Murder UK

In 2012, Suzanne Van Hagen encountered a violent man through an online platform in the United Kingdom. A year later she was discovered dead, and her relatives are campaigning to demonstrate that her death was not the result of a consensual sex game.

“A Dangerous Game” is a television programme presented as an episode‑long investigation. It falls within the genre of true‑crime documentary, focusing on a real‑life case that unfolded in the United Kingdom. The series adopts a straightforward narrative style, aiming to recount the events surrounding a tragic death without embellishment. The story centres on Suzanne Van Hagen, who in 2012 made contact with a man online whose behaviour proved to be violent. A year after that initial meeting, Suzanne’s body was discovered, prompting a police investigation. Her relatives quickly became convinced that the official explanation – that the incident was a sex‑related game that went wrong – did not reflect what had actually happened. Determined to challenge that version of events, Suzanne’s family set about gathering evidence and pressing for a different interpretation of the case. They worked to demonstrate that the circumstances surrounding her death were far more complex than a simple “sex game” narrative, seeking to shift the focus onto the violent nature of the online encounter and the subsequent handling of the investigation. The programme follows the family’s campaign from the initial discovery of Suzanne’s body through the ensuing legal and investigative battles. By tracing the timeline from the 2012 online contact to the 2013 fatal outcome, “A Dangerous Game” presents a concise account of the efforts to uncover the truth behind a tragic loss.
