What is I, Sniper on Channel 4 about?
The series is about a number of murders that took place across a three-week time frame in 2002 where ten people were killed and three more were injured.
The attacks were random but were coordinated shootings that occurred during three weeks in October 2002.
The name Beltway comes from the highway that surrounds Washington DC.
Attackers Malvo and Muhammad first killed in February of that year and over the ten month period, the pair shot and killed 17 people.
21-year-old cashier Keenya Nicole Cook became their first victim. Cook’s aunt was a friend of Muhammad’s ex-wife and had encouraged her to divorce.
