An officer who caught two serial killers is coming to Preston to host a crime thriller night.

Colin Sutton, the senior investigative officer who caught Levi Bellfield in 2004 and ‘Night Stalker’ Delroy Grant in 2009, is featuring in an evening at The Guild Hall.

The Makings of a Murderer 2 – The Real Manhunter, is a true crime tour which has sold out shows nationwide.

Colin, who was head of a Metropolitan Police murder squad will tell his real-life experiences of how he caught some of the UK’s most evil murderers.

The event follows the ITV drama series ‘Manhunt,’ where Colin was played by Martin Clunes.

Colin will talk the audience through his career, what it is like to chase and catch a serial killer in a ‘unique’ and ‘one-off’ night at the theatre.

The ‘chilling’ night will take place on Friday 1 November, kicking off at 7:30pm. Tickets cost £34.

This event follows the re-opening of Preston’s Guild Hall foyer, which has events lined up from Thursday 3 October.

It holds around 350 people and the venue is due to operate from Thursdays to Sundays.
