Geoff Seggie was reported missing by his youngest son and ex-wife. When police knocked down the door at his home in Mackworth, Derbyshire, they discovered he had been brutally murdered in his home. Enquiries revealed his eldest son Daniel, with whom he lived, was nowhere to be seen, and Geoff's car was missing. Using CCTV, police investigators followed Daniel movements in the immediate aftermath of his father's murder where he stayed in his home for two days with Geoff's undiscovered body as Daniel went about his usual business including eating a Chinese takeaway in the house, heading to A&E to have his cut finger tended to, visiting McDonald's for dinner and pretending to be Geoff by texting his brother and mother from his dad's phone. After two days Daniel went on the run with Geoff's car and remained so for seven days as he travelled across to Cardiff and then Glasgow. Police eventually found Daniel in Glasgow after he contacted his girlfriend Zoe telling her his whereabouts. In the ensuing police interviews, Daniel offered no explanation for stabbing his father 60 times and striking him with a hammer on more than 20 occasions before pleading guilty to murder in court. The reason and motive as to why Daniel killed Geoff remain unsolved.
