In the eighth episode of British Murders Season 4, I tell the story of Euan Peters and Shafiul Islam.
Peters, who also went by Sax Coke, was an underground UK hip hop artist who was well known to the police.
On November 14, 2019, Peters visited Islam’s flat in Newport, South Wales, and proceeded to attack him multiple times with a glass Kopparberg cider bottle.
Islam suffered severe brain injuries and died 6 days later at Royal Gwent Hospital as a result.
Peters received a life sentence with a minimum term of 33 years in April 2021.

S04E07 - Lee James (The Murder of Bijan Ebrahimi)
In the seventh episode of British Murders Season 4, I tell the story of Lee James and Bijan Ebrahimi.
Bijan arrived in the UK as a refugee from Iran in 2000 and settled in South Bristol.
He received horrific abuse, both physical and verbal, from his neighbours at several different housing estates.
On July 13, 2013, Bijan was kicked to death by his neighbour Lee James after incorrectly being branded as a paedophile by the other residents.
Lee James was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 18 years.
This case is notable for the lack of support Bijan received from both Avon & Somerset Constabulary as well as Bristol City Council.

S04E09 - Peter Reeve (The Murder of PC Ian Dibell)
In the ninth episode of British Murders Season 4, I tell the story of Peter Reeve and PC Ian Dibell.
On July 9, 2012, Reeve confronted his neighbour Trevor Marshall in Clacton-on-Sea and fired several handgun shots towards him.
Trevor was hit once in the leg and survived, but the same can’t be said for heroic police officer Ian Dibell.
Despite being off-duty at the time of the attack, PC Dibell attempted to disarm Reeve but was shot in the chest during the scuffle.
PC Dibell died almost instantly due to suffering fatal aorta damage.
Peter Reeve shot himself in the head the following morning at All Saints Church in the neighbouring village of Writtle.
