The police receive a distressing call from a house in Northampton early one morning, reporting that a young woman has taken her own life. Officers attend along with paramedics and start to deal with what appears to be a suicide. Due to the number of persons present, the officers call for a Sergeant to also attend.
On his arrival, a cursory check of the scene provides more questions than answers and at the Sergeants request, the Homicide Team are called out. As the enquiry develops questions begin to build as to the circumstances of the death and DI Tennet decides to turn to expert witnesses from different disciplines to help piece together how the lady died and whether it was by her own hand or had something more sinister occurred?
Please be aware that this presentation includes references to suicide.

I was a police officer in Northamptonshire for 30 years, rising from the rank of Police Constable to Detective Chief Inspector and was an accredited Senior Investigating Officer, licensed by the Home Office to investigate the most serious of offences.
During my five or more years as part of the Homicide and Major Crime Team these skills were in constant use. Later, as the deputy head of the the Professional Standards department (the real life 'Line of Duty'), I was able to use these skills again.
I am a keen cyclist and open water swimmer as well as a qualified Open Water Lifeguard.
I have been delivering my presentations for many years or more to a wide range of groups such as the WI, Rotary Clubs, local history societies, Probus and many other social groups. I get many repeat bookings from groups which suggests that they enjoy my talks.
All of my talks are delivered by way of Powerpoint and I have all of my own equipment to do so. Many of the talks are supported by documents and photographs for your audience to examine.
