This webinar explores the Dorset MCIT’s exceptional investigation into a 2024 Bournemouth beach murder which was a Category A+ cold‑start case that demanded rapid identification of a dangerous unknown offender.

Despite no forensic link and missing weapon or clothing, the team built a compelling case through exhaustive CCTV analysis, digital evidence, and extensive witness tracing to secure a conviction.
