Sky today announces a host of compelling, purpose-driven true crime titles coming to Sky Documentaries in 2025. These titles build on the channel's continuing success in the genre which has included BAFTA-winning Libby Are You Home Yet?, BAFTA-nominated Dublin Narcos, RTS-nominated, Tell Them You Love Me and audience hits The Body Next Door and The Essex Murders. The combination of new and returning series forensically examine some of Britain's most high-profile cases and foregrounds the issues behind them.

New titles announced today are: Bibaa & Nicole: Murder in the Park; Who Killed Goldfinger?; The Girl Who Caught a Killer; and Amsterdam Narcos.

Coming to the channel in May is a raw and compelling new Sky Original docuseries Bibaa & Nicole: Murder in the Park, unravelling the story behind the shocking killings of sisters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman, and the police misconduct that followed.

As the Covid lockdown began to ease in June 2020, a group of friends meet in a London park following Covid guidance to celebrate the birthday of 46-year-old Bibaa Henry. As darkness falls, the friends gradually leave the party, while sisters Bibaa and Nicole stay, dancing in the park. When they fail to return home, they are reported as missing, but their disappearance is not acted upon by the police and the search is left to friends and family. 36 crucial hours later, the bodies of Bibaa and Nicole are tragically found by Nicole's partner. Finally, the police take notice, but in a shocking development, the women's bodies are photographed and shared on social media by the police officers tasked with protecting the crime scene.

Through moving interviews with the sisters' mother, Mina Smallman and the small group of family and friends at the centre of the search to find them, and insights from the murder detectives investigating the case, the series pieces together the sisters' final hours, the frantic hunt for a serial killer in the making, and the police misconduct that followed. With never-before-seen evidence and police recordings, the series offers a unique insight into the investigation, exposes the attitude behind the behaviour of the police, and examines the failures that left Bibaa and Nicole's loved ones fighting for answers.

Following on from The Essex Murders, one of Sky Documentaries highest ever rated Originals, private investigations firm TMEYE take on another unsolved Essex murder in Who Killed Goldfinger?

On June 24th, 2015, one of Britain's most notorious criminals, John Goldfinger Palmer was found dead in his Essex garden. While police originally believed he died of natural causes, they eventually confirmed the case was being treated as a professional hit.

28 years earlier, Palmer had been acquitted for his part in the infamous Brink's-Mat robbery, where he melted down millions worth of gold from the £26 million raid to sell on. He amassed a fortune so big, at one point he was ranked alongside the Queen in the Sunday Times Rich List but was finally jailed for timeshare fraud in 2001.

As the 10th anniversary of his unsolved murder approaches, this new series re-examines his life and death, featuring exclusive testimony from some of Palmers closest associates speaking for the first time. Private investigations firm TMEye - fresh from reinvestigating the Essex Boys murder case, which assisted in launching the CCRC to review the convictions- will lead viewers on a hunt spanning multiple countries before finally unmasking their prime suspect.

The Girl Who Caught a Killer follows Rachael Watts, now 42, as she tells her extraordinary story - how, as a seven-year-old girl, she was kidnapped by a stranger, strangled, and left for dead.

Four years earlier, the Babes in the Wood murders of schoolgirls Nicola Fellows and Karen Hadaway had shocked the nation. Despite the evidence, the killer Russell Bishop walked free - free to proclaim his innocence and, sickeningly, lead a hunt for the real killer. Rachael not only survived the appalling attack on her, but she was able to pick out her attacker from a police lineup. Bishop was found guilty of her attempted murder, and Rachael's identity remained a secret.

Now, in this new two-part documentary series, Rachael breaks her thirty-year silence to share her story for the first time on camera, revealing the long-term impact of her trauma, and her role in helping convict a murderer. Alongside Rachael's story, family members of Nicola Fellows describe their thirty-year struggle for justice, leading to a sensational re-trial.

Featuring the personal accounts of family, witnesses, police detectives, and with previously unreleased police footage and photos, the series gives unparallelled insight into one of the most notorious crimes in British history, how a second crime exposed the real killer, and how the testimony of one little girl finally caught a killer.

Also coming this year is the fourth instalment of the critically acclaimed and BAFTA winning Narcos series - Amsterdam Narcos. From the 1970s to the early 2000s, the Dutch city of Amsterdam transformed from a liberal countercultural haven into the drugs capital of Europe. What began as a government tolerating the hash trade soon opened the floodgates to organised crime, leaving the police playing catch up as ecstasy and cocaine smuggling followed. Amsterdam fuelled a pipeline of drugs and criminality through British ports, and right across Europe.

As the Dutch underworld exploded and with the drugs trade spiralling out of control, law enforcement resorted to desperate measures in a bid to
