The powerful Sky Original docuseries Bibaa & Nicole: Murder in the Park explores the heartbreaking story of sisters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman, whose lives were brutally taken in a London park in June 2020. What began as a small, joyful birthday gathering for Bibaa turned into a devastating tragedy, further compounded by shocking police misconduct in the aftermath.
As lockdown restrictions eased, Bibaa and Nicole celebrated into the evening with friends. When the sisters failed to return home, their disappearance was initially ignored by the police, leaving their family and friends to organise a desperate search. It was Nicole's partner who eventually found their bodies 36 hours later. As the investigation began, a new outrage emerged when police officers tasked with guarding the crime scene shared photographs of the sisters' bodies on social media.
The series features emotional interviews with the women's mother, Mina Smallman, as well as family members, friends, and detectives involved in the case. Through their accounts, Bibaa & Nicole: Murder in the Park pieces together the sisters' final hours, the failures that delayed the investigation, and the wider issues it revealed within policing.
Produced by True Vision TV for Sky Documentaries, the series is directed by Alex Thomas, with Brian Woods as Executive Producer. Kathryn Taylor and Gilberte Phanor also serve as executive producers for Sky, alongside Series Producer Sian Guerra and Producer/Director Lindsay Konieczny.
Bibaa & Nicole: Murder in the Park premieres on 11 May on Sky Documentaries and NOW.
