Interview #72 | Anton Sullivan Discusses the Christophe Borgye Murder Case

Interview #72 | Anton Sullivan Discusses the Christophe Borgye Murder Case

In this interview episode, I’m joined by Anton Sullivan, a retired police inspector with over 32 years of operational experience.


We briefly discuss Anton's career before moving on to the murder of French national Christophe Borgye in 2009 and the challenges investigators, including Anton, faced during the case. Due to his fluency in French, Anton was able to act as the family liaison officer and help with translations, and the case went on to become a huge part of his career.


Anton shares the emotional reality of contacting the victim’s family, the turning point marked by the discovery of human remains, and how police worked to confirm Christophe’s identity. We also explore the wider societal and procedural differences between investigations in France and the UK.


The story has recently been covered in a two-part documentary called 'Murder in Concrete' which is available to watch now on Prime Video:
