West Midlands Police are called by paramedics, who have made a grim discovery. A man who was reported injured has been found dead in a Birmingham house. Although the body was found in the bedroom, there is blood and signs of violence in different parts of the house, leading the police to launch a murder investigation.\n\nThe post-mortem results reveal the victim has suffered a brutal attack, with over 100 injuries, and died from trauma to his head. There is no sign of a murder weapon or anyone else at the property, but with a violent killer on the loose, detectives launch urgent door-to-door inquiries.\n\nThey quickly identify a key witness, who reveals that the victim’s friend had called him, asking him to call an ambulance for the deceased. Police are unable to locate the friend in the local area, leaving them with many questions: is he a witness or another victim? Or does he have something to do with the murder? They launch a nationwide manhunt to locate him.
