In honour of the 30th anniversary of Nicole Brown Simpson’s death, Crime+Investigation is set to air The Life and Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson in the UK from Sunday 16th June. The 4x60 UK premiere will feature exclusive home videos, interviews and new details, to pull back the curtain on the woman behind the murder and trail of the century.

The documentary provides an opportunity for Nicole’s own narrative and voice to be heard in one of the most notorious crimes and trials in history. The project features 50 participants, including those who knew Nicole the best – her friends and family – to shed new light on her life and tragic death. With unprecedented access to exclusive home videos and interviews, the documentary will reveal shocking new details in the tragic story.

Nicole Brown Simpson’s murder and O.J.’s proclaimed innocence have been the subject of scrutiny for years, but the story has always been missing one key side…Nicole’s. Now, following the 30th anniversary of her death, Nicole’s story will finally be told as her three sisters – Denise, Dominique, and Tanya – and her closest friends, including Kris Jenner and Faye Resnick, come forward for the first time to share her truth.

The Brown Sisters said: “What happened to our sister Nicole should never have happened to her or to any other woman.  Her life was stolen from her and while her abuser is finally gone, it doesn’t take away the anguish we feel or the pain of her children who lost their mother. We hope that by sharing Nicole’s story, it will help others recognize the signs and get the help they need and her legacy will continue to live on.”

The Life and Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson is produced by Bunim/Murray Productions for Lifetime. Jesse Daniels (Surviving R. Kelly), Melissa Moore (The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard), Rit Saraswat (Surviving R. Kelly: Part II), Brie Miranda Bryant (Where is Wendy Williams?, Janet Jackson, Surviving R.
