00:00A carer calls police, concerned about a pensioner.
00:04It appears that the lady is unresponsive.
00:06They were concerned that the circumstances weren't quite right.
00:11The woman's dog is found alone and frightened.
00:15This has been ransacked.
00:16So who's done that?
00:19Sometimes things are not obvious to see at face value.
00:22How much does he pay you?
00:23It was a murder on the loose in a very quiet village where everybody knew each other.
00:29How can the crime scene tell us the story as to what's happened?
00:32There's someone in the car, Anne!
00:33We need to find out who they are.
00:35We need to catch that killer at that crime scene.
00:37Police! Open the door!
00:59When it arrived, there were three police forensic guns.
01:15There was one on the side street here, one just off the pavement here, and then one on
01:20the driveway there.
01:21So it's obvious that there's a very serious incident that happened in the street.
01:25In the quiet village of Fleckney, a large police presence outside the pensioner's home
01:29quickly attracts attention.
01:32Police weren't releasing any information initially.
01:34I came out here and spoke to people in the street.
01:37People were frightened and scared.
01:38There was no confirmation of the victim, but people obviously knew who the neighbour was.
01:43The resident is 72-year-old Jane Hinges.
01:47We went out there to chat to the residents and the locals, and we got the picture that
01:52she was a popular figure who lived on her own with her beloved greyhound dog, Paddy.
01:58She had had a fall recently, and this meant that people in the village helped walk the
02:02dog, Paddy, when it was obviously too much for her.
02:06I was due to go over about 10 o'clock on the Sunday just for a chat and pick Paddy up,
02:12and I was running late, as always, and she hadn't called me, and I thought that was really
02:17weird.
02:18So I tried calling her on the way.
02:20Didn't answer, just went straight to Anne's phone.
02:23Kept trying, nothing.
02:25So just carried on over, literally pulled into the top end of her clothes, and just
02:31saw loads of police cars and forensics.
02:34There was a lady just standing there with Paddy on lead.
02:39That kind of told me all I needed to know.
02:43One of the villagers that I knew had come up to me and was like, oh, you know, it's
02:47probably just, like, natural and all that, and I was just like, it's not, it's not, I
02:52know it's not.
02:53The amount of police that were there was quite intimidating.
02:58You don't get forensics there for just the natural cause.
03:04Inside the bungalow, CSIs are looking for answers.
03:08The carers have formally identified the woman as Jane, but it's not yet clear how she died.
03:14It's very difficult to determine the cause of death because there's no obvious signs.
03:17No traumatic injuries are obvious.
03:19There's no bruising around her neck that she would associate with strangulation.
03:23She doesn't have any head injuries.
03:24You have to keep an open mind.
03:25Until we know definitively, we work with a worst case scenario.
03:29We don't know the cause of death.
03:31That means that the search of the crime scene is very open.
03:35We're not really sure what we're looking for within that crime scene.
03:39A pathologist is called to the scene.
03:41There is evidence of a serious sexual assault.
03:44The body itself can be treated as a crime scene.
03:48There was blood around the nose.
03:50There were grazes on her cheek.
03:53There were bruises on her arms, which indicated grip marks.
03:59These injuries suggest that there was a struggle and the victim was pinned down or held down.
04:05If someone is held down, you know, the grip marks will be very distinct and it would mean
04:13the person had been held down for quite some time.
04:17This is a vulnerable lady.
04:19There were defence injuries on her hands and her arms.
04:22This tended to suggest that she may have put up a struggle.
04:25That is a major crime scene.
04:28Jane also appears to have been burgled.
04:30Her phone, handbag and some jewellery are missing.
04:34Her neck was a crucifix.
04:36It's been ripped off violently because it's got bruising on her neck.
04:40It was a violent and heartless attack.
04:42Who's done this?
04:44Homicide detectives, one of the first things they will do will be trying to, you know,
04:47work out what is the connection between the victim and the potential suspect pool.
04:51If it's a robbery homicide, they might think that that could actually be a stranger,
04:55somebody who opportunistically broke into a property.
04:58So who do they know in the local community who might be committing robberies?
05:03Similarly, who are their known sexual predators?
05:05What's their MO?
05:07Has one of the suspects got a preference for attacking elderly women and sexually assaulting them?
05:12Officers go door to door.
05:14Jane's neighbours didn't see or hear anything suspicious.
05:18The team are relying on forensics to lead them to her attacker.
05:22There's some evidence that has to be collected quickly
05:26so that you can be able to get the most reliable results.
05:32There could be DNA or some trace elements which could have been left on the body.
05:39It's very easy for this to get lost or to get contaminated as the body is being transferred.
05:47And yet it could be the most crucial evidence.
05:52When the body has been moved from the bed,
05:54there is a small silver tongue bar found towards the lower part of her body.
05:59It was not hers. She didn't have any piercings.
06:02If it's not the victim's, it's a foreign item within that crime scene.
06:06It indicates that someone's been really close and intimate with that victim before they've died.
06:11This may well be the offenders.
06:13We're not sure whether the sexual assault in the first instance was that the primary motivation
06:18or was it really the robbery and then he decided to enact a sexual attack after that.
06:23In any event, that combination is fairly unusual.
06:26It's possible that he saw her as a vulnerable person that he could control.
06:31The tongue bar is fast-tracked for DNA testing as CSIs look at how Jane's attacker got in.
06:37Is it one offender? Is it more than one offender?
06:40Have they come in through the door? Have they climbed in through a window?
06:43Is there any damage?
06:44Has anything been dropped within that scene or left that may link back to an offender?
06:50CSIs find no signs of forced entry.
06:53Then you're asking yourself the question, did the victim know the suspect?
06:58As Jane's remains are taken from the scene, community fears intensify.
07:03What scared the community was the fact that who would do such a thing?
07:06Jane was a 72-year-old woman who wouldn't harm a fly.
07:11If they were capable of doing this, what else were they capable of doing?
07:14The police are under immense amounts of pressure.
07:16The police would have been concerned that this was a dangerous offender
07:20that might go on to commit further similar attacks.
07:23Speed was of the essence in apprehending him.
07:28POLICE RADIO CHATTER
07:33Police have launched a murder inquiry
07:35after an elderly woman was found dead at her home in Fleckney.
07:39Detectives say there were signs of a disturbance in the property
07:42and forensic searches are continuing there.
07:45Police in Leicestershire are investigating the suspicious death of a pensioner.
07:5072-year-old Jane Hinges appears to have been sexually assaulted in her bed.
07:54After finding no signs of a break-in, police suspect she knew her attacker.
08:00In most cases, women are killed by their intimate partner,
08:02or their former or current partner or lover.
08:05In just 7% of cases, the victim is estranged to the offender.
08:10The team's strongest lead so far is a tongue bar recovered from the scene
08:15they suspect belongs to Jane's attacker.
08:18We drip water onto the end of the swab.
08:20It's important to work out the best place to get the DNA.
08:23Now, the DNA's going to be all over this tongue bar,
08:25so I'm going to hold it right at the tip with some freshly cleaned gloves.
08:30And then I'm going to take some swabs from all around this tongue bar
08:34and all of the surfaces around it.
08:39As they wait for the results, CSIs continue to search for evidence at the scene,
08:43while detectives take a closer look at who was in Jane's life.
08:47When we look at the victim, so we create victimologies.
08:50So what I have is what's association with other people.
08:54Jane's friends and neighbours tell the police she was a private person.
08:59She had no close family relatives, she lived on her own.
09:01Her life was her dog. She loved her dog.
09:04She rescued Paddy from a rescue centre.
09:07He was very spoilt.
09:10I worked for a doggy daycare company,
09:13and because she'd fell over recently and she was struggling to walk Paddy,
09:16I was the one that picked him up and dropped him off every night.
09:19That led then into, can you just come in and do this?
09:22So I helped her out in other ways like that.
09:26A divorcee, Jane had lived in the Netherlands before moving back to Fleckney
09:30to care for her parents during their final years.
09:34Jane was a lovely, caring lady.
09:38Took pride in her appearance, always had her hair done.
09:43She had some close friends that would take her to the hairdressers and take her shopping.
09:48Literally every week and do those things for her.
09:50And then she'd got other friends that were a bit further away,
09:53that would go to the church with her or visit her in hospital,
09:56or go round and have fish and chips with her.
09:58I think she was happy.
09:59She was a well-loved character in the village.
10:02She gave money to charity, even though she didn't have a lot of money to spend on herself.
10:09Detectives discover that Jane was hospitalised three months ago
10:13after falling and breaking her ribs.
10:16She's very limited in mobility.
10:18It may well be a target approach based upon her vulnerability.
10:21So now we have to focus on that.
10:24After she'd come out of hospital after the fall,
10:26she needed a lot more help with things around the house
10:29and even just the little jobs that she couldn't do.
10:33She'd got loads of walking aids and just things like that.
10:37So even making a cup of tea was a bit of hard work for her.
10:42So she probably did trust people a bit more to help her
10:46because she had no choice.
10:48Had the suspect previously worked or did some work around the house,
10:53or is there someone who lives nearby that could potentially do this kind of crime?
10:57Because most burglars are local.
11:01Flickney is about nine miles south of Leicester.
11:03It's a very tight community.
11:05It's the place where everybody knows each other, but in a nice way.
11:10It has a primary school, it has a shop, a couple of pubs, a village hall,
11:14which is often quite full of people with different community groups meeting.
11:18Part of the reason that everybody was so shocked
11:20was that this sort of thing just does not happen there.
11:23We look at all the intelligence around the community that we can utilise,
11:27especially through the Safer Neighbourhoods teams
11:29because they have a finger on the pulse.
11:31When they're in the local communities, they know exactly what's going on.
11:33Who could pretend she could have done this.
11:35As well as finding who attacked Jane,
11:38the team still needs to determine how she died.
11:41As they await the post-mortem results,
11:43CSI's look for clues in Jane's bedroom.
11:46Not being able to find a cause of death can be quite frustrating
11:50has someone actually murdered that person.
11:52If we can determine the cause of death,
11:54it's then possible for us to then either find a weapon
11:58or try and link an offender to the crime.
12:01The team investigating then thought that she was actually murdered on the bed itself.
12:05Everything indicated that everything happened there.
12:09The deceased was found covered with a duvet, her face was covered.
12:12It's really important to then work out, has this contributed to her death?
12:16Has the victim been smothered either with a duvet or with a pillow?
12:20It's really important for the bedclothes and the pillows to be examined
12:24and recovered for any potential trace evidence on them.
12:28Further examination of Jane's bed
12:30leads the team to believe Jane's attacker is careless.
12:34There was a baseball cap that was found behind the headboard of the bed.
12:38This lady isn't the type of lady that will wear a baseball cap,
12:41so why is there a baseball cap?
12:43Maybe it's been dropped by a relative,
12:45maybe it's been there for a considerable period of time,
12:47but also maybe that could have belonged to the offender.
12:51This then becomes quite a significant find.
12:54Potentially, the victim has been sexually assaulted on the bed
12:57and the baseball cap has been either thrown or fallen off behind the headboard.
13:02It's a really good source of DNA that would be sent to the lab
13:05for urgent DNA examination.
13:08You can't say when it's been placed there
13:10or how long it's been in that property,
13:11but what you can say is who's brought it in there
13:14or who hasn't brought it in there.
13:16It had distinctive markings on it and it was an unusual colour.
13:20Has anyone been seen in the area on CCTV wearing this baseball cap?
13:24If so, who was that person?
13:27None of Jane's friends or helpers recognised the cap.
13:31It's sent for DNA testing.
13:36I'm just checking to see if there's any blood or any hairs
13:38within the baseball cap.
13:40Most hairs that you find inside a baseball cap are actually broken hairs,
13:44so they don't normally contain a root.
13:46It's the actual root where the DNA is mainly held.
13:49You can get DNA from hair shafts,
13:51but it's significantly reduced and a lot more difficult.
13:54If there's no hairs, the best place you've got to look for DNA now
13:57is around the sweatband.
14:00The best way to examine this is to use mini-tapes,
14:02and instead of swabbing the sticky surface,
14:05it actually just takes off the DNA.
14:08Forensic scientists would then extract the DNA
14:11from the sticky side of that tape.
14:14Given the seriousness of the offence and given that the suspect was at large,
14:17the police were having to make some very important decisions early on.
14:20We call these fast-track decisions.
14:22The decision to fast-track this evidence was a really crucial one.
14:26Just 36 hours after Jane was found,
14:29forensic scientists have a result.
14:32The tongue bar and baseball cap have returned the same male DNA profile.
14:37It's uploaded on the database, and there's a match.
14:40To 25-year-old Craig Kehoe.
14:46Kehoe had previous convictions for theft and burglary,
14:50and among those, he had burgled the sports centre in Fleckley Village,
14:55but also he had burgled his own parents' house.
14:59The suspect is careless and reckless.
15:02Total disregard for any sort of respect for anyone at all.
15:05Some young men start to value violence
15:08as a way of resolving their difficulties,
15:10and in fact, sometimes their insecurities.
15:12There's a lot of really good research now that's looking at that connection,
15:16and they're suggesting that this very fragile male psyche or ego
15:20that's been damaged is part of the explanation,
15:24but that you've got to then have been socialised to value violence.
15:28Craig Kehoe is found to have had a difficult upbringing
15:30and is a known drug user.
15:32He's currently unemployed and has no fixed address.
15:36The police knew he was a local man and had lived in the village,
15:39but they weren't sure where he was at the moment,
15:41but they knew that they had to arrest him as soon as they could.
15:44From a forensic perspective, the sooner we can arrest somebody
15:47and take some samples from them,
15:50the more chance we have of recovering evidence on them or in their property.
15:55We need to get hold of Mateo's opportunity before he disappears.
15:59He's located to a caravan just two streets away from Jane's home.
16:04Is someone in the caravan?
16:06Police!
16:08Open the door!
16:10Someone with a dark hair in there.
16:13Police, open the door!
16:15It's almost quite exciting from a crime scene manager's point of view
16:18to know that the police are out trying to find somebody
16:21on the evidence that you found in that scene.
16:23Right, don't move, mate. What's your name?
16:26Craig, stay there.
16:28Come out. Craig.
16:31Right, hands behind the back.
16:33He's very calm. There's no kicking and fussing.
16:37Right, how long have you got? 6.7. I've got Craig.
16:41There's no fight. He's very calm,
16:43especially when he's told about he's been arrested for murder.
16:45You don't have to say anything, mate.
16:47It's good on me. It's worth watching.
16:48Some people should let you lie on the court.
16:49You need to do something good in that case.
16:51Do you understand everything I've said to you?
16:54Time of arrest, 12.36 hours.
16:56It's interesting to see his reaction, or lack of reaction.
17:00He's very nonchalant about it.
17:03Just a very, very odd behaviour.
17:05He certainly doesn't appear to be alarmed or distressed or disturbed.
17:09Perhaps he even felt that his arrest was inevitable.
17:13Detectives are questioning a 25-year-old man on suspicion of murder.
17:17He was arrested at an address in the village
17:21just before one this afternoon.
17:23The man was taken to an unnamed police station in Leicestershire.
17:26Craig Keogh is interviewed under caution.
17:29Have you got any piercings?
17:31I'm probably going to piss.
17:33You're going to piss? OK.
17:35Anywhere else? Yeah, I'm tongue-tied.
17:37You're tongue?
17:39Police ask if he knew Jane.
17:42I was walking through the village and I saw this lady
17:47and I shot her in the leg, broke, and then I helped her
17:51and then I carried it to her house with her.
17:53Keogh did walk her dog on a couple of occasions.
17:56This is how he became introduced to Jane Hinges.
18:01He would realise the situation that she was in,
18:02that she was a 72-year-old woman that lived on her own.
18:06It could be someone being kind, but supported by everything else.
18:10The tongue stud, the hat, the previous history of burglary.
18:15It's all red flags.
18:16He's got knowledge of her habits, knowledge of her vulnerabilities
18:19and knowledge of the layout of the property.
18:21So he would know where her jewellery's kept,
18:24what jewellery she has, if there's any cash in any locations.
18:28When was the last time you saw her then?
18:31The last time I saw her was Sunday night.
18:36Like, what time would that have been?
18:40I got there about half ten.
18:42You got there at half ten? Yeah.
18:43During the interview, he admits being inside the property
18:46on the night of the murder.
18:47Now you can focus your priorities,
18:48you can focus your resources on the suspect.
18:51You know the friends you're relating to him from the tongue stud.
18:54What's the intelligence profile? What do we know about him?
18:57So if we take from half ten at night then,
19:00through to when you left at 11. Yeah.
19:02Tell me exactly in detail what happened.
19:05Well, we were watching a little film on the TV.
19:09Then she asked me to tell the story to her at the end.
19:18Yeah, very shocked.
19:19All he's doing is creating a narrative for himself,
19:21he's creating a storyline for himself,
19:23one that he'd think he could believe himself
19:26and then hopefully someone else will believe him.
19:28That's calculated.
19:30Just tell me exactly what she said to you about having sex.
19:34She was like...
19:37She just said,
19:38Craig, will you have sex with me?
19:41Yeah.
19:43The first time it started off was about a month ago
19:47when I was in the house and she just came into the bedroom naked.
19:53And she was like, Craig, come and do it with me and I'll pay you.
19:59How much does she pay you?
20:00She paid me £200.
20:02£200.
20:05And it happened a month ago, the first time.
20:08And then she asked me to come back a month later.
20:16And then it happened again.
20:18I think it's pushed it so far that it's happened several times now.
20:21If it was just a one-off, then they wouldn't believe me.
20:23But if it happened several times, yeah, they might believe me.
20:26Police is convinced that this offender has committed this crime,
20:31but it still needs to be proved beyond reasonable doubt
20:33so that it can stand up in court,
20:36so a jury can understand what's happened,
20:39particularly if they don't have an exact cause of death.
20:42In forensic terms,
20:44it's quite difficult for us to prove or disprove what's happened
20:47because he's admitted being in the house
20:49and that he'd had consensual sex with the victim.
20:53He's kind of negated the fact that we might find things there.
20:57The investigation team have got to work fast
21:00because they need to reassure the community
21:02that they've got the right person.
21:04So what's their story?
21:05And then you tear their story apart.
21:14Tell me exactly in detail what happened.
21:17Well, we were watching a little film on the TV
21:21and then she asked me to have sex with her at the end.
21:26After being arrested on suspicion of raping and murdering
21:29pensioner Jane Hinges,
21:3125-year-old Craig Keogh has made a shocking admission.
21:35She was like, I'll pay you more this time.
21:38I was like, I don't think anything of it.
21:43And that felt very, very bad.
21:47And she just felt so...
21:51And then I left her.
21:53He claims Jane has been paying him for sex
21:55but insists he didn't kill her.
21:58One of the main reasons why suspects will do that
22:00is because they might know that their DNA will be found.
22:03So if I say, well, yes, of course I was there,
22:05then they're not implicating themselves in the crime
22:08and they're actually providing themselves
22:09with a good reason for being there.
22:12There is a minor excuse there now.
22:13It could add an element of doubt there.
22:15With Jane's cause of death unknown,
22:17police don't yet have grounds to charge Keogh with her murder.
22:21The perfect world is you have a motive
22:23and you have a cause of death.
22:24There is no perfect world.
22:26So you go in with the information you have
22:29and you work with that.
22:30As an SIO, you would look at everything.
22:32If he's saying he's had some sort of sexual relationship,
22:35OK, where's the evidence to support that?
22:38Hours after arresting Keogh,
22:40the team receives the initial results of the post-mortem.
22:43There can be some bruising that can be associated
22:47with consensual sex, but in sexual assault,
22:50there would be significant bruising
22:53and damage that will be found.
22:57The pathologist finds Jane's injuries
22:59make consensual sex implausible,
23:01though they can't be definitive.
23:03The cause of death is still unknown.
23:06We check if there's any physical evidence
23:10that points towards any illness, for example,
23:14or any diseases that the victim could have had
23:17which could have led them to die.
23:20Also any signs of poisoning as well.
23:23And then if that is not there,
23:26then the pathologist then needs to look
23:29for evidence of smothering.
23:32The pathologist is able to determine
23:34that Jane died between 1.20 and 2.30am on Sunday morning.
23:41When was the last time you saw her then?
23:44The last time I saw her was...
23:47Sunday night.
23:49What time would that have been?
23:52I got there for about half ten.
23:54Keogh claims to have stayed at Jane's for half an hour,
23:57leaving at 11pm.
24:00It's an ever-evolving scene.
24:03There may be other evidence that may be able
24:05to narrow down the time scales,
24:07in which case you might be able to narrow down
24:09when that DNA's been placed there.
24:12The suspect said that he'd gone there to watch a movie.
24:15Is there something to watch a movie on?
24:17Is there a digibox or is there a video recorder
24:21or a DVD player or something?
24:23Is there evidence that there is a movie that's been played?
24:27If so, does that fit with his story?
24:29Jane's digibox is recovered.
24:32There's no record of a film being watched
24:34on the night she died.
24:37It's not definitive, however, it's another piece.
24:41It's circumstantial evidence and what you're doing
24:43is adding that piece to everything else that's going on
24:46and you bring the circumstantial evidence together.
24:48We need to identify his movements beforehand.
24:50Where had he been?
24:51So do we have any CCTV footage of him?
24:53Did he use his card anywhere?
24:55Following the financial trail,
24:57Craig Keogh is located in a pub on Saturday night
25:00between nine and closing time,
25:03just five miles away from Jane's home.
25:05Keogh was caught on CCTV at a pub in Oadby
25:09at the time that he suggested that he was watching a film
25:11at Jane's house.
25:13Detectives immediately notice
25:15Keogh's distinctive baseball cap.
25:19Now, that is significant.
25:20It's the same cap that was discovered
25:23and recovered from Jane's house.
25:26So he's gone from the pub to the crime scene.
25:31CCTV shows he was very drunk,
25:34may have taken on things.
25:36He seemed to be acting in a very strange manner,
25:38acting erratically.
25:40He had been trying to sell people cocaine
25:42and I think he even tried to sell
25:43a couple of the pub managers some of the cocaine as well.
25:47The connection between drugs
25:48and violent offending is complex.
25:50It's never just the drug has caused it,
25:52obviously, because there's lots of people
25:54taking all sorts of drugs all the time
25:55and don't commit crimes,
25:56but it is implicated in some offenses
25:58and certainly cocaine is one of the drugs
26:01where there's the most robust evidence
26:03that there can be a connection in some instances,
26:05but it's complicated.
26:07There's been some great research done in the United States
26:09which shows that if you weren't a violent offender
26:11before you started taking cocaine,
26:13that you're not likely to suddenly become a violent offender
26:16but if you've got some violent history prior,
26:19that the ingestion of cocaine can kind of escalate
26:22your involvement in violent crimes subsequently.
26:25Witnesses tell police Keogh became increasingly aggressive
26:29and was overheard loudly complaining.
26:31He's indicated that the night was boring.
26:34He wanted something else to do.
26:35He apparently had plans with a couple of girls
26:38that he was gonna go out with.
26:39He may have thought that he was gonna have
26:41some sort of sexual encounter with them,
26:42but that didn't happen.
26:44After leaving the pub,
26:45Keogh is seen vandalizing cars and gardens,
26:48kicking a wall and throwing himself into a bush.
26:52At 1.10 a.m., CCTV captures him
26:55being dropped off home alone.
26:57The suspect got a cab back to his caravan.
27:00Instead of going home,
27:02decided to walk away and walk towards Jane's house.
27:09It was in the middle of the night.
27:10That's her last moments.
27:13And the fear is heartbreaking.
27:18That particular night,
27:19we just had a really long conversation.
27:21It must have been about an hour on the phone,
27:23telling me more about her life and everything.
27:25She was telling me where she worked abroad
27:27and things like that, and she was a nanny.
27:29So, yeah, it was just,
27:31we had a really nice conversation that night.
27:34But mainly it talked about Paddy.
27:36She was like, if anything happens to me,
27:37will you have Paddy?
27:38And I was like, of course I'll have Paddy,
27:39but you're not going anywhere.
27:41Yeah, you've had a fall, you're all right,
27:43but you're getting better.
27:45But then it just gets taken away.
27:50During that conversation and that call,
27:52at no point did she mention the suspect coming around.
27:56The next CCTV captures Keogh coming home,
27:59only to turn around and head back towards Jane's home.
28:03Police believe Keogh may have returned
28:05to rape Jane for a second time.
28:10That really massively shocked me.
28:12Like, I can't, what goes through someone's head to do that?
28:18It's control, isn't it?
28:19That's what it is, power.
28:22It's unusual the suspect returned
28:24after his initial assault.
28:26To carry out that kind of attack on a female victim
28:29who is clearly more vulnerable
28:32does say something about his mindset,
28:34perhaps because they haven't gotten control
28:35in other aspects of their lives.
28:39The team is even more determined to get justice for Jane.
28:43After ruling out all other possibilities,
28:46the pathologist advises there is only one
28:49possible explanation for how she died.
28:53They had a very high index of suspicion
28:56which pointed towards the victim being smothered.
29:02It takes about four minutes of lack of oxygen
29:06to cause lethal brain damage.
29:09It's disturbing and quite shocking.
29:13Jane's injuries indicate she was suffocated
29:16with a soft object, leaving no apparent marks,
29:20making it impossible for the pathologist to be sure.
29:23The team suspect she was killed with her duvet or pillow.
29:29Part of the role as a crime scene manager
29:31is to put yourself in the mindset of a killer.
29:34If you're gonna kill somebody or smother somebody a pillow,
29:37how would you hold the pillow?
29:38Where would you put your hands?
29:40They're going to leave DNA
29:42as well as potential fingerprints.
29:44Forensic scientists can potentially interpret
29:46that those areas have been used
29:48to hold a pillowcase really tightly,
29:50potentially over someone's face.
29:53But to prove their theory,
29:55first, the team needs to find a way
29:57to recover any trace evidence from Jane's bed linen.
30:01Fabrics are virtually impossible to get fingerprints on
30:04using traditional methods.
30:06Because of the makeup of the fabric
30:07and the fact that it's kind of absorbent,
30:09it's impossible to develop rich detail.
30:1224 hours into his detention,
30:15the team are running out of time to question Keogh.
30:18The custody clock is always ticking.
30:19You have got a ticking time bomb to some extent.
30:22It's a lot of pressure.
30:24I think there's always a potential
30:25with somebody that's committed
30:26that kind of a violent offence against an acquaintance
30:29that they could go on to do it again.
30:31The team apply for an extension.
30:33You've got to work out what evidence do you have?
30:37You can't get everything.
30:38You can't get everything.
30:39What can you get in order to bring a charge?
30:41You've got to get what evidence you can quickly
30:43so that you can work on the rest of the forensics
30:46and other inquiries in slower time.
30:49Detectives have been given more time
30:51to continue questioning a man on suspicion of murder.
30:55The superintendent's granted permission
30:57for him to continue to remain in custody
31:00for a further 12 hours.
31:02Further forensic examinations, meanwhile,
31:04have been taking place.
31:06With just 12 hours to charge Keogh,
31:09the team focuses on linking him to the burglary
31:12and Jane's stolen belongings.
31:15After being seen heading towards Jane's house
31:17in the early hours of Sunday,
31:19he's captured again later that morning.
31:22At 9.30 a.m., he leaves home with a bin bag.
31:26It's really important for us to try and ascertain
31:28what might be in that bin bag.
31:30Where was he taking the bin bag?
31:32The team appeals to the community
31:34to check their gardens for any suspicious items.
31:37You want to know where is her jewellery?
31:40Also, her phone is missing as well.
31:42So where is her phone?
31:44The incident room receives a tip-off.
31:47Information is brought to the police's attention
31:50that a mobile phone has been dumped in a nearby drain.
31:54It's really important to recover this phone
31:56as quickly as possible because if it's in a drain,
31:59it's probably likely to get wet
32:00and can be covered in quite a lot of gunk and mess.
32:04So the chances of getting DNA and fingerprints on that
32:07is dramatically reduced.
32:09But there still may be information
32:10that's obtainable from the SIM card.
32:12Any photographs or text messages or phone calls
32:16are still recorded on that SIM card.
32:18The phone is fast-tracked for testing
32:20and confirmed as belonging to Jane.
32:24But to link Keogh to the crime scene,
32:26the team still needs to locate Jane's stolen jewellery,
32:29valued at over £1,000.
32:32Where would they go to dispose of the jewellery?
32:35They're not going to dump it
32:36because the whole point of doing a burglary
32:37is to take property and sell it.
32:40So we target the pawn shop, speak to them,
32:42put photographs of the types of jewellery out there,
32:45and work in partnership with them
32:46to identify who's brought that jewellery in.
32:49Keogh is traced to Leicester,
32:51where he buys a new tongue bar
32:53before calling in at a pawnbroker.
32:55Officers recover jewellery Keogh pawned for £105.
33:00It matches the description of Jane's stolen jewellery.
33:04You're trying to potentially link it back to the victim.
33:07You need to think about how you're going to swab it
33:11for victim's DNA,
33:12so the person that used to wear the crucifix.
33:15The area that's important to swab on this,
33:18it will be around the chain area
33:20because that's where it's going to be rubbing
33:21against somebody's neck,
33:23which is actually quite difficult to do
33:24because it's a really intricate chain.
33:29Swabs from the crucifix
33:31return a one-in-one billion match to Craig Keogh.
33:38Why would a 25-year-old want to do that
33:42to a 72-year-old woman?
33:46How can you do that?
33:49It's just wrong.
33:53After pawning Jane's jewellery,
33:55Keogh is traced to a bar
33:56where he buys his friend's drinks
33:58and is seen joking around.
34:01What it tells us about him,
34:02he just doesn't care.
34:04He just didn't care about his victims,
34:05doesn't care about his actions.
34:07He doesn't care about the consequences of what he's done.
34:10He's just a callous killer.
34:12The Crown Prosecution Service authorised police
34:15to charge Keogh with burglary,
34:17Jane's rape and murder.
34:20With smothering found to be the most likely cause of death,
34:23but not definitive,
34:25the team still has work to do.
34:27What you don't want is for him to turn around
34:29and in some sort of defence,
34:31during a trial, say,
34:33actually she died of natural causes.
34:36And so we have to prove
34:38that actually she was unlawfully killed.
34:41There's always that fear the jury will believe him.
34:43The team are convinced that Jane's pillows
34:45hold the answer to how she died.
34:48But with traditional forensic methods ineffective,
34:51they need to find a way to get to the evidence.
34:54It's so key to basically maximise
34:56what resources you have,
34:57but you have to be careful
34:58because you don't have a finite number.
35:00So you have to be smart
35:02the way you apply your resources.
35:05With new technology,
35:06not just within the UK, but overseas,
35:08we've gone leaps and bounds to the days
35:09when I first looked at these kind of murders
35:11to what we can do now.
35:12Sometimes a crime scene manager
35:14has to think outside the box a little bit.
35:16There is a method.
35:17It's a non-destructive technique.
35:19So DNA can still be recovered.
35:22The killer in this case grossly underestimated
35:26the power of forensic science.
35:29The killer in this case grossly underestimated
35:31the power of forensic science.
35:35Police investigating the death of pensioner Jane Hinges
35:39have charged Kray Keogh with her rape and murder.
35:43DNA has linked Keogh to the crime scene,
35:45but as the trial approaches,
35:47they still need to prove their theory
35:49that he smothered Jane.
35:51Convinced one of her pillows is the murder weapon,
35:54the team has identified an innovative forensic technique
35:58that could finally reveal vital evidence.
36:02Vacuum metal deposition is one of the few techniques
36:05that can actually develop finger marks on fabrics.
36:08VMD technology is a coating process.
36:12It's quite often used in the commercial world
36:14for something as simple as coating greetings cards
36:18or the baubles of a Christmas decoration.
36:21We're heating up metals,
36:22and those metals are evaporating
36:25and then depositing on the residues
36:27that we leave from our fingerprints
36:29on the surface of the evidence.
36:31Using VMD develops 15% more fingerprints
36:34than any other method available.
36:37Evidence is placed in a vacuum chamber
36:39and tiny amounts of metals such as gold and zinc
36:41are heated and vaporized.
36:44The vape attaches to evidence revealing
36:47where it's been handled in a reversed image.
36:50Everybody leaves a trace on items
36:52that they've handled or touched,
36:54and these are made up of different things.
36:57So they are amino acids, fats or fat lipids, and water.
37:03We're not just looking for finger marks.
37:05We're just looking for the presence
37:06of where somebody's touched an item.
37:08And that's important when you're extracting
37:10or swabbing for DNA.
37:12Jane's pillowcases are sent to a team of experts.
37:16So we're simulating the attack.
37:18We're gonna process this pillowcase in the VMD
37:22to identify the areas of touch.
37:24VMD is unique in the way that it can be used
37:27on all types of evidence.
37:30So whether it be paper, fabrics, metals.
37:35So when we're talking about metals,
37:37knife crime is a big problem.
37:39So getting fingerprints off of knives,
37:42even when they've been washed
37:44and things like fired ammunition,
37:46your fingerprints are still there.
37:48But until now, no one has attempted to use VMD
37:52to identify the presence of a victim
37:54and a perpetrator on a pillowcase used in a smothering.
37:57Sometimes you have to try things
38:00that you've never tried before
38:01and kind of try something like that.
38:03It's really revolutionary.
38:05We've explored and exhausted every other technique.
38:08Let's try this and see if it works.
38:12We've reached the vacuum level required.
38:14Now what we're going to do
38:15is to start the heating of the gold.
38:19What's happening is that the gold gets absorbed
38:22into those biological residues,
38:25so the sweat that we've left behind.
38:28Experts use gold as it readily sticks to fats
38:31and residues left behind by fingerprints.
38:34The results from Jane's pillowcases are chilling.
38:38There are visible fingerprints
38:40and visible areas of rich detail
38:42on the edge of this pillowcase.
38:45What we're seeing is the grab impressions
38:47of where the hands were placed
38:50to place the pillow over the person's face.
38:54In the center, there's also a saliva mark,
38:57potentially from a victim's face.
39:01That was not a natural occurring event.
39:05With the fingerprints now revealed,
39:07the pillowcase is sent for targeted DNA testing.
39:11The beauty of VMD has no detrimental effect
39:15on the presence of DNA on the surface.
39:19Using the chemical enhancement
39:21identifies particular areas of importance
39:24instead of having to examine the whole pillowcase.
39:27So the areas that could be DNA swapped
39:29would be these areas on both sides
39:31where it's been grabbed,
39:33and then also the area in the center
39:34where it's been placed over someone's nose and mouth.
39:37You can get sweat from the nose area
39:39and then obviously saliva from the mouth.
39:42The DNA profile of the saliva area came back as a victim.
39:46The DNA profile towards the edge of the pillow
39:48where it looked like it had been grabbed
39:50came back as the suspect.
39:53This is the murder weapon.
40:00I went to the trial every day.
40:01I wanted someone to represent her, be there for her.
40:05Obviously, her friends are older
40:10and didn't want to go through that and endure that.
40:16And it was hard, like, that very first day when he walked in,
40:20like, being that close to him,
40:22because you automatically think they're monsters,
40:24like, they're going to look like a monster,
40:26but he just looked like a young kid.
40:28But then you think about what he's done.
40:30It was horrific for them to sit through
40:33and listen to what Keogh had had subjected Jean to,
40:36through what must have been a terrifying ordeal for him.
40:39Despite the evidence recovered from Jean's pillowcase,
40:43Keogh pleads not guilty.
40:45This really challenged me for a bit.
40:46Why?
40:47Like, with all the amount of evidence they've got on him,
40:51firstly, how can he plead not guilty?
40:54And then to just sit there and, like,
40:57he not acknowledge what he's done
40:59or even show remorse for it or any emotion.
41:03The only time it was when he sort of cried
41:05and spoke to his mum, that was it.
41:08Given that there's such compelling evidence against him,
41:11it does seem remarkable that he's sticking to the story
41:13that it wasn't him.
41:14He's trying to get away with a serious, violent crime.
41:17And some offenders will never admit it.
41:19You know, they will never say they did it,
41:20sometimes because they just don't want
41:22their families to know.
41:23Maybe in his mind, the jury will believe him,
41:26because he's pushed enough doubts in there.
41:28The jury can see that, though.
41:31The jury can see, and they can see through people lying.
41:34The offender in this case admitted he was at the scene,
41:37but forensically, we're able to use incredible techniques
41:40to prove exactly what's happened.
41:43The jury retires.
41:45It takes only five hours for them to return their verdict.
41:49I was told not to show any emotion, which is really hard.
41:53Keogh was led into the dark and was just deadpan.
41:58A man's been jailed for life for raping and murdering
42:02pensioner Jane Hinges.
42:03Sentencing him, Mr Justice Jeremy Baker told Keogh
42:08his actions after the crime were callous in the extreme,
42:12and he'd shown no remorse.
42:14Keogh is sentenced to a minimum of 32 years
42:17for Jane's murder and two counts of rape.
42:21I've been in jail for more than 30 years,
42:22and I have attended lots of murder trials,
42:26and beaten murder scenes, and this one
42:28does stick out in my mind.
42:29Such a shocking and brutal murder
42:33committed against a vulnerable and defenseless
42:3672-year-old woman in the sanctity of her own house
42:40where she thought she would be safe.
42:41We won't really know the truth behind the motive,
42:44but a judge believed that he committed the murder
42:48in order to hide and cover up the burglary and the rape.
42:52It often revolves around control.
42:54There's a body of research that says,
42:56actually, there's things in society,
42:57in the very fabric of society, that
42:59kind of allow men's negative perceptions of females
43:03to be perpetuated.
43:05Men that commit these serious sexual acts of violence,
43:08they obviously take this to the extreme,
43:10but it almost kind of reinforces their views
43:13that men are powerful and in control
43:15and that women should be in some way subordinate.
43:25To start off with, it was hard because my phone was quiet.
43:32She'd call me probably 10, 20 times a day,
43:37and someone took that away for nothing.
43:41As promised to Jane, Michelle looked after her beloved Paddy.
43:46When Paddy came to live with us, the first few weeks,
43:49he was very nervy, loud noises, big bangs,
43:53who only knows what he experienced that night.
43:57But eventually, he became one of my pack,
43:59and, yeah, lived out the rest of his life.
44:04Jane was beloved by her friends and neighbours.
44:07Her death was a huge loss.
44:09The community really came together.
44:11They set up an online appeal to raise money
44:13to pay for Jane's funeral.
44:15They raised the money within days.
44:17It gave her a really good send-off,
44:18where everybody shared memories of Jane and her dog,
44:22The sea of flowers that were left in front of a house,
44:26it was heartwarming because you think nowadays
44:29that we don't know our neighbours,
44:31we don't care about people,
44:34but actually, people do care.
