A Channel 5 documentary on the brutal murder of a Potters Bar businesswoman hit a peak viewership of 1.2 million when it aired last week.
The Body in the Bin - which features Welwyn Hatfield Times reporter Dan Mountney - aired on Channel 5 on Thursday, August 29, with millions tuning into the hour-long programme focusing on the murder of 71-year-old mother Louise Kam.
She was strangled with the cord from a hairdryer at a house in Barnet, before her body was then unceremoniously concealed in a rubbish bin by the killers.
A shock tale of fraud and murder, The Body in the Bin features "extraordinary unseen videos posted by the killers and harrowing CCTV footage to create a horrific timeline of events".
Kebab shop workers Kusai Al-Jundi and Mohamed El-Abboud attempted to defraud Ms Kam by getting her to sign over her estate to them, with the promise of a vast sum of cash from a wealthy overseas investor.
When this plan failed, the fraudsters-turned-killers strangled Louise with the cord from a hairdryer in a home she owned in North London.
They then hid her body in a wheelie bin before posting callous TikTok videos “celebrating” Louise’s murder by dancing on her driveway just hours after her brutal killing in July 2021.
Al-Jundi and El-Abboud were jailed for a minimum of 35 years in February 2023.
