I was Katie’s manager at the time and can only say that the world has lost a beautiful soul! Your kindness and consideration you showed will never leave my or the people you cared for! RIP Katie!
If someone claims to have accidentally killed someone, but aren’t willing to tell police where the body is, it should be an automatic first degree murder charge.
Me neither, maybe they think by putting this out it may improve their reputation? It won't especially after the recent NB case may this lady one day get justice
@@timelord5920 Dodgy lot When there was public questioning LP about the hideous way of looking for NB all that Snowdon said we lost the narrative like hello nothing to do with their Coms team, the public couldn't believe the balls up they made
@@timelord5920 Me too. And there lies the problem LP never had any facts just in the river due to a dog and phone? Well let's just hope I am not bumped off next to the ironing board, oh she's electricuted herself
Thankyou for making this available to us civilians who sometimes forget how hard it is for you to put a case together and the hours of monotonous work to get the cctv. Also Kate family are brave allowing this to be shared. As a team be proud that you did Kate justice .
Having lost my son… i still can’t imagine the deep grief along with a dozen other emotions her family has had to endure . Such evil in the world.. So terribly wrong that too often it overshadows the good…. No words are enough…
We lost my brother in extremely traumatic & tragic circumstances. There aren’t words to express the agony that my family has endured. My Dad is a broken man. I wish I could make life better for my parents. I’m now an only child & I feel like a failure. If it had been me, my brother would have known how to comfort my Mum & Dad & make life better. I wish that I had some great insight but I don’t. I’m so very sorry that you have to live with such pain. Please hold your family tight! These monsters have no idea how many lives they are taking when they take a beloved person away so thoughtlessly!
Thank you to the family for allowing Katie's story to be shared. This is an educational film so more should have been said about Claire's law- domestic violence disclosure scheme. This could have been a great to get the word out.
Brilliant point. Ladies and gentleman they don’t stop you have to leave. Get help as soon as possible. Devastating for her family. DV isn’t just about bruises.
Could tell from the beginning he was lying… then he has the cheek to try get the police officer to feel pity for him ! I bet he is a controlling narcissist
Its not just about digging a shallow grave a few days before. He was very organised and methodical in his planning because he had dug out different layers of soil and placed them into piles
The post mortem also showed that he had hit her twelve times with the axe, so that obviously showed that his claim that it was an accident, was nonsense.
Thank you Lancashire Police. It is examples like this - exceptional investigative work - that I watch these videos. My sincere condolences to Katie's family.
R.I.P Katie. You'll forever be missed, you didn't deserve this. Massive respect to Lancashire Police and all officers and services involved. Thank you for your hard work❤ And to Katie's family, friends, and anyone touched by Katie's story like myself, I'm sending you love and my thoughts and hugs. Katie will be so proud ❤
Thank you for making this documentary. It’s good to see the police recognising the seriousness of domestic abuse, especially after-the Banaz Mahmoud case. Two women are killed on average every week. This sickens me. RIP Katie, your story will help others.
The Banaz Mahmoud case is extremely heartbreaking. Violence against women still a prolific issue, and it only takes an unhinged twat to come across a woman who they feel is a major inconvenience to them and that woman is subsequently in danger, the police need to crack down and do more. Women are not safe
The fact she possibly knew this might ever happen makes this all the more sad, if only she had more strength in herself to leave this vile beast. Bless her
I didn't expect to see something like this posted by local police, but its beautifully filmed and very interesting. Thank you. May Katie rest well, and to her family - my condolences. Good stuff, Lancs Police.
He won't and he's narrsaristic so he'll be hating every minute he thinks he was unjustly treated ha ha hahaha and it will eat at him day in day out for the remainder of his miserable life . He won't be be treated to good it will take years for the screws to acknowledge him he'll get minimum prison issue no more his applications to see a doctor or other will be misplaced his comonsery will be not what he ordered , if he orders coffee , biscuits , noodles , tuna , cereal he'll get razors soap nail clippers all usually available free from corrections this could go on for two years , he'll complain but his deposition of the complaint will be lost and receipt denied .Oh he's in for a rough few years and depends on his reaction weather pressure will be amplified .. Welcome to prison the hard way
R.I.P. Katie. My sincere sympathy to her loving family. I know you are heartbroken. There is no way to know how many lives you and Katie saved from suffering her fate. May her murderer rot in prison for the rest of his miserable life. Great job, Lancashire Police! You brought him to justice!
This was fantastic. What great work. Another senseless loss of life, a lovely lady taken by an utter waste of skin & oxygen. He could well have done this again if not caught.
WOW! I have never seen a police force release a crime documentary. The work the police did was amazing, bravo to you all. And God bless the family. My heart aches for them. Thank you for getting Katie's story out to the world. God bless you all. ❤
He’s even got the Chris Watts pose downpat 1:34 I’m so, so sorry to Katie’s loved ones and especially her parents and children. This is a horror beyond all comprehension. The plague of domestic violence is so insidious. Recently I had my best mates 30th. He watched his Dad murder his Mom when he was 5 years old. There was such a sense of loss & absence, as his siblings and many friends made speeches…and maternal and paternal figures in his life travelled many hours to attend his birthday, people who have played such an important role in his life. But there was no taking away from the fact that he had no Mom or Dad there to say _happy birthday_ or _I’m so proud of you_ . The legacy of domestic and family violence spans across generations. My ongoing love and thoughts go to Katie’s parents, siblings, family, and of course her wee children.
@@NebulaBull no it doesn’t! It’s a sign of arrogance but facial micro expressions and rocking plus other self soothing actions depends on how professionals interpret it.
What a terrible thing to do to a beautiful young woman. Condolences to her heartbroken friends and family who have shown great strength in allowing this programme to be broadcast, thereby hopefully preventing another tragedy. Huge respect .
Absolutely brilliant documentary, well done Lancashire police, I hope you make more documentaries like this, thinking of the family 😢 RIP beautiful girl
Extraordinary production values and tact here - thank you @Lancashire Police for giving such insight into the investigation - and to Katie's family for participating, and helping to further highlight the importance of all aspects pertaining to DVDS (Clare's Law)
Katie’s family are absolutely amazing, thank you for letting the police etc make this documentary. Always go with your gut feelings and instincts. A case that horrified and touched thousands of people. Please use Claire’s laws, you can never be too careful!
A prison sentence isn't good enough for premeditated murder. Evil doesn't deserve life. Burfield will have dozens of those weird women who are attracted to evil, writing & visiting him in prison. He wasn't very clever either seeing as he left so much evidence around for you to find, but what happens when you come up against an intelligent Killer who covers their tracks?
I know people love to shit on the police, however, this documentary shows just how meticulously the modern police investigate serious crimes such as murders. Scottish police where I am always seem to get their guy, it makes you incredibly proud of these hardworking men and women.
I thank Katie’s family for allowing this documentary to be shared; for Lancashire Police for catching this murderer so quickly; to everyone that pulled together to establish the timeline to prove his premeditation and for the Judge for sentencing him to an appropriate period of incarceration. I hope he never gets out. I just wish he had been caught for gaslighting Katie or even his previous partners/victims. I know what it’s like to lose someone loved beyond measure, but for Katie’s family they’ve had to deal with the horrific details of her death and a court case on top of their grief. I’m so sorry for your loss. X
This documentary has stuck with me since I first saw it several months ago. A truly tragic case, but I would wholeheartedly encourage more of these types of raw, unfiltered documentaries from the police force. As sad as the circumstances are, this content is very educational and informative, and I believe this will help people recognise the patterns of abuse and gives us a greater respect for the work the police do. This could save lives. RIP to Katie and massive respect for her family for allowing their unfortunate pain to be shared for the greater good!
What an incredible job these wonderful detectives do to get justice for the victim's families , working relentlessly with incredible integrity and dedication . They deserve our utmost respect
Thanks for the upload. It was well produced/made and thank you for leaving the comments open. Most police youtube channels shut them off. Sorry to the Kenyon family. Glad they caught this turd, though. Nothing worse than taking someone away from their young kids. I hope they don't grow up messed up because of it.
I appreciate the glimpse into the brain-storming of the detective team. I find it unique to UK true crime shows. US shows tend to lean toward a narrative type of interview of what has already happened, but this shows the gears turning. Well done. Quite interesting and informative.
Each time I've seen videos like this, it heavily dawns on me that some ppl are DRASTICALLY psychotic out here. It's escalating at an alarming rate... I'll NEVER date without EXTRA caution and background check these days...i swear
Thank you for this doco very interesting, the way UK police investigate murder is outstanding to say the least, excellent work on every ones involved.. Well done. Would love to see more of these investigations, Cheers from downunder !!!
Burfield is a sociopathic murderous monster and he's exactly where he belongs. Rest in eternal peace, Katie - I'm so sorry for what happened to you. 🙏❤
@@hamhotpocket3788 I agree Our prisons are jam-packed because the powers that be in the UK believe all those who *violently murder* the *innocent* have a right to live their lives, with no bills to pay, no food bills TVs, access to gyms, drugs ((we know drugs are smuggled into prisons)) access to higher education, arts & crafts & many other courses & activities. How can that be even close to justice, for not just brutally taking an innocent life, but for destroying the victims families lives?
As someone from Bradford this hits close to home. Never seen a small police force release a full length crime doc about a crime they covered. Very cool.
This is so dramatic and so so sad. I loved listening to the family expressing their love for Katie and it is clear that she is still a big part of their lives even though she is gone. Thanks to the Lancashire Police for doing a difficult job and making sure this man never gets out of prison. One criticism - the music - not needed and very irritating.
Yes the music is awful! And very irritating and distracting. Poor Katie! RIP. Got love your poor children and family 😢😢😢 Women need to be mindful of online dating. The help that Katie needed was for him to just piss off and leave her alone
He left with Katie, and less than an hour later, returned without Katie. He really expects anyone to believe that he "accidently" killed her, dug a grave, buried Katie and returned home in that short window of time? Not possible. Like the detective said to him... He wouldn't have had time to do all that. He was out there prior to taking Katie there, and he dug that hole, knowing he was going to take Katie back there, kill her and dispose of her body in that hole.
He did dig the hole within an hour or did I miss something in the presentation? But to dig with such diligence and speed at 51, I hope no screws give that monster a spoon he will be digging his way out of prison.
@@NebulaBull that’s the point she’s making. There’s no way he could have accidentally killed her, dug a hole, and bury her body in less than an hour. The theory that he dug the hole prior to taking her out there proves he took her out there with the intent to kill her and bury her in the hole. Premeditation…not an accident.
@@katiechisholm The police said he entered the forest (said time on the time stamp) he was there a bit in the forest and when they tell the time on the time stamp that clocks him on the way out is about 50mins and that was the first trip so he was there with her almost as long as he was there when he dug the burial site out, is what I got from watching this
So sad this story....the detectives in this case were probably the best I've seen, and I've watched alot of cases similar....keep up the good work guys n girls.
Props to the police, a well made documentary and although it's a horrific subject matter it's completely engrossing to watch. The things humans do to each other takes the breath away.
Whoever knocked this film together with the heartbeat music, awesome job and my heart goes out to this girl and her family and the police that to deal with the heartbreak and monsters
so sad,,,but its amazing how long and how much work the detectives have to put in to prove a case...we only see the quick video result and tend not to realize the hard work investigators put in to it, its is amazing
Brilliant Detective work! Fascinating to see how they piece it all together. I must admit that I too determined that he pre- dug the grave...making this sooo premeditated. Well done!👏👏👏
Heartbreaking story!!.. killed for no reason other than a controlling man unable to deal with losing control... he thought of himself only, not of her and certainly not of her children who will have to grow up without their beloved loving mum... it's sickening RIP Katie 🙏🙏🙏 Condolences to the family and loved ones, especially the children left behind 🙏🙏🙏
The world is changing fast, I wish they would bring the death penalty back….. I would gladly assist in that job!!! Why are we keeping him breathing and still paying g to keep him alive…. Hopefully one day the death penalty will be brought back. RIP beautiful, x
I'll never understand how any man can do this to women let alone a mother with children! No woman deserves to go thru this! This is evil to the core to do this! My condolences to the family ..
Great program and documentary!! So sorry for Katie’s loss!! That evil thing who calls himself a man is vile!! Please do more docos like this! Excellent, just excellent work! Thank you from the US! 🙏🏾♥️
Why do scum like this guy think it's ok to kill someone because they can, She was a mum to young children, a daughter a sister and friend to people who loved her deeply, I swear there's something missing in their heads, It's literally the devil's work, life really isn't fair, my condolences to the family I'm so sorry for your loss
Look at the state of him…how on earth did she ever end up with him 🤷🏼 bewilders me…see this time and time again…ladies stop selling yourselves short for some complete loser 👍🏻
Mad respect & admiration for the Lancashire PD. Incredibly thorough & professional job while also showing so much compassion & care to Katie’s family. I live in the US & have never seen a police dept. create a documentary on one of their cases. So, so well done, Lancashire!!!👏👏👏
I'll never ever forget this, poor lass the town came together to try find Katie and I was praying she was alive and once we found out she had been murder is was so upset for us, so can't even imagine what her family and close friends felt, I hope the monster never seems the light of day again. & I feel sorry for the kids. R.I.P Katie 💔🌹
Well done Lancashire Police both in preparing the case and releasing this video. We need better education, starting at secondary school, to better prepare people to deal with the unfortunately many Burfields out there, total losers who cause so much pain and heartache.
That was a hard watch but it’s great to see that the police and family didn’t let this man get away with his awful horrible lies and evil wicked ways I hope he rots whilst Katie glows from above xxx
One person stated that he didn't know what word to use and he struggled with the obvious. It's called predator, hunter, stalker, wolf, leech, user, destroyer, etc. He was seeking whom he could devour 😝💯!!! He had no good intentions, just a straight up loser!
This has been handled so well by Lancs Police 👍 To challenge a murderer with confidence and a direct well articulated manner , which has led this guy to end up where he belongs is fantastic. Great job lancs police and the interviewers have smashed it in my opinion. God forbid if I ever get into a situation where I’m a victim and if so I would want the interviewers on my side !!! Amazing 👏👏👏👏👏
So very well done by the police and forensics on this case. Great work and thankfully the police and others involved and Katie's family and loved ones were not let down by the judge for a change, and Katies killer received a more suitable sentence than most killers get in the UK. RIP Katie.
Great result on the case but why spend taxpayers money making this documentary? Why not let BBC, iTV or Netflix make it? This video comes across as self promotion and reputation management.
@@karlaparker7988 Exactly. Laura Richards on her TH-cam channel @crimeanalyst has spoken out about the way Andrew Snowden, Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner, said Lancashire Police should "control the narrative" following the NB case. As if by magic, Lancashire Police put out this video, reminding us how good they are. The police have a job. The media have a job. It's a symbiotic relationship that's worked well for many years. We're venturing into extremely dangerous territory if the police decide they are now the media and can deliver the reporting on their own cases.
@@karlaparker7988 Yes, I agree wholeheartedly with you. How dare they release "information" about her alcohol consumption. I wonder if Nicolas partner told them that 🤔. Funny how she drives the girls to school often.
@@idiotsimulator8055 I am a professional working with alcohol dependent people, many are high functioning and to an untrained eye you would never know. The give away is facial colouring of which PA has, their lives are usually chaotic he has at least 4 failed businesses in close succession, they always blame and shame those around. However NB is absolutely fresh faced, seemingly her work going well. The police would not be aware unless he told them the crap about her.
@@karlaparker7988 Thank you for your reply. I definitely agree that Paul is the drinker. I'd like to know how many times the police visited due to him. I've read on a few posts around this sad case that the neighbors were aware of his bad behaviour and shouting. That's probably why Nicholas family never appeared with him.
What concerns me, is that she said, ' if I go missing , it'll be him ' Yet he's saying she went with him into the forest. All i can think he must have done it at force. How terrifying for her in that moment.
The problem is we don't listen to our intuition!! she told her sister that she felt like he was going to do something evil to her. she should have stayed away from him as far as possible.. you don't get into a van with someone and driving to the middle of nowhere if your gut is telling you that if anything happens to you it's going to them
He controlled her. It's difficult to understand unless you've experienced it but I think she may have felt dependant on him. It's sort of like Stockholm syndrome
I will never understand how someone thinks it is alright to take another person's life for any reason. Also I don't know if I missed it but what reason did he give for killing her?
Katie described by her family was a lovely loving person... RIP sweet girl. The police did wonderful work getting the evidence together to convict this man and make sure he serves the maximum sentence..
Why do these selfish monsters put families through such pain and torment just because they can’t handle letting go of someone they once loved. Thanks for sharing great police work, Rip Katie, love to her family and friends❤️
@@shellbell6919 I lived with an abusive ex who tried to murder and bury me in a pre-dug grave. I managed to escape by playing dead. I know all about it unfortunately.
Omg sassyscouser so sorry you had to go true such torture by your cruel elil partner thank god u played dead,, hope he got life the animal,,hope u are dealing with all this and having a great life, best wishes Hun ❤❤
Thank you for the excellent documentary. May I please make a suggestion re the background music? It not only often drowns out the voices, but it is the same monotonous music over and over again. A documentary like this does not need any music. It only detracts from an otherwise well-put together video.
I agree the background music was so obtrusive I pushed the mouse to jump the last 20 minutes to discover his sentence. It was a good documentary and would have been much better without the constant backbeat
Music plus shaky video makes me sea sick. Watched 15 mins. will search for Katie's story somewhere else. Never heard of this case before. CC won't print the right words either.
Poor Katie, such a loving kind empathic soul who was preyed upon by a nobody, a grifter, murderer who gave her no thought nor her children. What an ugly soul who yook such beauty from her loving family.
It baffles me how stupid these creeps are, thinking they're smarter than the police and don't know about ppl being tracked by their phones . But, thank goodness for technology 🙏
I was Katie’s manager at the time and can only say that the world has lost a beautiful soul! Your kindness and consideration you showed will never leave my or the people you cared for! RIP Katie!
So sorry for you and her family's loss! 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
It always seems that our planet loses lovely souls to monstrous individuals. 😔
I'm so sorry 😢
My heartfelt condolences to you and her family n friends 🙏😞
Her ex-partner seems like a scum bag who only thought about himself and not even his own kids😊
If someone claims to have accidentally killed someone, but aren’t willing to tell police where the body is, it should be an automatic first degree murder charge.
Never to be let out until he at least discloses where she is

A truly tragic case, but I would wholeheartedly encourage more of these types of raw, unfiltered documentaries from the police force. As sad as the circumstances are, this content is very educational and informative, and I believe this will help people recognise the patterns of abuse and gives us a greater respect for the work the police do. This could save lives.
RIP to Katie and massive respect for her family for allowing their unfortunate pain to be shared for the greater good!
What an incredible job these wonderful detectives do to get justice for the victim's families , working relentlessly with incredible integrity and dedication . They deserve our utmost respect
Thanks for the upload. It was well produced/made and thank you for leaving the comments open. Most police youtube channels shut them off. Sorry to the Kenyon family. Glad they caught this turd, though. Nothing worse than taking someone away from their young kids. I hope they don't grow up messed up because of it.
R.I. P Katie I don’t know how anyone can be so cruel
selfishly cruel
I appreciate the glimpse into the brain-storming of the detective team. I find it unique to UK true crime shows. US shows tend to lean toward a narrative type of interview of what has already happened, but this shows the gears turning. Well done. Quite interesting and informative.
Each time I've seen videos like this, it heavily dawns on me that some ppl are DRASTICALLY psychotic out here. It's escalating at an alarming rate... I'll NEVER date without EXTRA caution and background check these days...i swear
Rose are you in the UK?
@@rage707 why are you asking dear?
@@Roses_777 if you're 25-35 I'll ask if you're single
Def a good idea to date a weird creep called “rage 707” after stating you’ll only date without a background check 😂 😂
@@rage707😂😂😂 OMG nooo...dear I'm not answering that
Thank you for this doco very interesting, the way UK police investigate murder is outstanding to say the least, excellent work on every ones involved.. Well done. Would love to see more of these investigations, Cheers from downunder !!!
Burfield is a sociopathic murderous monster and he's exactly where he belongs. Rest in eternal peace, Katie - I'm so sorry for what happened to you. 🙏❤
he’s not where he really belongs ..
He's living it up on a taxpayers dime, rec facilities with pool, food daily, showers. Death row is where he belongs.
@@hamhotpocket3788
I agree
Our prisons are jam-packed because the powers that be in the UK believe all those who *violently murder* the *innocent* have a right to live their lives, with
no bills to pay,
no food bills
TVs,
access to gyms,
drugs ((we know drugs are smuggled into prisons))
access to higher education,
arts & crafts & many other courses & activities.
How can that be even close to justice, for not just brutally taking an innocent life, but for destroying the victims families lives?
As someone from Bradford this hits close to home. Never seen a small police force release a full length crime doc about a crime they covered. Very cool.
This is so dramatic and so so sad. I loved listening to the family expressing their love for Katie and it is clear that she is still a big part of their lives even though she is gone. Thanks to the Lancashire Police for doing a difficult job and making sure this man never gets out of prison. One criticism - the music - not needed and very irritating.
Yes the music is awful! And very irritating and distracting.
Poor Katie! RIP. Got love your poor children and family
😢😢😢
Women need to be mindful of online dating.
The help that Katie needed was for him to just piss off and leave her alone
He left with Katie, and less than an hour later, returned without Katie. He really expects anyone to believe that he "accidently" killed her, dug a grave, buried Katie and returned home in that short window of time?
Not possible. Like the detective said to him... He wouldn't have had time to do all that. He was out there prior to taking Katie there, and he dug that hole, knowing he was going to take Katie back there, kill her and dispose of her body in that hole.
He did dig the hole within an hour or did I miss something in the presentation? But to dig with such diligence and speed at 51, I hope no screws give that monster a spoon he will be digging his way out of prison.
@@NebulaBull that’s the point she’s making. There’s no way he could have accidentally killed her, dug a hole, and bury her body in less than an hour. The theory that he dug the hole prior to taking her out there proves he took her out there with the intent to kill her and bury her in the hole. Premeditation…not an accident.
@@katiechisholm The police said he entered the forest (said time on the time stamp) he was there a bit in the forest and when they tell the time on the time stamp that clocks him on the way out is about 50mins and that was the first trip so he was there with her almost as long as he was there when he dug the burial site out, is what I got from watching this
So sad this story....the detectives in this case were probably the best I've seen, and I've watched alot of cases similar....keep up the good work guys n girls.
This documentary is incredible! Would be great to see more.
Props to the police, a well made documentary and although it's a horrific subject matter it's completely engrossing to watch. The things humans do to each other takes the breath away.
Humans dont do these things to one another souless MONSTERS do bad things to us Good Human Beings x
The production quality is amazing. These officers seem extremely professional and hard working ensuring the killer was brought to justice. RIP Katie.
Whoever knocked this film together with the heartbeat music, awesome job and my heart goes out to this girl and her family and the police that to deal with the heartbreak and monsters
The music a little bit annoying 😅 it’s distracting
so sad,,,but its amazing how long and how much work the detectives have to put in to prove a case...we only see the quick video result and tend not to realize the hard work investigators put in to it, its is amazing
Brilliant Detective work! Fascinating to see how they piece it all together. I must admit that I too determined that he pre- dug the grave...making this sooo premeditated. Well done!👏👏👏
Anyone that watched footage of Chris Watts will know this guy is guilty because he’s self soothing and putting his hands on his head just like Chris 🙄
Noticed this also 💯
I thought the same
Exactly what I thought 😢
this man is the worst murderer i have even heard of. how did he expect to get away with it. RIP Katie
R.I.P Katie .Well done lancashire Police .Now please do the same for Nicola Bulley so she can R.I.P
Well said shanie .***.
Heartbreaking story!!.. killed for no reason other than a controlling man unable to deal with losing control... he thought of himself only, not of her and certainly not of her children who will have to grow up without their beloved loving mum... it's sickening
RIP Katie 🙏🙏🙏 Condolences to the family and loved ones, especially the children left behind 🙏🙏🙏
The world is changing fast, I wish they would bring the death penalty back….. I would gladly assist in that job!!! Why are we keeping him breathing and still paying g to keep him alive…. Hopefully one day the death penalty will be brought back. RIP beautiful, x
You need to check yourself girlie !
I'll never understand how any man can do this to women let alone a mother with children! No woman deserves to go thru this! This is evil to the core to do this!
My condolences to the family ..
I'll never understand why young mothers invite random guys into the home with young children in it, weak woman
This is really well put together. And for me the most chilling part is the fact that he plotted how he would cover up the murder. Those messages!
The Lancashire police did a fantastic job here, The detectives involved were simply top professionals. Rest In Peace Katie
Great program and documentary!! So sorry for Katie’s loss!! That evil thing who calls himself a man is vile!!
Please do more docos like this! Excellent, just excellent work! Thank you from the US! 🙏🏾♥️
Why do scum like this guy think it's ok to kill someone because they can, She was a mum to young children, a daughter a sister and friend to people who loved her deeply, I swear there's something missing in their heads, It's literally the devil's work, life really isn't fair, my condolences to the family I'm so sorry for your loss
Maybe she should have stuck with the dad or been OK alone, instead of jumping into a relationship with some random guy
DCI Allen Davies heart, drive, intelligence, and wits are epic. What an amazing man. I listen to him speak for hours.
Dmm is that beautiful lady you?
@@rage707 it’s me. thanks for the kind words..
are you 💍
Thank you for sharing the story. Justice for all women ❤ including Nicola Bulley 🙌
Justice why she drowned..? Why would you want justice when it was an accident or suicide..?
Nicola bulley wasn't murdered.
@@carriefawcett9990not sure
Sending positivity to a beautiful lady, family, friends and to all who helped solve this case. 🇬🇧 UK XX
Look at the state of him…how on earth did she ever end up with him 🤷🏼 bewilders me…see this time and time again…ladies stop selling yourselves short for some complete loser 👍🏻
😊
Excellent mini documentary thanks for uploading.
Switch off the music, horrible droning noise! Who is still using the shakey camera method. Is 2023 not 1993!
What a disgusting horrible monster, why are they calling it a life sentence when it’s not! RIP sweet Katie.
Hands on his head when being asked where Katie is exactly the same as Chris whatts did!
What a terrible,sad case, my heart goes out to Katie's family .
It's always about losing control. What a monster, heart goes to Katie kids and family
Mad respect & admiration for the Lancashire PD. Incredibly thorough & professional job while also showing so much compassion & care to Katie’s family.
I live in the US & have never seen a police dept. create a documentary on one of their cases. So, so well done, Lancashire!!!👏👏👏
I'll never ever forget this, poor lass the town came together to try find Katie and I was praying she was alive and once we found out she had been murder is was so upset for us, so can't even imagine what her family and close friends felt, I hope the monster never seems the light of day again. & I feel sorry for the kids. R.I.P Katie 💔🌹
Well done Lancashire Police both in preparing the case and releasing this video. We need better education, starting at secondary school, to better prepare people to deal with the unfortunately many Burfields out there, total losers who cause so much pain and heartache.
That was a hard watch but it’s great to see that the police and family didn’t let this man get away with his awful horrible lies and evil wicked ways I hope he rots whilst Katie glows from above xxx
Cant hear properly for the really deep bass music. So annoying!
One person stated that he didn't know what word to use and he struggled with the obvious. It's called predator, hunter, stalker, wolf, leech, user, destroyer, etc. He was seeking whom he could devour 😝💯!!! He had no good intentions, just a straight up loser!
Great investigative work
To be honest he was incredibly dumb, wasn’t hard to ‘investigate’ given this clown forgot CCTV was a thing that existed
THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD, TOO LOUD, TOO LOUD. IT OVER POWERS THE STORY, WHICH IS A DISGRACE, NOT TO MENTION CRAPPY MUSIC.
Music spoils the video,,
Stop shouting.
Your comment is also too loud!
New to me, a police force making and releasing a documentary. 👏👍🏼
The music is so annoying,,,
This has been handled so well by Lancs Police 👍 To challenge a murderer with confidence and a direct well articulated manner , which has led this guy to end up where he belongs is fantastic. Great job lancs police and the interviewers have smashed it in my opinion. God forbid if I ever get into a situation where I’m a victim and if so I would want the interviewers on my side !!! Amazing 👏👏👏👏👏
So very well done by the police and forensics on this case.
Great work and thankfully the police and others involved and Katie's family and loved ones were not let down by the judge for a change, and Katies killer received a more suitable sentence than most killers get in the UK. RIP Katie.
Great result on the case but why spend taxpayers money making this documentary? Why not let BBC, iTV or Netflix make it? This video comes across as self promotion and reputation management.
Well said. LP absolutely know how disgusted the public are about their ridiculous narrative of NB.
@@karlaparker7988 Exactly. Laura Richards on her TH-cam channel @crimeanalyst has spoken out about the way Andrew Snowden, Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner, said Lancashire Police should "control the narrative" following the NB case. As if by magic, Lancashire Police put out this video, reminding us how good they are.
The police have a job. The media have a job. It's a symbiotic relationship that's worked well for many years. We're venturing into extremely dangerous territory if the police decide they are now the media and can deliver the reporting on their own cases.
@@karlaparker7988 Yes, I agree wholeheartedly with you. How dare they release "information" about her alcohol consumption. I wonder if Nicolas partner told them that 🤔. Funny how she drives the girls to school often.
@@idiotsimulator8055 I am a professional working with alcohol dependent people, many are high functioning and to an untrained eye you would never know. The give away is facial colouring of which PA has, their lives are usually chaotic he has at least 4 failed businesses in close succession, they always blame and shame those around. However NB is absolutely fresh faced, seemingly her work going well. The police would not be aware unless he told them the crap about her.
@@karlaparker7988 Thank you for your reply. I definitely agree that Paul is the drinker. I'd like to know how many times the police visited due to him. I've read on a few posts around this sad case that the neighbors were aware of his bad behaviour and shouting. That's probably why Nicholas family never appeared with him.
There's no point in making a documentary when the music that loud we can't hear what they're talking about, the part I'm talking about is at 1:26
What concerns me, is that she said, ' if I go missing , it'll be him ' Yet he's saying she went with him into the forest. All i can think he must have done it at force. How terrifying for her in that moment.
The problem is we don't listen to our intuition!!
she told her sister that she felt like he was going to do something evil to her.
she should have stayed away from him as far as possible.. you don't get into a van with
someone and driving to the middle of nowhere if your gut is telling you that if anything happens to you it's going to them
He controlled her. It's difficult to understand unless you've experienced it but I think she may have felt dependant on him. It's sort of like Stockholm syndrome
I will never understand how someone thinks it is alright to take another person's life for any reason. Also I don't know if I missed it but what reason did he give for killing her?
How very sad, awful thing for her to go though, R I P Katie x
UK crime docs are just far more respectful & factual than the US I think.
100%
Katie described by her family was a lovely loving person... RIP sweet girl. The police did wonderful work getting the evidence together to convict this man and make sure he serves the maximum sentence..
it didnt get the max sentence
Why do these selfish monsters put families through such pain and torment just because they can’t handle letting go of someone they once loved. Thanks for sharing great police work, Rip Katie, love to her family and friends❤️
Control
They have ultra high opinions of themselves & they can't tolerate rejection. Look up the traits of a narcissist.
@@shellbell6919 I lived with an abusive ex who tried to murder and bury me in a pre-dug grave. I managed to escape by playing dead. I know all about it unfortunately.
Omg sassyscouser so sorry you had to go true such torture by your cruel elil partner thank god u played dead,, hope he got life the animal,,hope u are dealing with all this and having a great life, best wishes Hun ❤❤

Thank you for the excellent documentary. May I please make a suggestion re the background music? It not only often drowns out the voices, but it is the same monotonous music over and over again. A documentary like this does not need any music. It only detracts from an otherwise well-put together video.
I agree the background music was so obtrusive I pushed the mouse to jump the last 20 minutes to discover his sentence. It was a good documentary and would have been much better without the constant backbeat
Your music is way to loud..hard to hear even with headset.
Music plus shaky video makes me sea sick. Watched 15 mins. will search for Katie's story somewhere else. Never heard of this case before. CC won't print the right words either.
Poor Katie, such a loving kind empathic soul who was preyed upon by a nobody, a grifter, murderer who gave her no thought nor her children. What an ugly soul who yook such beauty from her loving family.
I can't watch this because of that annoying background humming [music]. True-crime stories should never have music and sound effects in them.
My heart bleeds for your beautiful family. May God hold your family in his arm and helps to bring some comfort on the loss of your sweet Katie.
This is so sad. I've never cried at a crime documentary before and crying my eyes out at the end for poor Katie 😢 💔 😭
It baffles me how stupid these creeps are, thinking they're smarter than the police and don't know about ppl being tracked by their phones . But, thank goodness for technology 🙏
I've no words to express how devastated watching this has made me feel. Sending my love and strength to all Katie's family and friends. So tragic 😪❤️
