We are back after the summer break with the terribly sad story of the murder and subsequent miscarriage of justice of Joanna Simpson.
On the evening of 31st October 2010, 46 year old mum of two, Joanna Simpson became yet another statistic. Another woman killed by the hand of the man she once loved and who had loved her. Robert Brown was her estranged husband and father of her kids who that afternoon, right in front of the children beat Joanna to death.
This violent act was the culmination of years of abuse and controlling behaviour. We explore how domestic abuse comes in many forms and how anyone from any walk of life can become a victim.
Sources for this month's episode are the brilliant podcast, the Crime Analyst and the ITV show, The British Airways Killer amongst others.
