In November 2015, the quiet village of Beddau was shaken by the discovery of a human corpse.

With no DNA, fingerprints, or dental records matching the body, the case turned into a haunting mystery: who was the victim, and who committed the crime?

The Body Next Door is made up of three parts which follow the police investigation into the killing.

It is set to premiere on Sunday, August 11 on Sky Documentaries and NOW.

"It is the exceptional storytelling from the team at RAW that takes the viewer down an unexpected path which makes it such a riveting watch."

Keeley Van Dyke and Louise Norman, Executive Producers at RAW, added: "What started as an intriguing murder mystery in a small, tight-knit village became an international tale of deceit, abuse, and violence.

"Thanks to the bravery of our contributors, some of whom are talking for the first time, we can tell the tragic story of how one murder can spin us back in time for generations."

The Body Next Door was commissioned for Sky Documentaries and produced by RAW.

The series has been directed by Gareth Johnson and produced by Phelan Glen.
