Summary

When British expat Christine Robinson was murdered at a lodge in South Africa her niece Lehanne was determined to hunt the killer down. Her health prevented her from leaving the UK so Lehanne turned to Facebook. She found the suspect created a fake profile set a honeytrap and had a romantic online relationship with her Auntie's killer which led police straight to his door.

Review

Jack Seale

More than one Briton per week is murdered overseas, and it can be terribly difficult for loved ones to obtain justice or answers. That was sadly the case in 2014 when Christine Robinson was killed in South Africa — but when the chief suspect went to ground in Zimbabwe, a conviction looked impossible. That was until Robinson’s niece Lehanne, confined to the UK by illness, took to the internet, relentlessly following digital clues to find, and then ensnare, her man.

An extraordinary story is given a workmanlike, feature-length retelling in this documentary.
