Body In The Suitcase
On the 11th of June, 2021, CCTV shows Jemma Mitchell dragging a large blue suitcase towards her church friend Deborah Chong’s home. Hours later, Mitchell is recorded leaving the area, dragging two visibly heavy suitcases behind her. But it’s not until Deborah’s decapitated body is discovered two weeks later that the chilling significance of these images hits home. BODY IN THE SUITCASE is a gripping, two-part special, that takes viewers deep into the shocking twists and turns of an unprecedented case, through first-hand accounts from family members, eyewitnesses and police. Could polite, middle-class osteopath Jemma Mitchell really have used that suitcase to transport her friend’s dead body? Had she killed her? And, if so, how had their devout Christian friendship descended into murder?
