Death of a Showjumper
Episode 1: Secrets and Silence
When Katie Simpson, a talented jockey, died unexpectedly in 2020, the majority of the horse community accepted that she had taken her own life, but a local journalist questioned the official conclusion. Katie’s death triggered a memory of an old case she covered, a case with too many similarities to Katie’s. At the centre of her suspicions was Katie’s brother-in-law, an influential champion showjumper, jockey and horse trainer, Jonathan Creswell. Now, in this new three-part documentary series told by the investigators, Katie’s friends and family, and Jonathan Creswell’s circle, the series reveals how a secret investigation ended in a high stakes murder trial with an ending that no one expected. Featuring their personal accounts of the events that led up to Katie’s death and after it, the series gives unparalleled insight into a disturbing story of violence and coercive control within a tight knit sporting community.
