Melanie Road, 17, was murdered on her way home from a nightclub in Bath in 1984. She had been out with her boyfriend and friends, but Melanie had been sexually assaulted and brutally stabbed 26 times on her way back home. A milkman found her body the following day. After multiple lines of enquiries and arrests, the police weren't able to find the killer, and despite recovering a large amount of DNA evidence at the scene, the case went cold. Over the next 30 years, the police continued to review the case and check the DNA database for any matches but no real breakthrough. There were 100s of potential suspects who were checked against the database but not a match. The real breakthrough came in 2014 when the DNA database returned a familial match, leading the police to married father Christopher Hampton. This man had brutally murdered Melanie on the night in 1984 and had been at large for 30 years.

Pennie Davis'body was found with multiple stab wounds in a field where she rode her horse in the village of Beaulieu on 2nd September 2014. The case centered on Mrs. Davis' relationship with Benjamin Carr, 22, the son of her estranged partner, who had "lasting hate and anger" towards her. Mrs Davis had reported Carr to police for two sexual assaults, which he denied and the matter was not taken further by police. Animosity resurfaced in 2012, however, when Mrs. Davis found out Carr's father was to re-marry and Davis threatened to disrupt the proceedings by going public with her allegations. Carr hatched a plan to pay career criminal Justin Robertson £1,500 to 'silence her for good.' Police believe Robertson intended to scare Ms. Davis, but when she challenged him and removed his balaclava, he panicked, realised she could identify him and killed her. Both Carr and Robertson were charged with the murder and found guilty.

Vikki Thompson went missing in Ascott-under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire, while walking her dog on 12 August 95. The dog returned home without her, raising the alarm. After a frantic search, she was found alive but badly beaten - she died 6 days later. Mark Weston emerged as the prime suspect, the Police set about building a case, with enough evidence to charge him with the murder. When the case went to trial, Weston was found not guilty by the jury. A decade after the murder of Vikki Thompson, the double jeopardy law was changed in 2005, allowing a person to be tried for the same crime twice; the Police decided to look at the case again. Weston's boots were resubmitted for testing and tiny traces of blood were found on the boots. The blood was a match to Vikki Thompson. In 2009 Weston was arrested again and faced another trial, and this time he was found guilty. The first time that the double jeopardy legislation was used to secure a conviction.
