Laura explores the nuanced case of Ruth Ellis, the last woman hanged in Britain. In April 1955, Ruth shot her lover David Blakely outside a pub in North London. The case itself was open-and-shut, but the motivations behind it were far more complicated. Ruth paid for the crime with her life. But could things have worked out differently if the police had properly investigated the complexities of her relationship with not only David but her other lover Desmond Cussen?
