Violence, Drugs and Prostitution: The Murder of Kirsty Grabham
In April 2009, Kirsty Grabham was murdered by her husband Paul Grabham. Her battered body was found in a tiny suitcase after it was thrown from the M4. There was a huge murder investigation in Swansea which made headline news when it was revealed that Kirsty and her husband both worked as escorts. We reveal the truth about their marriage within the sex industry and the horrific murder, plus how Grabham tried to get away with the killing. We interview Kirsty's mother, Cathy Broomfield, and her sister Sonya, and we reveal the other side to the Kirsty they knew, not the working girl reported in the media. With exclusive access to never seen before home footage from their wedding and Kirsty's childhood, plus extracts from her diaries where she talks directly to her killer, asking him why he wants her to sleep with other people for money. We uncover a tragic story which culminated in a horrific murder.

Five Murders, One Family... One Killer
In October 2000 in a tiny hamlet in Cornwall, police discovered the bodies of Lesley Ford and her four eldest children, buried in a woodshed in the garden of the family home they shared with Lesley's husband and step-father to the children, Lee Ford. It was a crime that shocked the nation. Ford confessed to killing them all one by one by garotting them in the kitchen of the family home, before burying their bodies. Now, for the first time since the murders 12 years ago, Lesley's ex-husband and biological father of their four children, Michael Tranter, talks about what happened and how Ford tried to cover up his terrible crimes. Peter Wyatt, Lesley's brother, who raised the alarm when the family went missing also talks to us, as well as the children's teacher and the senior police officer on the case. With expert analysis from Forensic Psychologist Dr Keri Nixon and psychologist Emma Kenny, we profile Ford and reveal the horrific impact this had, not only on the loved ones left behind, but also those in the community nearby.
Episode 5 • Dec 04, 2012
Killed by Her Pen Pal Lover
In February 2006, 19-year-old Carly Fairhurst was killed by her boyfriend, convicted killer Darren Pilkington. Pilkington had already served time for killing a friend in 2000. At the age of 15 Carly began writing to 'Pilky', a friend of her brother's in jail. He murdered her within two years of coming out of prison. In this incredibly powerful story we reveal what happened and the impact Carly's death has had on her family and friends. With exclusive access to home video footage of Carly, plus interviews with her parents Trevor and Sheila, we discover that she was a victim of domestic violence who suffered in silence and paid for it with her life. We also talk to her school friends who also became pen pals with prisoners and with the nurse who eventually switched off Carly's life support machine. This is a story of the dangers of domestic abuse and the impact the death of a child has on a family. Expert analysis from Forensic psychologist Dr Keri Nixon and psychologist Emma Kenny, gives us an insight into the mind of her killer, Darren Pilkington.
