On 27th January 2017, Chandra Lawson was shot dead by her husband whilst she stood next to their two year old son. From the outset, Bryan Lawson claimed self defence. He said that he had been abused by his wife for years. In this episode we discuss the blinding evidence in this case and the fact that the entire shooting was recorded on the couple’s home security system.

On December 17th 2010, Joanna Yeates was seen on CCTV buying cider and a pizza before walking home to her flat in Clifton, Bristol. On December 19th 2010, Joanna’s boyfriend returned home to their flat to find Joanna’s phone and bag there, along with the ciders she had bought from the shop.
