal' behaviour and another saying it 'made me feel sick'.

Tonight (January 19) at 9pm, a new episode will investigate a violent road rage incident in Ellesmere Port. The channel teases: 'Ellesmere Port CID must put together a watertight case after a violent road rage incident.' The episode promises high speeds and intense moments as officers face a life-or-death case.
