Murder Reported is a 1957 British second feature ('B')[1] film directed by Charles Saunders and starring Paul Carpenter, Melissa Stribling and John Laurie.

[3] Following a tip-off from their newspaper's informant Mr. Hatter, reporters Jeff Holly and Amanda North are assigned to cover a murder case where a body has been found in a suitcase.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Superficial in its approach and weak in construction, this innocuous thriller loses any opportunities its sordid crime subject might have offered.

Paul Carpenter is a manly Jeff, and Melissa Stribling displays a certain amount of charm as Amanda, but Peter Swanwick has to show his hand much too early as killer Hatter, and the rest mean little.

"[6] Picturegoer wrote: "By relegating the men in blue to a back seat, the film – despite tolerably good acting – sacrifices credulity and creates more unintentional laughs than intentional thrills.
