In June 2020, at the height of the COVID lockdown, 40 year old Aneta Zdun and her 18 year old daughter Nikoleta were killed by husband and father Marcin Zdun. Their 6 and 5 year old daughters witnessed the horrific murders and were screaming for their mother and sister.
A man with a history of violence, control and abuse, he killed Aneta and Nikoleta just six weeks after Aneta had kicked him out of their home to escape the abuse.
Even though the murders were witnessed by two young children and a number of members of the public, Zdun still tried to minimise what he had done. He was found guilty of their murder though and sentenced to life.
This is the story of the Zdun Family.

In 2014, 66 year old Christine Lee and her 40 year old daughter Lucy Lee were shot and killed by Christine’s partner 82 year old John Lowe.
Lowe was a violent and controlling man who had a history of criminality and yet was allowed to retain his firearms licence and his shotguns. He killed Christine as she was planning to leave him and maintained the murders were an accident. This is a case with a lot of agency engagement and red flags and clear systemic failings towards the victims.
This is the story of Christine and Lucy Lee.

25 years later in October 1999, Wanda Harrington and her 3 year old son Brian were shot and killed by husband and father, none other than Paul Harrington. He had killed his second family. This time he was found guilty of the murders of his family and sentenced to life in prison.

In July 2003, 39 year old Joanie Harper, her mother 70 year old Earnestine Harper and her three children 4 year old Marques, 2 year old Lyndsey and 6 week old Marshall were brutally killed by husband, son in law and father Vincent Brothers.
A seemingly well respected school Vice Principal, Brothers had a history of violence and abuse and carried out a planned and calculated murder of his whole family – while believing that his airtight alibi would remove him from suspicion.
Through forensics, entomology and investigating the mileage of a rental car, Brothers was arrested and tried for the murders of his family and is currently sitting on death row in California.
This is the story of the Harper Family.

In January 2016 the bodies of 43 year old Sian Blake and her sons 8 year old Zachary and 4 year old Amon were discovered in a shallow grave in the garden of their home they shared with Sian’s partner and the boys’ father Arthur Simpson-Blake.

She was getting ready to leave Simpson-Kent and his controlling ways. He discovered this and took his one final, fatal act of control by killing his whole family before fleeing to Ghana.
He was extradited and arrested back in the UK where he was given a whole life sentence for the brutal murder of his whole family.

In October 1992 on the Central Coast in Australia 23 year old Kerry Gannan and her 18 year old sister Lisa – who was seven months pregnant – were shot and killed by Kerry’s violent ex-boyfriend Malcolm Baker. He also shot Kerry and Lisa’s father Thomas who was with them that evening and shot and injured Kerry’s new boyfriend 22 year old Christoper Gall. He survived.
Baker then jumped in a car and went on to shoot and kill his 27 year old son David Baker and then travelled to kill 35 year old Ross Smith and 25 year old Leslie Read who was reportedly pregnant at the time. Baker blamed Ross for a failed business deal.
Baker was a violent, abusive and controlling perpetrator who sought revenge on his ex-girlfriend who had left him to protect herself. He later handed himself into police and died in prison in 2024.
This is the story of Kerry, Lisa and Thomas Gannan, David Baker, Ross Smith and Leslie Read.

On Christmas Eve 2002 43 year old Jean Wholaver and her two daughters – 20 year old Victoria and 15 year old Elizabeth were killed by estranged husband and father Ernest Wholaver. Victoria’s 9 month old daughter was also in the house but left physically unharmed.
Although he killed them in their home – he had come from his parent’s house – as at that point he had been charged with multiple sexual offences against his daughters Victoria and Elizabeth and they had secured a protection order against him.
Thought to be motivated by eliminating Jean, Victoria and Elizabeth as witnesses in the sexual offences case against him, Wholaver was convicted of the murders and sentenced to death. He sits on death row to this day.
This is the story of the Wholaver Family.

In early May 1999 34 year old mother of three Debbie Griggs was reported missing from Deal in Kent. She was 18 weeks pregnant with her fourth child. Her husband Andrew Griggs told police that Debbie left their house after an argument just never came back.
Although police doubted Griggs story of events, they didn’t have enough evidence to charge him at the time as the search for Debbie continued to turn up nothing. It would take her family over 20 years to finally see justice.
Prompted by Debbie’s family to re-investigate in 2015, Kent Police Cold Case team took up Debbie’s case.
What they found was evidence of coercive control, sexual abuse by Griggs and forensic evidence that meant they could finally arrest Debbie’s husband for her murder. Griggs was later convicted of her murder and started serving a prison sentence.
In 2022, police received a new lead on where Debbie’s body might be – from the most unexpected source – one of Debbie’s now adult children.
The body of Debbie and her 18 week old unborn baby was found in the garden of Griggs’ house in Dorset that he moved into in 2001. She was finally laid to rest.
This is the story of Debbie Griggs.

In October 1989 30 year old Carol Stuart was shot and killed in her car in Boston when she was with her husband Charles Stuart. She was seven months pregnant with their first child. Charles or Chuck Stuart was also shot in the stomach and called 911 from his car phone.
Once first responders reached Carol and Chuck they transported them to hospital. Chuck survived but sadly Carol died later that evening – her baby was delivered by C section weeks premature and baptised Christopher Stuart. Sadly he died 17 days later and both his and Carol’s deaths were treated as murder.
Chuck told police that a black man car jacked them and shot them both and so ensued a manhunt through the city of Boston with a man called Willie Bennet arrested for the murders of Carol and Christopher. Then Chuck’s brother Matthew blew the case wide open as he told police that it was Chuck who had shot and killed Carol to get her life insurance. Chuck took his own life the next day.
This is not only a story of a man who killed his family, but a story of deep deception, racism and a psychopath who nearly got away with murder.
This is the story of Carol and Christopher Stuart.

In January 2012 31 year old Sarah Laycock and her eight year old daughter Abigail were killed by Sarah’s partner John Miller in Garforth in Leeds. Their 4 year old daughter survived but was left alone with the bodies of her mother and sister for over 12 hours.
An abusive man with a history of controlling behaviour, Miller was arrested after the murders and convicted – but only of manslaughter. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2013 which means he might be free very soon.

In July 1991 Tonya Clayton Green was killed by her husband Gregory Green, she was six months pregnant at the time. Green was convicted for second-degree murder and was sentenced to serve 15 to 25 years in prison. Within 16 years he had been released and sadly, this is not where this story ends.
Green was released in 2008 and by 2010 he had married Faith Green and they went on to have two daughters together. Green was an abusive and controlling husband and in 2016 Faith filed for divorce.
In September 2016 Faith was brutally assaulted by Green who then forced her to witness the murder of her two children – his stepchildren – 19 year old Chadney and 17 year old Kara. Green then killed his own two children – 5 year old Koi and 4 year old Kaleigh. Faith survived the brutal attack.
Green was convicted and sentenced to 45 to 100 years in prison as questions remain on how he was released and allowed to become a two time family annihilator.
This is the story of Tonya Clayton and Faith Green and her children.

In September 1971 in South Australia 40 year old Heather Bartholomew, her seven children – Neville, Christine, Sharon, Helen, Gregory Roger and Sandra - her sister Winnis and her 19 month old son Daniel were all killed by Clifford Bartholomew – Heather’s husband and father of six of the eight children he killed.
Known at the time as the deadliest familicide in Australian history – Bartholomew was arrested and sentenced for the murder of his wife. Although given a life sentence he ended up serving less than 8 years. Once out of prison Bartholomew changed his name, married again and was stepfather to children who were similar ages to his children that he killed. His second family had no idea that he had murdered so many people until he and his wife died.
A horrific family annihilator who was given a second chance by the justice system.
This is the unbelievable story of the Bartholomew Family.

Neighbours and family couldn’t believe that McFall did what he did.

In February 2010, 24 year old Stephanie Bellinger and her 10 month old daughter Lili were killed by partner and father of Lili, Anthony Marsh. He claimed that voices in his head told him to kill Stephanie and Lili but others asserted that he was trying to avoid his responsibilities and also had revenge as a motive.
Stephanie and Marsh’s other child - two and half year old boy – was physically unharmed in the attack but left alone by Marsh for over 24 hours.
Despite denying murder on the grounds of diminished responsibility, Marsh was found guilty of the murder of Stephanie and Lili and was sentenced to life imprisonment.

In November 2019, 28 year old Jennifer Rothwell was killed by husband Beau Rothwell – she was six weeks pregnant with his baby.
Having googled "What to do if your husband is upset you are pregnant” before she was killed Jennifer wasn’t sure if Rothwell wanted their baby.
