The Makings of a Murderer - The Undercover Detective

About this event

Peter Bleksley, a founding member of Scotland Yard's undercover unit and former contributor to Channel 4's Hunted, presents an insights-based evening exploring murder investigations from the inside. Over a decade working undercover, Bleksley infiltrated criminal organisations whilst maintaining a carefully constructed double life. His experiences include direct involvement in high-stakes cases and first-hand exposure to the methods and psychology of serious criminals.

This event covers the operational realities of undercover work, significant investigations, and Bleksley's own experience of becoming a murder plot target. His career as a detective concluded following an FBI-uncovered assassination attempt, leading to his entry into witness protection. The presentation draws on these experiences to examine both the investigative process and the personal costs of working at the intersection of law enforcement and organised crime.
