Unlawful Killing: Truth | Series 2 Episode 1 Unlawful Killing

When a member of the public dies in suspicious circumstances, there’s a criminal investigation. But what happens when it’s the state that’s the suspect? 
Lucy and Lee are back and this time, they’re looking at what happens after someone has died at the hands of the state and how families are often left in the dark fighting for answers. 
Shot in 1985 by police in Brixton, Cherry Groce died 26 years later. In 2011, an inquest found that Cherry died as a result of the bullet lodged in her spine. Lee tells us what happened after his mum’s death, the inquest process and his families’ long journey to the truth.
