Underbelly Files: Tell Them Lucifer was Here is an Australian made-for-television movie that aired on 7 February 2011 on the Nine Network. It is the first of three television movies in the Underbelly Files series, the other two being Infiltration and The Man Who Got Away.[1]

It tells the true story of the murders of two Victorian Police Officers, Gary Silk and Rodney Miller, who were gunned down in the line of duty in 1998 and the manhunt to catch their killers.

Synopsis

Tell Them Lucifer was Here tells the true story of the cold-blooded murders of Victorian Police Officers Gary Silk and Rodney Miller, who were gunned down in the line of duty in 1998, and the massive Police manhunt to catch their killers. The story centres on the investigation of the brutal murders under the direction of Detective Inspector Paul Sheridan and the Lorimer Taskforce. Tracking down the killers proved all but impossible, and it was only through outstanding detective work, dogged persistence, and sheer faith that the killers were brought to justice.[2]

Alternate version

Late in 2010 the telemovie hit a legal snag as part of a pending court case in the NSW law courts, which resulted in a slightly altered version of Tell Them Lucifer was Here being broadcast in Sydney and NSW on Monday 7 February. The version screened in NSW omitted one particular scene and changed the names of a number of individuals in the case (for example "Bandali Debs" changed to "Patrici Fabro"). However, in an oversight, the subtitles were not edited, and showed the original names.[3]
