Tragic story of Tunbridge Wells beauty consultant Clare Bernal to air on Channel 5's Stalked: Murder in Slow Motion

The story of a beauty consultant who was stalked and murdered will air tonight.

Clare Bernal was shot dead as she worked behind the counter of the Harvey Nichols store in Knightsbridge in 2005.

Czech-born Michael Pech had been stalking and harassing Miss Bernal, originally from Groombridge, near Tunbridge Wells, after she ended their three week relationship.

Shoppers and co-workers saw Pech shoot the former St Gregory's Catholic Comprehensive School student four times in the head, before turning the gun on himself.

Tonight a documentary on Miss Bernal, who also went to West Kent College in Tonbridge, will air on Channel 5.

Clare's mother Tricia Bernal has since campaigned for awareness and stronger laws around stalking, and will appear in tonight's documentary.

She previously said her her daughter's only fault was "to see the good in everybody".

Molly McLaren's tragic story featured on the same series earlier this month.

Stalked: Murder in Slow Motion starts at 10pm.
