True crime enthusiasts are in for a treat this month as Prime Video is set to release a gripping new documentary.
‘Murder in Concrete’, launching on 31 August, has been described as an “almost unbelievable story”. The two-part series will transport viewers back to Cheshire in 2013 when a French-speaking man made a chilling confession to local police.
The man confessed to killing his housemate several years prior, and the documentary follows two lead detectives as they strive to uncover the truth. In what appears to be an ordinary neighbourhood, viewers will be privy to a “shocking and bizarre chain of events.”
Prime Video teases: “When a French-speaking man calls police in northwest England and confesses to killing his housemate in self-defence years earlier, two detectives set out to discover the truth.
“The discovery of a body buried in a concrete tomb triggers an investigation that reveals a shocking and bizarre story of lies, deceit, greed and brutal murder – and propels the investigation team into a fight for justice.”, reports the Express.
Featuring exclusive interviews with the investigators at the heart of the case, the two-part documentary also includes heart-breaking conversations with the victim’s distraught family.
Prime Video continues to tease fans by promising that the documentary will, for the “first time”, reveal every twist and turn.
The creators describe it as: “A narrative that unfolds like a suspenseful thriller – this true-crime two parter details, for the first time, every twist and turn of an almost unbelievable story of betrayal, deception and brutal murder.”
The documentary will delve into the case of Christophe Borgye, whose disappearance was reported by his Ryanair colleagues four years before his body was discovered.
It wasn’t until 2013 when a shocking phone call was made by Sebastian Bendou, confessing to the murder and revealing he had encased the victim’s body in concrete in his garden.
The Liverpool ECHO previously covered the lengthy and intricate case during its court proceedings. The ECHO reported that Bendou phoned the police from a telephone box, confessing: “This is too much for my mind.”
The documentary will guide viewers through the sequence of events that ultimately led to three men being charged with the gruesome murder.
Viewers will be able to stream the two-part documentary, each episode lasting 45 minutes, from 31 August.
