THE INVESTIGATION
BBC2, 9pm
THIS Danish true crime drama explores the gripping case of murdered Swedish journalist Kim Wall – a case that shocked a nation and made headlines around the world.
It begins in August 2017 as Jens Moller (Soren Malling), chief of homicide in Copenhagen, learns of a missing Swedish journalist who has not returned from interviewing the designer of a home-made submarine.
Initial garbled reports suggest that she and the designer have returned to harbour but this proves to be false, as only the designer is rescued before the submarine dramatically sinks.
A search is launched, but on the advice of prosecuting attorney Jakob Buch-Jepson (Pilou Asbaek), Moller decides to charge the suspect with murder despite the lack of a body.
In the second part of this double bill, the police are flooded with calls about the case, but are any real leads?
It’s a baffling case and will require months of detective work to make sure justice is found for the victim.
