Crimewatch Redux - The Murder of Christoph Schliack (1989) 

Older crime shows are still the best.

I love the way you have put them all together . I don’t like having to search for other episodes so I really thank you for making these available in one location Thank you

Thank you for uploading this, I look forward to watching the other redux versions too. Genuinely appreciated, I need diversion at the minute.

So sad, that poor man didn’t deserve that, the thug that killed him in such an horrific way should have been locked up for the rest of his life

I love these old episodes!

What a sad ending to this lovely man's life . May you rest in peace Christof.

Only discovered your channel a couple of days ago, I'm loving these 'full' Crimewatch stories, they are incredibly well made. I like how you've 'stitched' the original Crimewatch coverage onto the start too. Thankyou for your hard work. As for this episode, six years? That's an absolute insult.

Thanks for posting these. I’m really enjoying them .

There is very little information online about Schliach’s death and where there is, it is presented with a variety of spellings and renderings of his name and as an “unsolved”, likely homophobic, murder from days gone by. Turns out they did catch the guy, but the punishment didn’t fit the crime. Thank you for uploading this so that what happened to Schliach is on record today.

Thank you for posting!

These are quality. Please do some more

He seems like a really interesting and unique man. I love eccentric people. Also, I'm sad he didn't get to finish reading Oblomov, its a wonderful book!!

Shame none of his colleagues or boss questioned him why he was always off work. first sign of an addiction that always wanting time of work. it's a sign of a gambling, alcohol or drug addiction.

So...he was released 28 years ago... Wonder if he ended up back inside or dead.

Six years what a joke!

Discusting 6 years he was a nice guy schliak he was a harmless eccentric who was probably was lonely disgraceful 6 years. Price of shit that Hamilton

Pity no photo of the killer.

So they did find the killer of Christoff, I wasn't sure as I never followed up this case back then, but am so glad justice was done eventually.....

A police woman sees a man walking towards her with blood on his face and clothes and does nothing? Surely that is gross incompetence. I hope that she was at least disciplined for this neglect of duty.

Have they increased sentences since the 90s at all? Because only 6 years for this?! and according to the dates at the end, he only did 3!! That's really quite shockingly little.

At 41:00 they gave him a cigarette, while questioning him. When he refused to give a hair or blood sample, and he left, surely they could have tested the cigarette butt he left in the ashtray.

6 years for brutally stabbing to death a man? What terrible injustice!

My old haunt lived there!

These cases, now over 30 years old, are horrific - not least because in most cases the guilty served such short prison terms for killing people, and if still alive, are walking free today. So much police and legal work (and money) went into catching and convicting the killers, for such paltry penalties. In America. these scumbags would never see the light of day again, but would die in prison - and quite right too. How the hell is stabbing an unarmed man 23 times manslaughter?! It's clearly murder. If I was evil enough to do that to someone, there's no way I would expect anything other than a life sentence! Poor Christoph paid the ultimate price for trusting a stranger. Loneliness kills. God bless him - he did not get justice, the monster who stole his life from him should have died in a locked cage. This case reminds me of another Crimewatch case from around 1990 - also London. Retired, middle-aged gay headmaster Ron Harrison, who was tortured and killed by two rent boys. They too served ridiculously short prison sentences (I think 8 years), for their horrific violence against a vulnerable man who invited them into his home.

0:53 since when does requesting afternoons off from work constitute a drink problem?

As soon as they said flamboyant man I knew he’d be gay.

Fascinating!

If this was in court today he would of got life.

They certainly dance around the fact that he isn’t all that keen on women.

Nick Ross looks young.

Sorry does anyone know if they caught the first guy killer

What is " very nolivadule " ?

Somebody, get that landlord a bra!

Why do people always confuse "memory" with storage? The iPhone doesn't have "up to 512GB of memory"

They could of got DNA from the cigarette Hamilton extinguished in the ashtray in prison at the fist interview. Only saying...

He probably would have been a fantastic barrister, but the xenophobic old dinosaurs didn't allow that.

I was going for a drink so the fact that a guy covered in blood passed me ,n!!!!!!!!

“Something about the blood stained man she wasn’t happy with” - decided to do the square root of f all about it as she wanted to get down the pub. I hope she was sacked.

The policemen who take part in these reconstructions are always such lousy actors, bless 'em!

Could've got his DNA from the cigarette he was offered & left behind in the Mount joy interview.🚬

Disgusting he only got 6 years. Shame on the judge and jury, it should have been life.

rip christoph so sad

52:39 BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO.

Why does he remind of the tv charcter Poirot

Worked at Chancery Lane

🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹

An interesting snapshot into homophobia of the time, both in the verdict, and to a lesser extent the way the police dealt with and spoke about the case. It wasn't a 'homosexual murder', it was a 'homophobic murder'.

The copper described it as a "homosexual murder" which he said meant he "had a real problem on his hands" homosexual murders obviously being much more problematic than your bog standard hetro murder. The good ole days eh.

Serves the man right

ach-y-fi mun

Aah UK yeah they don't believe in consequences

He should have stayed at work and not lied about his drinking problem . A sad man whose talents were wasted .

really manslaughter

So he was gay.

1992, good homophobic jury you had there. UK justice isn't justice

Wat e spitting phelmp I'm in shop with white short most don't like homasexuals but these days the laws not ie whatever CNT say nothung bt gays lesbians transvestites homasexuals Cs its allowed now

A naked raving homosexual approaches a man. Man defends himself and gets locked up

Some of the acting by the witnesses is exceptionally naturalistic.

I REMEMBER ' VERY NICE POGRAMA. ♥️❤️💖♥️❤️💖👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
