Bulic Forsythe was a senior manager in the At the time of his death in February 1993, he was responsible for building management within the council. In the days leading up to his death, Bulic reportedly confided in a colleague that he had discovered evidence of a paedophile ring operating within Lambeth Council properties and was considering going public with the information.

"It was the subject of a recent review by the Metropolitan Police Service (Operation Redsnow), as a result of concerns that there was a connection between Mr Forsythe's employment at Lambeth Council and his murder, but no evidence of such a connection was found. "At the very least, the murder of Mr Forsythe is likely to have caused concern and fear on the part of staff and councillors."

Bulic was killed in a suspicious manner — on February 26, 1993, his flat was set alight. His body was subsequently discovered inside, with a post-mortem revealing his skull was fractured before the fire was started — indicating he was beaten to death prior to the arson attack. Witnesses reported seeing three men leaving Bulic's flat carrying bags of documents and files shortly before the fire. Advertisement A witness who lived nearby and appeared on the BBC's Crimewatch said: "I was going over to the paper shop to buy a paper and I saw three men coming out of Foster Court around the front. "They were carrying briefcases and some folders in their hands. Why I noticed them was because they looked official and I've never saw them here before." Internal Lambeth Council reports and later investigations suggest that his murder may have been linked to his knowledge of, and intention to expose, a paedophile ring involving senior council staff. These reports detailed shocking allegations of sexual abuse, including the use of council premises for the rape of women and children by senior officials. Advertisement Bulic was said to have told a colleague he was going to "spill the beans" about what he had discovered Despite these serious allegations, the findings were not formally investigated by police at the time, with the case remaining unsolved. The murder caused widespread fear among council staff, as it was seen as a warning to anyone who might ask too many questions or attempt to expose wrongdoing within the council. In the Footsteps of Killers A new investigation into the murder of Bulic Forsythe is featured in an episode of Channel 4's In the Footsteps of Killers. Advertisement Presented by Emilia Fox and leading criminologist Professor David Wilson, the show examines the circumstances around his death and the allegations of abuse within Lambeth Council. Aiming to shed new light on one of London's most disturbing unsolved murders, the doc explores whether Bulic was killed because he was about to expose a network of abuse and corruption within Lambeth Council. You can catch the episode of In the Footsteps of Killers featuring the murder of Bulic Forsythe at 10pm on Channel 4 on Tuesday, June 17, 2025.
