Did you know that 90% of people believe they can get away with murder - are you one of them?

There will be a live psychopath test to find out!

Serial killer and psychopathy expert Cheish Merryweather introduces MURDER:STAGED - a true crime talk that takes a deep dive into the embedded lies at crime scenes. 

The 'CSI effect' has created a new type of killer – you will investigate the six types of stagers: The Planner, The Creator, The Cleaner, The Concealer, The Fabricator and The Inflictor.

Featuring forensics, criminology, dark psychology and reconstructed real-life crime scene walk-throughs.

An unmissable evening for any true crime fan.

AGE RECOMMENDATION: 16+
