A true crime talk revealing the phenomenon of staged murders is set to wow Peterborough audiences.

Psychopathy expert Cheish Merryweather's Murder: Staged will delve into the insidious world of forensically aware killers and their cunning attempts to thwart justice.

Cheish Merryweather said: "The 'CSI effect' has created a new type of killer – one that is forensically aware and is out to mislead an investigation.

"'Murder: Staged' will explore the lies embedded in crime scenes and share the expertise from those who dig deep for the truth."

In a chilling twist, the talk will also include a live psychopath test.

Cheish Merryweather said: “There will also be a live psychopath test which will be a good indication of who we really should be keeping a close eye on."
