Series 1: 1. Murder in the Bedroom

On 19th May 2002, 34-year-old Paul Gault was found murdered in his home in Lisburn, where he lived with his wife, Lesley, and their five-year-old triplets.\n\nInitially, detectives believed they were dealing with a violent burglary gone wrong, but it became clear that the crime scene was meticulously staged, suggesting a deeper, more sinister motive. A thread of suspicion emerged, pointing to a frequent daytime visitor to the Gault residence.\n\nAs Detective Inspector Roy McComb delved into the case, a darker truth emerged – this was no ordinary crime. Instead, it was a calculated act of jealousy. This unique and challenging investigation focused on two main suspects: Lesley Gault, Paul's wife, and her lover, Gordon Graham. What followed was a relentless pursuit of justice, culminating in not one but three gruelling criminal trials.\n\nBut the impact of this crime stretched beyond the courtroom. Jonathan Gault, the couple's son, still carries the emotional scars of that day. He shares his perspective, shedding light on the impact on his life and the frustration he feels toward those who doubted his mother's innocence and the man who took his father's life.
