On The Case – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In the early hours of the 10th of August 2023, Surrey police receive a phone call from a man named Urfan Sharif. During the phone call he confesses to killing his own daughter, 10 year-old Sara Sharif.  What the police didn’t realise was that he was 1000s of miles away in Pakistan.  He had gone on the run with his wife, brother and remaining children.  In this episode we follow the extraordinary man-hunt conducted by the Pakistani police to flush out the wanted fugitives.  We also examine the diplomatic minefield the police had to navigate in the absence of an extradition treaty between the UK and Pakistan.

In 2003, a man named Urfan Sharif arrived in the UK on a student visa after leaving his home in Jehlum, Pakistan.  Sharif spent the next 20 years terrorising and abusing the women and children in his life.  In this episode, Andy tracks these 20 years by speaking to other journalists that have covered this case.  We also have an exclusive interview with Angelika, the woman who Sharif dated when he was 26 and she was still only a teenager.  She recounts the controlling behaviour that eventually led to her being held captive and violently attacked. Finally we look at the missed opportunities that authorities had to stop Sharif, who would eventually go on to murder his 10-year-old daughter Sara in 2023.

When Ellie Baxter’s mum and dad wanted help setting up their new business, they called in a young local said to be a whizz with computers.

Ten years later they were found dead - and Ellie was accused of her parents’ murder…

Now, with the real culprit behind bars, she tells a story with more plot twists than any TV drama…

In this episode, Ellie exclusively tells Katie Knight about what it was like to come face to face with Luke D’Witt – her parents’ killer and someone she thought of as a friend – for the first time since his arrest and how she only learned about the exact horrifying circumstances of her parents’ murder in the courtroom, where she was a witness for the prosecution.

When Scarlett West was 13 years old, she was a normal, horse-mad girl doing well at school with dreams of becoming a police officer until an incident that happened on Halloween where she was viciously attacked and set on fire changed everything.

Early in the morning of November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students were found brutally stabbed to death in their off-campus rental home in Moscow, Idaho. The victims were Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Maddie and Kaylee, both asleep in Maddie’s bed, were killed first. It was just after 4am but Xana was still up having ordered a food delivery; he stabbed her next before moving onto kill Ethan where he slept. There were no signs of forced entry - the lock of the door he slipped through was broken - and two other roommates inside the house survived. Weeks later, after an investigation shrouded in secrecy, authorities arrested the then 28-year-old Washington State University criminology Ph.D. student Bryan Kohberger at his family home in Pennsylvania. On July 2nd, Kohberger pled guilty to the murders, as part of a plea deal to avoid the death penalty. His sentencing has been set for Wednesday July 23rd, and he will spend the rest of his life in prison. 

In this episode On The Case, Laura Collins, an editor and investigative reporter at the Daily Mail in New York, sits down with Howard Blum, whose latest work When the Night Comes Falling: A Requiem for the Idaho Student Murders has become an instant bestseller, to discuss the story so far and get into some of the questions that still remain unanswered.
